Oblong format, 239 x 75 mm. Unbound Tibetan manuscript on blue Chinese paper, 28 ff., complete, with four lines of Tibetan dbu can script per page. The indigo-stained leaves are varnished within the text area with transparent lacquer. The opening folio is illustrated with a miniature of Sakyamuni Buddha. Colophon on fol. 28a. Preserved in a modern green cloth case. Beautiful Tibetan manuscript on elegant indigo paper, featuring minute and graceful dbu can script and a miniature of the Sakyamuni Buddha. - In this short Buddhist text, Sakyamuni Buddha speaks to Manjusri before a gathering of monks and bodhisattvas about the Buddha Aparimitayurjnana (Tsepame, in Tibetan), who resides in a realm far above the world. To achieve long life and a good rebirth, Sakyamuni suggests reciting, writing, and listening to the praise of this Buddha. This text, which is not in fact considered a sutra proper but is placed among the Action Tantras of the Buddhist canon, contains a dharani to be recited to achieve long life beyond human limits. This dharani, repeated 29 times throughout the text, has a liturgical function, and its repetition is advised for people in poor health. - Due to a process of translations from Sanskrit to Chinese and Tibetan and back-translation from these languages into Sanskrit, the name of the Buddha Aparimitayurjnana has come to merge with the name of the Pure Land Buddha Amitabha. However, even though these two buddhas are both patrons of long life, the overlap is misplaced, since they appear to have distinct characteristics and reside in two different buddha realms. Regardless, the two Buddhas share their name in Tibetan as well as in Chinese. - The present loose-folio manuscript is written in an elegant golden, regular script and is enclosed within a double-line golden borders on an indigo background. Within the margins, the paper was varnished to create a shiny effect. Outside this field are notes and marginalia. These features, along with the miniature on the first folio, lend this manuscript an elevated ritual value. - Remarkable example of a devotional Tibetan manuscript; a small and elegant object bearing witness to Tibetan Buddhist liturgical practice. - Some folios are lightly damaged. Miniature on first folio worn. - 1) Edward E.
