Source of All Qualities: the Severance Feast Activities Arranged Unerringly According to the Teaching Tradition
This text is the Person:Karmapa, 14th’s arrangement of the prayers and practices traditionally used in the Severance feast activities of the Zurmang tradition. The first part of the title is nearly identical to that of White Crystal Mirror in this volume; most likely Person:Karmapa, 14th (Theg mchog rdo rje, (1798/9–1868/9) wished to enhance that earlier text. Also found here are many sections from Pearl Rosary. And it is clear from the internal comments (yig chung) that to practice it one must draw on the liturgies of these earlier compositions. What is distinctive in this text is the addition of a number of the ancient supplications to the gurus of the lineage, particularly the beautiful prayers to Person:Ma gcig lab sgron by her son and grandson. The most unusual feature of all is that Person:Karmapa, 14th provides the authorship for each of the added prayers, a rarity in this Tibetan tradition of recycled liturgy.
Person:Karmapa, 14th was a contemporary of Person:'jam mgon kong sprul and similarly played an integral part in the nonsectarian (ris med) activities of the times in Kham. They exchanged transmissions and teachings, and both of them counted the great Person:Tai Situpa, 9th (pad+ma nyin byed dbang po, 1774–1853) as a primary guru. Their close colleagues included Person:'jam dbyangs mkhyen brtse'i dbang po (1820–1892) and Tertön Person:Mchog gyur gling pa (1829–1870), among many others.
In addition to this text, Person:Karmapa, 14th is usually cited as the author of the most popular daily practice of Severance in the Kagyu tradition, The Concise Charity of the Body for Daily Practice (although the Person:Karmapa, 15th and Person:Karma chags med have also been credited with it). Despite their close connection, Person:'jam mgon kong sprul did not actually receive the transmission of Source of All Qualities directly from Person:Karmapa, 14th but through the Chöwang Tulku, according to the Catalog, which also mentions that Person:Karmapa, 14th himself received it from Person:Tai Situpa, 9th.
