Panglung states that the canonicity of the Tibetan version of the "Seven Stars Sūtra" ("Big Dipper Sūtra", "Ursa Major Sūtra"), the sMe bdun zhes bya bai' skar ma'i mdo, is controversial. The text is incorporated into the Peking version of the canon only, and is also found in manuscripts in Berlin, and in dhāraṇī collections (gZungs bsdus). In the Peking canon it is inserted between two other sūtras which are regarded as apocrypha (sTag ma'i rtogs pa brjod pa, Mig bcu bnyis pa'i mdo). Panglung presents an edition and translation of the Tibetan text. |
