Tshelpa Künga Dorje ( Tib. Tshal pa kun dga 'rdo RJE ) (* 1309 ; † 1364 ) or Situ turn Lodrö ( si tu dge ba'i blo gros ) was a famous Prince the region Tshelpa or Tshel Gungthang in central Tibet and an eminent cleric of the Tshelpa Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism .

He is the author of a catalog on the Tshelpa Kanjur (the White Annals ) and one of the most important works of Tibetan historiography: the Red Annals .

overview

Künga Dorje was a descendant of the old Tibetan aristocratic Gar ( mGar ) family, whose members held important civil and military posts as early as the Yarlung Dynasty .

He was the son of Drungchen Mönlam Dorje ( drung chen sMon-lam rdo-rje ; 1284–1346 / 7), the 9th Tshelpa (or Tshel-Gungthang ) ruler ( Tshal-pa dpon-po / Tshal-dpon ).

Since the age of 15 (1323) he was the 10th ruler of the ten thousand Tshel Gungthang ( tshal gung thang ), an office that he was to hold for 28 years. He ruled from 1323 to 1352.

In 1324 he traveled to the court of the Mongol emperor in China to be confirmed in his office as head of the Tshelpa ten thousand by the emperor Yesun Timur Khan of the Yuan dynasty .

Through careful management and restoration of the Tshelpa Monastery , Gungthang Monastery , Jokhang Temple (in Lhasa) and Potala Palace (in Lhasa) and the construction of the Riwo Gepel ( ri bo dge 'phel ) Monastery (in Lhasa) he earned the respect of the majority of monks of all schools.

He allied himself with Sakya ( sa skya ) and Yasang ( g.ya 'bzang ) against Phagdru ( phag gru ) and lost.

In 1352 the ten thousand Tshel Gungthang was conquered by the Phagmo Drupa ruler Changchub Gyeltshen ( byang chub rgyal mtshan ; 1302-1364), which ended the rule of Tshelpa Künga Dorje. He ceded the rule to his brother Dragpa Sherab ( grags pa shes rab ) and became a monk in Tshel ( tshal ) under the upādhyāya Sang-rin-pa ( mkhan chen don zhags pa sangs rgyas rin chen ). As a monk, he took the dharma name Gewe Lodrö ( tdge ba'i blo gros ). Rölpe Dorje ( rol pa'i rdo rje ), who later became the 4th Black Hats Karmapa ( Zhva-nag Karma-pa ), came to Gungthang at his invitation .

Künga Dorje died at the age of 56.

The Tshel Gungthang Monastery was the seat of the Tshel ( tshal ) family or the Tshelpa rulers or governors of the Tibetan ten thousand Tshel Gungthang. It was located near the Tshelpa Monastery in the historic Ü Province in western Lhasa .

In the middle of the 14th century, the Kanjur collection of the Tibetan Buddhist canon ( bka '-' gyur ) was revised here, for which the prince of the central Tibetan region - Tshelpa Künga Dorje - provided money.

“The collection of the Buddha's authoritative words called 'Kanjur' was subjected to a thorough revision from 1347 to 1351 in the Tshel Gungthang Monastery in Ü. The 'Tripön' from Tshel, Tshelpa Künga Dorje (1309–1364), made money available for this. Another edition that differs from the Tshelpa version was created in Zhalu in Tsang. "

It took place with the famous scholar Butön Rinchen Drub (1290–1364) and is one of his outstanding achievements. This new edition of the Buddhist canon comprised 260 volumes in gold and silver script and is known as the Tshelpa Kanjur ( Tshal-pa bKa '-' gyur ). It is a revision of the edition of the Tibetan Buddhist canon from 1320 in the monastery of Narthang ( snar thang ) . His most important works include the catalog of Tshelpa Kanjur known as the White Annals ( deb ther dkar po ) .

His historical work Rote Annalen (Tib .: Deb-ther dmar-po , Mong. Hu-lan deb-ther ), begun in 1346, was completed in 1363.
