Among these, the mar pa bka’ brgyud section consists of 95 texts with a total of 1049 folios (a few of these texts have been translated already; translations I know of are noted in [ ]). In general, the texts contained in this section can be broadly classified into five main categories:


1) Sadhanas, abhisheka manuals, and ritual instructions on the deities Cakrasamvara, Vajrayogini, Mahakala, and Vetali (289 folios)

Line 117: Line 93:


Thus, the bulk of these texts (35 %) consists of sadhanas, abhisheka manuals, ritual instructions, supplications, and—surprisingly few—instructions on the primary deities Cakrasamvara and (to a lesser degree) Vajrayogini. The second biggest group (32 %) consists of texts on Mahamudra, followed by instructions on The Six Dharmas (11 %). The miscellaneous group (22 %) contains a variety of texts such as a number of guru yogas, some texts by the Karmapas, Jigten Sumgon’s dgongs pa gcig pa, supplications, instructions on utpattikrama and sampannakrama.

THE TREASURY OF SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTIONS
 
(GDAMS NGAG MDZOD)
 
The structure of the gDams ngag mdzod follows a format that Kongtrul also adopted in two
 
others of his five “Treasuries,” that is, the texts it contains fall into three major categories:
 
· liturgies, including lineage supplications, sadhanas, ganacakra rituals, aspiration
 
prayers, and so forth. In the case of each of six of the eight lineages of spiritual
 
accomplishment, Kongtrul himself composed gurupuja ritual, as well as an “overall”
 
ritual focusing on the gurus of all eight lineages;
 
· empowerment rituals; and
 
· scriptural sources and instruction manuals.
 
It is clear that Kongtrul’s intention was not simply one of presenting “teachings” in the
 
limited sense of the word that the word can convery to Westerners, but a complete if concise
 
“package,” as it were, of empowerment, oral transmission, and instruction (dbang lung khrid) for
 
each of these lineages.
 
I have tried to track down existing English translations of texts in the gDams ngag mdzod
 
that have already been published. This search has obviously not included possible translations
 
produced on the “dharma center level.” Perhaps not suprisingly, much of the existing material has
 
been published by Snow Lion.
 
In the undertaking of a project to produce translations of the texts in this collection, there
 
are several issues that need to be addressed. Some of these are purely technical, but there are also
 
concerns about accessibility and distribution.
 
Resource Personnel
 
The first issue is that of finding teachers who are willing to work with translators to answer
 
questions that will crop up in the process of translation. It is obvious that many of the texts in the
 
gDams ngag mdzod cannot be translated properly without recourse to teachers and scholars
 
qualified in the respective schools. We are fortunate that Ringu Tulku is very supportive of the
 
project; having the backing of a traditionally-trained Tibetan master to network with potential
 
resource scholars will be a great advantage. We need to ask whether he is willing to serve as the
 
2
 
official liason between lamas and scholars on the one hand, and those working on the project on the
 
other.
 
Accessibility of Teachings
 
In addition to our finding people qualified to serve as resource personnel, another issue that
 
will no doubt present itself will be that of the appropriateness of making translations of certain texts
 
widely available. While many of the teachings fall into the category of “exoteric” instructions that
 
could be made freely available in English publication, a significant number fall within the realm of
 
Vajrayana teachings and “mind teachings” (such as mahamudra and rDzogs chen).
 
In fact, some teachings even come with explicit injunctions; in volume 17 of the Khrid sna
 
tshogs section, for example, the last line of ’Jam dbyangs mkhyen brtse’i dbang po’s instruction
 
manual concerning the white Tara states:
 
It is crucial that a strict seal be imposed, of keeping this text from any but those who
 
uphold the uncommon lineage of the Tshar pa [subschool of the Sa skya].
 
In Rin chen gru bo, Longchenpa’s overview of the Kun byed rgyal po tantra of the Category of
 
Mind teachings of Dzogchen, it is stated that the text should not be transmitted to more than five
 
qualified students at a time (mind you, an English translation, which includes this injunction, has
 
already been published as You Are the Eyes of the World (Kennard Lipman & Merril Peterson,
 
trans.; Snow Lion Publications, 2000). Yet another example is that of the guruyoga practice of the
 
Shangs pa bka’ brgyud, based on the six-armed Mahakala and known as “sNying zhugs.”


