Texts in this fragment


Single folio that seems to have marginal notes TA rtsa gnyis (or section TA, page 22?). About creationism. Has annotations. If you plant buckwheat, buckwheat grows. If you plant peas, peas grow. I need to look into it more, but the closest parallel I find to this is in the Mdzod phug sgra 'grel (its commentary on the "sharpness of the thorn" passage in the root text). Quotes Brahmajala (Tshangs pa'i drwa ba) for passage on creator concept: phya dang dbang phyug mchod nyes na... All this is typical of pre-Mongol era Tibet-authored discussions on the subject of creators, both Bon and Chos. (Dan Martin's Hurried Notes)
