EDITOR'S PREFACE

Geshe Dr. Lobsang Dargyay ' s concise biography of Gun than is an

experiment. It aims at reviving the traditional Tibetan "art"

of biographical writing by fulfilling a major prerequisite of

"Western" scholarship that is usually lacking in traditional

accounts: not only mentioning but also properly identifying

the sources available in such a way that the information

gathered can be traced and controlled by the reader too. The

Geshefs description of Gun than!s life is a representative

piece of traditional Tibetan scholarship, following as it

does the life of Gun than along the lines drawn by himself

in the beautifully concentrated verses taken from his auto-

biography. At the same,time the Geshe presents all the in-

formation collected with'a clear and detailed indication of

his sources. This makes for a simple, but methodologically

important difference from traditional Tibetan biographies

and similar historical writings. And it also means, I hope,

that the Geshe' s biography of Gun than can be accepted by

the modern scholar as useful, since in fact it is a histori-

cal essay by a traditional Tibetan scholar meeting one of

the major requirements of modern Tibetology.

The bibliography of Gun than f s numerous works added to this

biography tries to make use of the extant information with

regard to the time and place of composition, in .order to

present these works in a chronological sequence as far as

possible. For a philological study of a particular work, and

an evaluation of the literary and spiritual development of

the author, a clear knowledge of the possibilities of literary

dependancy can be useful and important. To give up the ar-

rangement of his works in the gSun f bum for the sake of an

- VI -

- at least partly possible - chronological sequence, is also

a new feature for traditional Tibetan scholarship.

It is the editor' s hope that biographies like the one pre-

sented here, with a clear description of the sources of in-

formation, could be written by other Tibetan scholars, too.

It is only in this way that a considerable number of reliable

biographical data on persons important for the shaping of

traditional Tibet can gradually be gathered.
