| 摘要 | Tibetan historiography expanded and changed enormously after the twelfth century. The Mongol empire offered Tibetan Buddhists a new means of self-legitimisation and narrating the past, while the gradual decline of Buddhism in India left Tibet as a key keeper of the flame. After the fall of the first period of Mongol hegemony in Tibet (1240–1340s CE), one sees an expansion not only of the genre of historiography but also of the Padma-vita genre, explored philologically in this article. The main catalyst of this florissance was the Nyingma (rnying ma) master Orgyen Lingpa (orgyan gling pa; b. 1323) and his Katang Dénga (bka’ thang sde lnga) and Péma Katang (padma bka’ thang). The latter (auto)biography of the eighth-century Indian master Padmasambhava offered its readers a new vision of the protagonist as the predestined and eternally fully-enlightened saviour of Tibet. Orgyen Lingpa incorporated the twelfth-century Zanglingma (zangs gling ma) Padmavita into his Péma Katang. Yet he also expanded the opening section to encompass a wider geographical and cosmological vista and added Padmasambhava’s detailed poetic prophecies of the difficult times ahead for Tibetans under Mongol-Sakya (sa skya) rule. These details provide insights into the relationship between Orgyen Lingpa and the Pakmo Drupa (phag mo gru pa) leader Tai Situ Jangchup Gyeltsen (ta’i si tu byang chub rgyal mtshan; 1302/3–1364), who wrested control of central Tibet from the Sakyas. Moreover, a text-historical analysis of these themes shows how they were incorporated into numerous later Padmasambhava biographies and general histories as part of the wider process of creating a post-Mongol cultural outlook and re-situating Tibet in the world. |
