The Zhangzhung Nyengyü 'Tsakalis': A Cross-Disciplinary Analysis
- The publication focuses on a unique set of tsakali associated with the Zhangzhung Nyengyü cycle of Dzogchen teachings, a lineage preserved within the Kama tradition of oral transmission. Unlike Terma (Revealed Treasures), which are discovered texts often concealed for future revelation, the Zhangzhung Nyengyü has been transmitted in an unbroken line from teacher to disciple over centuries.
This study, edited by Agnieszka Helman-Ważny, represents a pioneering interdisciplinary investigation into these rare and culturally significant objects. Through the integration of textual and iconographic analysis with material science methodologies – including the examination of paper, pigments, ink and script – the work offers new perspectives on the historical and ritual functions of tsakali. This innovative approach bridges important gaps in the study of Tibetan material culture and contributes meaningfully to our broader understanding of the religious, artistic and intellectual history ofThe publication focuses on a unique set of tsakali associated with the Zhangzhung Nyengyü cycle of Dzogchen teachings, a lineage preserved within the Kama tradition of oral transmission.
