1.Title: [Lung chung]Incipit: 1r.1mtha' yas pa'i sems can thamscan [sic for /cad ]/Chan treatise
Short Chan treatise on the method of "gazing at the mind" (rang gi sems la bltas). Extracts from this text are quoted three times in144.4and160.1and172.2under the titleShort Scripture(lung chung). This is substantially the same text asIOL Tib J 1774, although it adds a further six lines to the end of that text, which begin with:
" 2r.2'od srungs che la chos
gtad pa/_/dar ma ta la 'di ltar sgom/ " " 2r.2This dharma was entrusted toMahā-Kāśyapa.Darmatalameditated like this. "As first noted in, a version of this text is also the root text for the commentary found in699, which adds a further line claiming that the work is one of "Ati[-yoga]" (a ti yin no--see6995a.2). The commentary on this line compares the qualities of the teachers of sutra, tantra, andAtiyoga, making it a significant example of the possible interactions betweenChanand earlyAtiyoga. This issue is discussed inand. Thus, including the commentary, we have three extant versions of the root text in all.
