Tibetan manuscript from Dunhuang
Language(s): Tibetan
Title: lta ba'i rim pa /Title: lta ba'i sa chod/Title: (Dṛṣṭi-krama)Ch. 9. I. 9a and 9. I, frag. 32, Pothī; 48.6 c. x 7 c.: foll. 2, numbered verso ga 56-57; ll. 5: dbu-can.
The first title is given in the colophon (fol. 57a, l. 5), which states that the ' Lta-baḥi-rim-pa , work of the Ācārya Sūryaprabha ( Ñi-maḥi-ḥod )' is ended. The second title (fol. 57b, cover): 'that is the Lta-baḥi-chod-pa ; it has been made by the Ācārya Asaṅga ( Thogs-med ).'
There is a Dṛṣṭi-krama-nirdeśa by Dpal-brtsegs ( Śrīkūṭa ) of Ka-ba or Dkaḥ-ba, Bstan-ḥgyur, Mdo-ḥgrel. CXXIV. 12 (foll. 139-42), p. 490 .
Incomplete at the beginning.
Fol. 56. How things, which do not exist, can appear (substances: hare's horn, keśoṇḍuka, &c.).
‘.../yang gal te gzugs la stsogs pa de dag ri bong gi rba bzhin du thog ma'i mtha' myed pa nas/myed pa nyid yin na 'khrul ba'i rgyu[d ]myed pas de 'i dbang gis rnam par shes pa nyid de ltar snang zhes byar yang myi rung ste/... ’
Ends: ‘'The Pratītya-samutpāda, being by nature like an illusion, is devoid of birth and of destruction. Such is its absolute (pariniṣpanna) nature...theory of the Yogācāra-Mādhyamikas....' ’
This mixed school (Yogācāra-Mādhyamika) is known only from Tibetan treatises, and the mention of it points to the Tibetan origin of the Lta-baḥi-rim-pa .
