sbas pa'i rgum chung
Contents
Language(s): Tibetan
Title: sbas pa'i rgum chungIncipit: ( 1r.1 ): @/_/byang chub kyi sems 'di slob dpon ni mkhyen rab kyi mchog sangs rgyas sbas pas mdzad do/Atiyoga treatise
One of the few works found in Dunhuang that is explicitly classified as Atiyoga, this item has been translated, transcribed, and discussed in 59-76. Parts of the work were incorporated into the writings of Gnyan dpal dbyangs (see 5082,5920,5922). The first folio of the manuscript contains a brief introduction to the main text. According to this introduction, the text's author is one Sangs rgyas sbas pa (Skt.Buddhagupta). In his discussion of this figure,Karmay suggests that he should not be idenitified with the earlier Buddhaguhya (Tib.Sangs rgyas gsang ba) who wrote on the Yoga tantra s. Rather,Karmay prefers to identify him with the Sangs rgyas sbas pa mentioned in the Mahāyoga section of the early tenth century work, the Bsam gtan mig sgron.
