| Abstract | Traditional sources attribute to Khyungpo Nenjor, the founder of the Shangpa Kagyü lineage, a lifespan of 150 years beginning in a tiger year, usually thought to be 978 or 990. A careful examination of the chronological indications given in his rnam thar, however, suggest that it is implausible to hold that Khyungpo Nenjor was born prior to the middle years of the eleventh century. The present communication surveys the relevant evidence for Khyungpo Nenjor’s dating, and demonstrates the reasons for which traditional historians regarded his career as beginning a full half century or more earlier than it actually did. It will be seen that the questions raised here are pertinent to the larger problems surrounding the “authenticity” of Shangpa Kagyü origins overall. |
