A Rosary of Rubies: The Chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen Tradition from South-Western Tibet
Full text linkThe 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

This species can be distinguished from N. limbatinella by the following characters: 1, the lateral projection of lamella significantly long, almost extending beyond the tegulum in the ventral view, with a sharp end in N. limbatinella, but not in N. decormaculata; 2, the parmula triangular with rounded tip, and with a small semi-covered depression on its ventral surface in N. limbatinella, but the parmula short without depression in N. decormaculata (Figs 24–25, 26 C–E, 36– 37, 38C–E). Description: For measurements see Chen & Zhu (1988). Male palp (Figs 24 A–C, 24E–F, 25): Tibia shorter than cymbium. Paracymbium simple, reduced, with slender end. Distal suprategular apophysis short and wide, distally bifurcate, dorsal part with narrow hooked tip, ventral part membranous, significantly broader than dorsal part. Lamella well-developed, with four projections: lateral one short, with flat and sheet-shaped end; posterior one slightly long and wide; anterior one large, blunt, with round margin; dorsal one significantly short, almost reduced. Terminal apophysis heavily chitinous, spiral, with about two coils. Embolus with long and wide appendage distally of spermduct-tooth, appendage pigmented at most part but without second tooth, with serrated margin apically. Male habitus as in Fig. 26B. Epigynum (Figs 24D, 26C): In ventral view, atrium opening large, semicircular. Parmula arising from dorsal wall, significantly short, almost reduced. Vulva (Figs 24 G–H, 26D–E): Vulva strongly wider than long; copulatory grooves started mesally, with about one and a half coils; fertilization grooves enter the spermathecae, with about one and a half coils; turning-points short, situated laterally, pointing towards laterally; spermathecae long, slender, significantly curved, pointing towards laterally.

Paracymbium developed, U-shaped, with two flat, broad branches distally, both branches with sharp ends. Distal suprategular apophysis slender, distally bifurcate and significantly curved backwards, dorsal part with narrow hooked tip, ventral part significantly broader than dorsal part. Lamella well-developed, with four projections: lateral one long, with a slightly wide, flat end curved upwardly, and posterior one slightly long and slender; anterior one large, blunt, with round margin, and with a small apophysis anteriorly; dorsal one short. Terminal apophysis spiral, with about two and a half coils, with the tip significantly membranous, beak-shaped. Embolus with long and slender appendage, and distal spermduct-tooth, appendage pigmented at base next to tooth but without second tooth. Male habitus as in Fig. 9B. Epigynum (Figs 7D, 9C): In ventral view, atrium opening small. Parmula arising from dorsal wall, tip of parmula curved in ventral direction. Vulva (Figs 7 G–H, 9D–E): Vulva as long as wide; copulatory grooves starting laterally, with about two and a half coils; fertilization grooves enter the spermathecae, with about two and a half coils; turning-points situated mesally, pointing towards sides; spermathecae long, slender, pointing mesad. Female habitus as in Fig. 9A.
