| Abstract | Tibetan Treasure texts are legitimated through two major strategies：an account of the Treasure's origin and an account of the life of its discoverer. A third form of legitimation is the 'byang-bu' or certificate which sometimes precedes discovery of the Treasure itself. The Treasures are texts believed to have been hidden in Tibet for later discovery by Padmasambhava, who introduced Buddhism to Tibet. In Western terms they might be called apocrypha or pseudepigrapha. The legitimating narratives contained within the texts build a bridge between historical and primordial times rather than collapsing or identifying them. |
