The Bka’gdams gsung’bum contains information and documents that could not have been accessed in the past, and its successive publication has been praised by researchers on Tibetology at home and abroad. The excavation, collation, research and publication of a large number of documents and materials on Tibetan Buddhism, coupled with fi eld work, anthropological research, and study trips in Tibetan areas in the past decade, have contributed to great progress and breakthroughs in the study of Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan culture. However, despite the discovery of many new textual materials, it failed to lead to a scientific and in-depth study of ancient Tibetan texts. This is due to the backwardness of research methods, the lack of multiple disciplinary approaches and vision, and limited linguistic expertise. Therefore, most of the studies remain at the level of rough literature overview and introduction, which cannot be called the study of Tibetan ancient book in the real sense, let alone hoping for new breakthroughs. Proceeding from the principle that“a real text must first be a classic,”this paper is based on the study of a large number of Tibetan Buddhist classics in the genres of Madhyamaka and doxography (siddhānta) which have not yet been translated into Chinese. It follows the thread of the historical development of the Madhyamaka thought in Tibetan Buddhism. This study puts Gzhon nu byang chub’s(his years of birth and death are unknown)Chos mngon pa kun las btus pa’i ti ka in the proper historical context. It then compares it with the works of bKa’gdamsschool’s Bcom ldan rig pa’i ral gri (1228-1305), Dbus pa blo gsal rtsod pa’i seng ge (13th cent.), and Btsun pa’phags pa, of Tsong kha pa (1357-1419) and Se ra rje btsun chos kyi rgyal mtshan (1469-1544/46) of the dGe lugs school, and those of Sa skya scholars such as Shākya mchog ldan (1428-1507), and Go ram pa bsod nams seng ge (1429-1480). Following synchronic and dichronic comparative study of the Tibetan Madhyamaka thought, this paper proposes that Gzhon nu byang chub not only provided a new perspective on the classifi cation of the Madhyamaka thought, his writings also have important textual value for rethinking and reevaluating the classical texts in regard to the discussion of and ideological diff erences between the Svātantrika Mādhyamika and the prāsaṅgika Mādhyamika. |
