Tibetan manuscript from Dunhuang
Language(s): Tibetan, Chinese
1.Author:Title: dus bcu'i dar maIncipit: R1.1...mor btab/ ...m pa'i dmyal ba la mthar/This text is incomplete at the beginning. What we have are the actions to be performed at four different times of the year, the first of which is incomplete. The text is difficult to interpret but all of the actions seem to involve paying homage to the buddhas of particular directions. The rewards in each case are being freed from different hells, and having the sins of thousands of aeons purified. This may link the text thematically with the following text of praises toAvalokiteśvara.
There is a similarly titled text in the Pelliot collection:dus drug gi dar ma( [Lalou_1939] 120). Unfortunately this is a fragment containing only the closing lines.
Explicit: R1.12@/_/dus bcu 'i dar ma rdzogs so//_//Colophon:References
2.Author:Title: pad ma mtshan brga' rtsa brgyadIncipit: R2.1@/:/hung pad ma sems pa' sems pa che/This text lists 108 names of praise forAvalokiteśvara. It is the same, with some variations, as the list found in theSarvatathāgata-tattvasaṃgraha-tantra( [Q] 112: 91a.2-91b.7). It is to be distinguished from the a stand-alone text of 108 names of praise forAvalokiteśvarawhich is found in many Dunhuang manuscripts (see for example [BL] IOL Tib J 351) and also in the canon ( [Q] 381).
