Texts in this fragment


A very curious fol. inscribed on one side only, with a kind of chart. It has a fascination with the three-fold nature of a number of Buddhist concepts. The phrase "Virtuous in the beginning, middle and end" is repeated three times, each time with a three-fold concept written below it. On the chart: Middle of the circle seems to say Dge sbyong chen po thugs la rtogs [=~dogs?] spyong [~spang? sbyang?] mdzod dang bya. Make a fortress free of doubts in the intentions of the Great Śramaṇera (the Buddha). The rays that go out from it are in the case of 5 out of the 6 in triads: Body Speech & Mind; Three Realms; Three Times; Three Bodies; Basis Path & Goal. (Dan Martin's Hurried Notes)
