Sa-paṇ's work has formed the basis for several western-language studies, most notably David Jackson's 1987 The Entrance Gate for the Wise. Whereas Jackson's book focused on the work's third and final chapter, on monastic debate, Gold investigates the chapters on scholarly composition and textual exposition (and, in an appendix, includes a translation of a significant portion of the composition chapter), thereby dovetailing with Jackson's opus. Gold's stated purpose “is to explain the philosophy of scholarship embedded within [these] first two chapters” (7), a purpose that he fulfills admirably. Through a careful examination of this difficult text, Gold offers the reader Tibetan theories of translation, linguistics, hermeneutics, and poetics and places the first three of these theories in conversation with western notions of the same. The philosophy of scholarship that Gold uncovers successfully draws Sa-paṇ's technical composition into dialogues of interest to a wide range of humanistic inquiry.
The book begins by sketching an important element of the background to Sa-paṇ's composition, the tension between what we might term gnostic and textual models of authority. In a worldview in which India—land of the Buddha and source of (much of) Tibet's transmission of Buddhism—represented authenticity, Tibetan virtuosos asserted their own dominion by laying claim to tantric lineages of Indian siddhas and to traditions of textual learning (and often, to both). The bewildering variety of teachings propagated in Tibet prior to the thirteenth century, all claiming Indian authenticity, spawned what Ronald Davidson's Tibetan … |
