膽巴

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: Dam pa Kun dga' grags pa

Senses:

  • The Sakya master Dampa Künga Drakpa (Dam pa Kun dga' grags pa, 1229–1303) was brought to China by Chos rgyal 'Phags pa and served for the Yüan government. The crown prince Āyurparvata ordered the composition of Dampaʼs biography in 1308 (T 2035, 49.435b26–b27), which should be roughly identical to the one in the Fozu lidai tongzai 佛祖歷代通載 (T 2036.49.725c14–727a6). A hand scroll commonly known as the Stele of Dampa 膽巴碑, supposedly composed by Zhao Mengfu 趙孟頫, also contains a condensed version of Dampaʼs biography. The biographical entry of Dampa in the Yuanshi does not go beyond these two sources. (Franke, 157–180)
