MA GCIG LAB SGRON Ma’s Many LIvEs pa bka’ brgyud pa’? who were important transmitters of the gcod teachings. He was the last of the so called Shangs pa’i rin chen rnam bdun, the “Seven Jewels of the Shangs pa.’”””° For various reasons, the Shangs pa bka’ brgyud pa may well provide the link to the Mongolian transmission. First, in the gcod transmission lineages the Shangs pa bka’ brgyud pa and the Dalai Lama lineages merge. As already Gene Smith noted,”' the rebirth of the First Dalai Lama as the son of Grub chen Kun dga’ rgyal mtshan resulted in the end of the hereditary line of Shangs pa bka’ brgyud pa lamas. They were incorporated into the dGe lugs pa. Therefore, Kun spangs brtson ‘grus seng ge aka Sangs rgyas ston pa figures also in the transmission list of the Second Dalai Lama dGe ‘dun rgya mtsho (1475-1542), the gCod bstan thog gcig ma (“Principle Doctrine of gCod”), as teacher of gcod.” Secondly, according to the Zab lam ni gu chos drug gi bla ma brgyud pa’i gsol ‘debs byin rlabs sprin phung (“Accumulation of Clouds of Blessing, the Invocation to the Master Lineages of the Profound Path, the Six Tenets of Ni gu [ma]’”),”* Sangs rgyas ston pa also belongs to the Jo nang pa transmission which in the person of Taranatha and his rebirth in the First Jebtstindamba khutagt (rJe btsun dam pa qutuytu) merged with the dGe lugs pa school.™ And thirdly, the Gangpa (Gangs pa) masters of the Shangs pa bka’ brgyud pa bestowed the gcod teachings on the Karma bka’ brgyud masters who, as we will see later, played an important role in the early history of Buddhism in Mongolia. An addition to the colophon of our text states that the work was composed, in the sense of “edited,” by Blo bzang bstan pa chos ‘phel dpal bzang po, on the advice of the spiritual tutor of the Jaya Pandita.”> “Jaya Pandita” may allude here to the Fifth Khalkha Dsaya Pandita Luwsanchoijiwanchig (Tib.
