Two Early Biographical Accounts of Atiśa Preserved in Tangut Sources.
While the extant Tibetan biographies of Atiśa Dīpa...karasśrījñāna (982-1054) are abundant, most of the datable ones were completed three hundred years after Atisśa's death. However, two Tangut manuscripts offer early biographical accounts of Atisśa as they were written in the Tangut State (1038-122...

However, two Tangut manuscripts offer early biographical accounts of Atisśa as they were written in the Tangut State (1038-1227). Centering around Atisśa's life at Vikramasśīla and his journey to Tibet, the narratives within the Tangut texts both resonate with and diverge from the more conventional accounts found in sources like the Extensive Biography (Rnam thar rgyas pa) and the Well-Known Biography (Rnam thar yongs grags). As a result, these Tangut sources emerge as invaluable resources for studying the biographical tradition of Atisśa, as well as the dissemination of his life story in the unique context of the Tangut State during the rise of Tibetan Buddhism therein. This paper introduces and translates two Tangut biographical accounts along with relevant Tibetan textual materials. Its aim is not only to present these new sources but also to utilize them to examine the development of Atisśa's biographical tradition. Furthermore, it demonstrates how Tibetan and Tangut studies can be methodologically integrated. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of the American Oriental Society is the property of American Society for Premodern Asia (ASPA) and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
