TI - Birth of a Tibetan Buddhist Master, Part 1: Visionary Experiences Prior to the Birth of the Seventh Karma pa, Chos grags rgya mtsho (1454–1506)
AB - This paper highlights the importance of the secret level of rnam thars– accounts of visionary experiences and miraculous events as a sign of realisation in life stories of Tibetan Buddhist masters – based on existing research. The focus is mainly on visionary experiences. This paper contributes to this field by providing an annotated translation, analysis, and edition of a so-far untranslated section of the rnam thar of the Seventh Karma pa from the Chos ’byung mkhas pa’i dga’ ston.
