Bembya Mitruev, about the Shalu tradition
No full textBembya says the following: The tradition of Shalu was not originally part of Gelugpa. It was a sub-school of the Sakyapa school. Shalu originates in the monastery of Shalu. Therefore, Shalvan-Gegyan, who was a reincarnation of Shalu Rinpoche, was not a representative of the Gelugpa school. To understood all this, one needs to read the texts about the Shalvan-Gegyan’s reincarnations. Kedub Rinpoche, Gyaltsav Rinpoche and Lama Tsongkapa were more Sakyapa representatives than those of the Kadampa school
The Jeweled Fish Hook: Monastic Exemplarity in the Shalu Abbatial History
No full textThis dissertation is an in-depth study of the nineteenth-century Shalu Abbatial History, a collection of biographies of abbots and other important religious masters, or lamas, from the Tibetan monastery of Shalu, located in the Tibetan region of Tsang. Examining the History in conjunction with the autobiography of its author, Losel Tengyong (b. 1804), and vis-à-vis other texts from Shalu, reveals, I argue, that the Shalu Abbatial History is a guidebook of conduct that prescribes to the Shalu monk, its intended reader, a discrete pattern of exemplarity that constitutes the author's own particular vision of what a noble lama should be within the Shalu tradition.
The constitution of this pattern of exemplarity is examined within four themes of virtuous conduct: the dedication to resolving congregational conflicts, the literalist observance of the Buddhist disciplinary code contained within the Vinaya, the devotion to the preservation of books, and the power to successfully exploit violent rituals to protect the monastic tradition. The prescriptive vision, moreover, constituted by these four virtuous themes, lies not only within the History itself, but also more broadly in the intertextual connections that clarify this prescription and infuse it with meaning from the Shalu tradition—the world that has generated, and is reflected within, the text.Ph

Painted Books for Plaster Walls: Visual Words in the Fourteenth-century Murals at the Tibetan Buddhist Temple of Shalu
No full textThis dissertation is a study of some of the mural paintings on the walls of the Tibetan Buddhist temple of Shalu, arguing that these murals mediated and displayed books and book collections as both products and concepts. Elaborate mural paintings made after a major renovation of the temple in the early fourteenth century included long Tibetan inscriptions, displaying sometimes large passages of Tibetan sacred texts as part of their communicative pictorial program. By variously projecting books onto the walls, the temple’s abbot, Butön Rinchen Drup (Bu ston rin chen ‘grub, 1290-1364) placed new textual collections, inherently scholastic and elite projects, assertively into a more public domain. Rendering these books also as images was a way to assert and share the temple’s religious work. The painted images reference texts as sources of authenticity and also bring the ideas and organizations of book collections into visibility. During his time at Shalu, Butön oversaw the work of collecting, editing and organizing the early Tibetan canons, providing edited compilations of both the Kagyur (bka’ ‘gyur; words of the Buddha) and the first version of an edited Tengyur (bstan ‘gyur), among numerous other textual translations and editions. His deep personal investment and dedication to book collecting projects created the interest and desire to use the walls of Shalu as large canvases to express the power and potential of books and their organizational structures. I argue that the abbot and other monks at Shalu must have worked closely with designers and artists who painted these wall spaces in new ways that aimed at using wall images to project and argue for the power and efficacy of books. These murals also then permitted a different relationship to books and to reading than was otherwise possible. At Shalu, murals became an important venue in the fourteenth century through which to negotiate and ultimately to extend the possibilities of the book.Ph.D
