Examples
-
Traditional Tibetan sources explain that Yeshey-wo was imprisoned during a war that the Qarluq/Qarakhanids were waging in Nepal.
-
Thus, one could infer that Yeshey-wo encountered the Qarluq and was imprisoned when he went to the defense of Khotan during the siege.
-
Yeshey-wo told him to use it instead to convince Atisha to come, and ultimately Yeshey-wo died in prison.
-
Yeshey-wo believed that Atisha had refused because not enough gold had been sent, so he went to the Qarluq (Gar-log) king in order to obtain more.
-
However, if Yeshey-wo went to the Qarluqs on a peaceful mission to request financial support, it is reasonable, considering that Atisha arrived in Toling in 1042, that this mission occurred after 1027.
-
Wanting to reverse the decline of Buddhism in Western Tibet, Yeshey-wo sent twenty-one young men to Kashmir in 971 to learn Sanskrit and study Buddhism.
-
According to later Tibetan Buddhist histories, however, King Yeshey-wo of Ngari went to the aid of besieged Khotan around the turn of the eleventh century.
-
In 971, King Yeshey-wo (Ye-shes 'od) sent Rinchen-zangpo (Rin-chen bzang-po, 958 - 1055) and twenty-one youths to Kashmir for religious and language instruction.
-
The siege of Khotan ended in 1006, while Yeshey-wo issued a final edict from his court in 1027 to regulate the translation of Buddhist texts.
-
Upon his return to western Tibet in 988, Yeshey-wo had already established several Buddhist translation centers with the Kashmiri and Indian monk scholars that Rinchen-zangpo had sent back to Tibet with numerous texts.
