dpe cha
A Pecha. A Tibetan book, made of long strips of paper, in imitation of the Indian palm-leaf manuscripts.
- Scope & Content:
- A woodblock printed unbound Tibetan text (pecha) on handmade paper. In "headed" Tibetan dbu chen (Uchen) script. An unidentified chowa ritual text. The chowa tradition is associated with the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Commonly with the PemaLing lineage (one of eight different Nyingma traditions). This text and this individual chowa is associated mainly with the Kunchog chi dui lineage (དཀོན་མཆོག་སྤྱི་འདུས) mentioned in the title. Title is བཀའ་རྫོགས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་ཡང་ཟབ་དཀོན་མཆོག་སྤྱི་འདུས་ཀྱི་ངག་འདོན་འཁྲིགས་རིམ་འབྲིང་པོའི་ལུགས་ཀྱི་དབུ་ཕྱོགས་བཞུགས་སོ།.
Extent: One unbound book consisting of 30 folios.
Size and dimensions of original material: Each folio is 50.5 cm x 9 cm.
Condition of original material: Very good condition for its age. Some staining and some discolouration through usage, some inking rather light.
Arrangement: All material is kept in the prayer room. The precise country of origin is unknown. However it is almost certain that the original text was created in Tibet, though the specific material in question may have been copied locally in Spiti (India) at a later date.
