| Annotation | The article presents results of a preliminary study of “The nectar of oral instructions by the incomparable spiritual teacher – notes on “The Easy Path Leading to Omniscience: a practical guide on the stages of the path to Enlightenment”, a text composed in Tibetan in the beginning of the 20th century. The work representing notes of an oral teaching by the Mongolian lama Lobsang Tenpai Gyamtso on “The Easy Path”, a famous lamrim by the First Panchen-lama Chokyi Gyaltsen, is introduced into scientific discourse for the first time. Lamrim tradition, established by Atisha in the 11th century, due to Tsongkhapa became a defining characteristic of the geluk school since its foundation in the 15th century. Numerous lamrims by Tsongkhapa and other authoritative geluk scholars enjoy great popularity among Buryat-Mongolian Buddhists, majority of who are gelukpas. “The nectar of oral instructions” retains the structure and contents typical for lamrims while at the same time reflecting the historical circumstances in which it was composed. Our study enables better understanding of how the Buddhist teaching was interpreted and practiced in Buryatia and Mongolia at the turn of the 20th century. It also allows us to see how lamrim literature transformed over space and time. |
