    Full text link
    The mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school represents a little known Buddhist tradition from Mang-yul Gung-thang in south-western Tibet. It goes back to a Buddhist yogin known as Ma-bdun-pa or Ma-bdun ras-chen (12th/13th c.) and was later mainly spread by mem­bers of the Gur family. Although belong­ing to the “Upper ’Brug” (stod ’brug) branch of the ’Brug-pa bKa’-brgyud-pa school, the mDo-chen tradition has always been deeply infused with the “spoken teachings” (bka’ ma) and “treasure teachings” (gter ma) of the rNying-ma-pa school, and the cult of the “Seven Ma-mo Sisters” (ma mo mched bdun) was part­ic­ularly practised and transmitted by its members. This book presents a critical edition, an annotated translation and a photo­graphic reproduction of a manuscript copy of a rare chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen tradition written by Brag-dkar rta-so sPrul-sku Chos-kyi dbang-phyug (1775–1837). The text provides us with an over­view of the tradition’s development mainly through biographical accounts but also through pro­ph­ecies, prayers and praises for individual masters. The study concludes with two appendices based on the mDo chen bka’ brgyud gser ’phreng, a lin­­eage history composed in the 15th century, and the “records of teachings received” (thob yig) of three important mem­bers of the Gur family, thus allowing us to gain an insight into the trans­missions of the mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school and the interactions of its represen­tatives with other important Bud­dhist teachers up to the 18th century. The present work is a further outcome of the author’s investigations into the cultural and religious tradi­tions of south-western Tibet and the neighbour­ing Himalayan valleys

    During a faunal survey of Lepidoptera in 2023, Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. was discovered and represents the first record of the genus in Vietnam. A single male specimen was collected from atransitional biotype between mangrove and semi-deciduous dry lowland forest habitats near the coast. The newspecies is distinguished from Imma transversella (Snellen, 1878), I. semicitra Meyrick, 1937 and I. semiclara Meyrick, 1929 by differences in wing pattern and genitalia morphology.Während einer faunistischen Untersuchung von Lepidoptera im Jahr 2023 wurde Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. entdeckt und stellt den ersten Nachweis der Gattung in Vietnam dar. Ein einzelnes männliches Exemplar wurde in einem Übergangs biotop zwischen Mangroven und halbtrockenen Tieflandwäldern in Küstennähe gesammelt. Die neue Art unterscheidet sich von Imma transversella (Snellen, 1878), I. semicitra Meyrick, 1937 und I. semiclara Meyrick, 1929 durch Unterschiede in der Flügelzeichnung und der Morphologie der Genitalien.Durante un estudio faunístico de Lepidóptera en 2023, se descubrió Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. y representa el primer registro del género en Vietnam.
