Description

The bKa'-gdams-pa tradition stemming from the teachings of Ati'sa (982?-1054) is known for its significant influence on later Tibetan Buddhism, including the bKa'-brgyud-pa, Sa-skya-pa, and dGe-lugs-pa traditions. In particular, the scholastic tradition of the sNar-thang monastery, which succeeded to the teachings of Po-to-ba (1027/1031-1105), can be greatly considered from various viewpoints. For example, the seventh abbot of the sNar-thang monastery, mChims Nam-mkha'-grags (1210-1285), was known as a savant and authority on the lam rim (stages of the path) and the Abhidharmako'sa. He had a deep tie with the Sa-skya-pas due to his connection with 'Phags-pa (1235-1280). mChims Nam-mkha'-grags's disciples included sMon-lam-tshul-khrims (1219-1299), the eighth abbot of the sNar-thang monastery, and bCom-ldan Rig-ral (1227-1305), who attended the editorial project of the Tibetan Buddhist canon. This shows that he is one of the key persons in the history of Tibetan Buddhism.

As part of my research on Sa-skya Pandita (1182-1251), I analyzed the relations between the thought of Thub pa'i dgongs gsal, which teaches the theory and practice of bodhisattava path, and the lam rim and bstan rim (stages of the doctrine) literature of the bKa'-gdams-pa tradition. In this paper, while developing my existing research, I considered the significance of mChims Nam-mkha'-grags in Tibetan Buddhism from the viewpoints listed below by using historical documents on mChims Nam-mkha'-grags and the recent publication bKa'gdams phyogs bsgrigs, edited by dPal brtsegs bod yig dpe rnying zhib 'jug khang.
