Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I could conduct two fieldwork studies in Lhasa and Rwa sgreng monastery, Tibet Autonomous Region. In the first year, I obtained a newly published BKa' gdams chos 'byung text (History of Bka' gdams pa school), which is probably kept in the Potala Palace, Lhasa. I have been mainly focused on this text. Then, I gave a paper on this text in the 14th conference of the International Association for Tibetan Studies (IATS), Bergen, Norway in 2016. Also,in the last year, in 2018, I published a paper, ”The Bka' gdams chos 'byung Genre and the Newly Published Ye shes rtse mo's Bka' gdams chos 'byung” as the result of this study. Additionally, I gave talks and published papers related to this study in the workshop, conference, and journals.
