The Buddhaʼs Single Intention: A Core Teaching of the Kagyü Tradition

这本书的出版，第一次使人们有可能全面地了解西藏第二次传播教学的一个重要传统的早期巩固阶段。这一传统--Kagyüpas--的特点是高度怀疑佛教传统，这些传统在很大程度上是以印度学者的著作为基础的。到目前为止，这种持怀疑态度的传统只表现为一场“反智力运动”，尤其是在大卫·杰克逊的开创性著作“单一方式的启蒙”中。随着即将出版的书的出版，这一传统现在第一次以自己的声音和程序说话，涵盖了佛教的方方面面。这本书提供了13世纪初的单一意向基本文本(大公GCIG)的翻译和1633年评论的翻译。这部内容广泛的注释还包括两篇来自12世纪60年代的早期评论。这不仅展示了后来凯居巴人针对释迦牟尼人和格鲁巴人的学术传统捍卫自己传统的视角，而且第一次提供了对还没有以道歉为特征的早期阶段的透彻洞察。要强调这一点，首先是因为到目前为止，学术研究主要涉及这一传统的印度先驱，以及从14世纪末开始的西藏阶段开始的辩证法。另一方面，关于Kagyüpa传统，第一个修道院基金会的时间和早期巩固阶段在很大程度上仍然是一张白纸。

With the publication of this book, for the first time, a comprehensive view of the early consolidation phase of a crucial tradition of the second spread of teaching in Tibet is made possible. This tradition - the Kagyüpas - has been characterized by a high degree of skepticism towards those traditions of Buddhism which to a significant extent based themselves on the writings of Indian scholars. So far, this skeptical tradition has been made visible only as an "anti-intellectual movement", especially in David Jackson's groundbreaking book Enlightenment by a Single Means. With the forthcoming publication, the tradition now speaks for the first time with its own voice and program, covering all aspects of Buddhism.The book offers a translation of the basic text of the Single Intention (dGongs gcig) from the early 13th century and a translation of a commentary of 1633. The extensive annotation also includes two early commentaries from the 1260s. This not only presents the later perspective in which the Kagyüpas defended their tradition against the scholarly traditions of the Sakyapa and Gelugpa but also for the first time provides a thorough insight into an early phase that is not yet characterized by apologetics. This is to be emphasized above all because academic research has so far dealt predominantly with the Indian precursors of this tradition as well as with the later Tibetan phase of the beginning apologetics from the late 14th century onwards. The time of the first monastic foundations and the early consolidation phase, on the other hand, are still largely a blank sheet with regard to the Kagyüpa tradition.