Another question to be addressed is whether there is any real need to translate
empowerment manuals at all. But aside from the fact that in the future there will hopefully be
English-speaking lineage holders who will be bestowing these empowerments on English-speaking
students (both groups, alas, as ignorant of Tibetan as the vast majority of Tibetans were of
Sanskrit), these manuals contain much valuable information about the specific lineage and
tradition, and about the general models that apply to Vajrayana teachings.
Obviously then, there will need to be some kind of prioritizing of which texts are
appropriate for public distribution, and which might be relegated to some kind of model for limited
3
distribution. I think this issue is one that needs attention. The argument that valuable teachings
should be translated to facilitate their transmission in the future in non-Tibetan contexts needs to be
weighed against the traditions’ caution against making certain teachings too public. Different
teachers of course have different standards concerning how strict a seal needs to be applied in the
case of any given text, but even the younger, more Westernized lamas can show a real resistance to
participating in the process of “revealing secrets.” It would be interesting to have input from
translators who have already had to deal with the secrecy issue and have done so within the
boundaries of a respectful relationship with the tradition and the teachers with whom one is
working. One example that comes to mind is that of Cyrus Stearns’ experience in working on
Taking the Result as the Path: Core Teachings of the Sakya Lamdré Tradition, his volume
published in the Library of Tibetan Classics series.
Existing Translations
Another issue that needs to be discussed is that fact that certain texts have already been
translated into English and published. This is especially so in the case of the Kadamapa volumes,
due in large part to Tupten Jinpa’s book Mind Training: The Great Collection. If a text has already
been translated in a competent way, it seems a bit redundant to redo it for inclusion in the Tsadra
Foundation series, even if the style of the existing translation differs greatly from the one that
would be produced under Tsadra’s auspices. Readers of the Tsadra volume could be directed to the
previous translations to supplement the Tsadra translations of that volume. This should probably be
discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Translators
As to who would actually do the work of translation, given the volume of material involved
(18 volumes containing hundreds of texts), it is obvious that this project would have to be a
collaborative effort. I personally am very excited about this project, and am very enthusiastic to
tackle especially the two rNying ma and four Mar pa bka’ brgyud volumes. Hopefully others would
have their own preferences. Clearly, anyone with prior experience translating material within a
4
given tradition would be a “first draft” choice. Still, it might very well be necessary to look outside
the existing group of Tsadra Foundation fellows and grantees for specific volumes or traditions.
As for the time frame involved, this is difficult to predict with any real accuracy. Some texts
would be more straightforward and less demanding than others, and so while the volumes are all
roughly the same size, any one volume might take significantly longer than another. I certainly
cannot speak for others, but my impression in looking over the material in a general way is that I
would estimate at least (not at most!) two years per volume at my own pace.
I have appended a list of all the titles contained in the Shechen Publications 1998 edition of
the gDams ngag mdzod. I have not had time to compare this with the edition published in Paro,
Bhutan by Dil mgo mkhyen brtse rin po che from 1979 through 1981, although at first glance the
later edition seems to be simply a reprint from the same masters of the earlier one. I have applied a
color code (hopefully helpful) to the list, to try to show the relative proportions of liturgies to
empowerments to instruction manuals. This is just a rough first stab; some of the texts probably
contain elements of two, or even all three, of these categories. Where the author was easy to
identify, the name has been included, as has the number of folia on the Tibetan text.

