Tibetan manuscript
Contents
Tibetan manuscript from Dunhuang
Language(s): Tibetan, Chinese
Author:Title: [Dug gsum 'dul ba]Incipit: R1.1...[p]u[n s]n[ang]...//
...byang ba'o/ /'di ni gtsug l[ag]...This text exists in three other Dunhuang manuscript versions, all of which have been compared and discussed in [Imaeda_1979] . All of the four copies of the text differ in some respects. The texts [BL] IOL Tib J 420/1(complete) and [Lalou_1939] 37/1(incomplete) share many similarities and may represent one version. All versions contain many irregularities in orthography.
The present fragment covers only the opening section of the text, a discourse on the inevitability of impermanence and death, and the rebirths resulting from good and bad actions, in the god realms and hell realms respectively.
