This monograph is a study of the Rgyal ba'i dben gnas rwa sgreng gi
bshad pa nyi ma'i 'od zer (Rays of the Sun: A Statement about Rwa
sgreng Monastery, Hermitage of the Victor), which is a newly
discovered hand-written manuscript from the Fifth Dalai Lama's
private library at 'Bras spungs monastery, Lhasa. It is the first
known work devoted solely to Rwa sgreng monastery, the mother
monastery of the Bka' gdams school founded by 'Brom ston Rgyal ba'i
'byung gnas (1005-1064) in 1057 after the death of his master Atisa
(982-1054). The Bka' gdams school no longer exists, but it has
greatly influenced major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, such as Dge
lugs, Bka' brgyud, and Sa skya school. Rwa sgreng monastery itself
has shifted to the Dge lugs school, but it still has a strong
presence as a monastery related to Bka' gdams school. Since this
work was written at approximately the end of the thirteenth
century, it is a relatively early text in the history of the Bka'
gdams school, and it provides valuable historical, political, and
sociological data on Rwa sgreng monastery. This study aids
understanding of the history of Rwa sgreng monastery and the early
Bka' gdams school-and more broadly illuminates important aspects of
Tibetan history.