Peter Schwieger. (Verzeichnis der Orientalischen Handschriften in Deutschland, Band XI, 11±12.).
pp. xlix, 649; lii, 305. Stuttgart, Franz Steiner Verlag, 1995 and 1999.
These two large volumes continue P. Schwieger's detailed catalogue of the Rin chen gter mdzod, the
®rst volume (Part 10) of which was reviewed in JRAS 1994, pp. 434±6.
Part 11 of the present publication covers the second part of vol. 14 up to the ®rst part of vol. 34 of the
104 Reviews of Books
Rin chen gter mdzod. Since an understanding of its overall structure and detailed organization is essential
for the study of this enormous collection of texts, a brief outline of its contents will be given here.
To begin with, in the second part of vol. 14, in vol. 15 and in the ®rst part of vol. 16, are found
texts constituting the Cycle devoted to the realization (sgrub pa = saÅdhana, including invocation and
evocation) of the peaceful and wrathful tutelary deities (yi dam zÏ i khro sgrub pa»i skor). The ®rst part
comprises the General Cycle for realizing the collections of realization (sgrub sde spyir sgrub pa»i skor,
nos. 511±593), for instance the bKa»-brgyad.
Then, in the second part of vol. 16, in vol. 17±33 and in the ®rst part of vol. 34 are found the
Special Cycles of realization of the tutelary deities organized in eight groups of saÅdhana (sgrub sde
brgyad bye brag tu sgrub pa»i skor, nos. 594±1318). The ®rst ®ve of these eight groups relate to transmundane
(»jig rten las »das pa = lokottara) tutelary deities, and correspond to the categories of sku
``Body'', gsunÇ ``Speech'', thugs ``Mind'', yon tan ``Good Quality'', and phrin las ``(Ritual) Action''; the
sixth group relates to intermediate or ``borderline'' (so mtshams pa) divinities (or, in an alternative
classi®cation, to mundane ones); and the last two groups relate to the mundane (»jig rten pa = laukika)
divinities....
...In his long introduction to Part 12, Schwieger devotes several pages (pp. xxxv ff.) to an account of a
thread-cross (mdos, nam mkha») rite (cho ga). This account, descriptive more than analytical, tends to
stress the quaint and bizarre, and even the macabre, in this rite in so far as it is connected with the
fourth (abhicaÅra) category of ritual action (drag po»i las rendered here as before by ``harte Verrichtung'').
The signi®cance of this rite is touched on but barely explored in detail. And while the ritual linÇga ± the
®gure of the obstructive force to be ``liberated'' (sgrol ba) by the rite and thus transformed and
neutralized ritually ± is also brie¯y mentioned (pp. xxxix, xli), this is done without so much as a
bibliographic reference to R. A. Stein's ``Le linÇga des danses masqueÂes lamaõÈques et la theÂorie des aÃmes''
(Liebenthal Festschrift, Sino-Indian Studies 5/3±4 [Santiniketan, 1957], pp. 200±34), which remains the
most detailed study on the subject in the secondary literature. As for the rta gdonÇ me ``mare's head ®re'',
mentioned on pp. xxxviii and xl and translated as ``Pferdegesichtsfeuer'', it corresponds to the
va¥avaÅgni, that is, the submarine ®re of Indian cosmography (the va¥avaÅmukha being the entrance to the
underworld). The fundamental structural opposition »jig rten pa (laukika) ``mundane''/»jig rten las »das pa
(lokottara) ``transmundane'' is touched on (pp. xxiii, xxvi), as is the ye sÏes pa or ``gnostic'' aspect
(p. xxiv); but the relation of the latter to the dam tshig pa (saÅmayika) ``conventional'' is not examined,
and the term dam tshig itself is somewhat approximatively rendered by Schwieger as ``oath'', although
in a ritual context the meaning ``convention'' (samaya) is inherent to it.
The ritual and visionary materials contained in these texts together with their quite intricate
technical vocabulary raise a number of problems, as already pointed out in JRAS 1994, p. 435.
Clearly, Tibetological and Buddhist studies need to develop appropriate concepts and a corresponding
terminology adequate to the description of these complex ritual and visionary materials.

Introduction

The gdams ngag mdzod is available in three printings:[1]

  • Gdams ngag mdzod Shechen Printing - W23605 in 18 pothi volumes was produced in 1999 under Tsadra patronage. This is the most complete and contained the few missing pages and texts that had been found since the 1979-1981 version. Produced in manuscript.

This report will focus on the most complete version, the 1999 Shechen printing, which is available on TBRC.

There are 393 texts in 18 volumes in the Shechen edition. The 18 volumes are divided into nine sections corresponding to major Tibetan Buddhist lineages. This summary report will describe the content in a cursory way, by summarizing the content of each of the nine sections using simple and well-known text classifications. We will then discuss previous work on the gdams ngag mdzod, translations of texts from the gdams ngag mdzod, and any research published on the gdams ngag mdzod.


Karl B. Report on Marpa Kagyu

Outline and contents of the mar pa bka’ brgyud section of the gdams ngag mdzod

The Paro edition of the gdams ngag mdzod in 18 volumes (edited by Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche and published by Lama Ngodrup and Sherab Drimey 1979–81)

The mar pa bka’ brgyud section consists of 95 texts with a total of 1049 folios (a few of these texts have been translated already; translations I know of are noted in [ ]). In general, the texts contained in this section can be broadly classified into five main categories:

1) Sadhanas, abhisheka manuals, and ritual instructions on the deities Cakrasamvara, Vajrayogini, Mahakala, and Vetali (289 folios)

2) Instructions on the practices related to the texts under 1) (75 folios)

3) Instruction manuals on The Six Dharmas of Naropa (120 folios)

4) Mahamudra instruction manuals (336 folios)

5) Miscellaneous (229 folios)

Thus, the bulk of these texts (35 %) consists of sadhanas, abhisheka manuals, ritual instructions, supplications, and—surprisingly few—instructions on the primary deities Cakrasamvara and (to a lesser degree) Vajrayogini. The second biggest group (32 %) consists of texts on Mahamudra, followed by instructions on The Six Dharmas (11 %). The miscellaneous group (22 %) contains a variety of texts such as a number of guru yogas, some texts by the Karmapas, Jigten Sumgon’s dgongs pa gcig pa, supplications, instructions on utpattikrama and sampannakrama.
