A traditional handwritten/handcopied, undecorated and unbound Tibetan book (pecha), on handmade paper, telling the story of the Delok Lingsa Choskyit, who entered the netherworld between life and death, witnessed the realms of hell and came back to report on the future that might await. Written in Tibetan Uchen script on separate sheets of paper. Like many Buchen texts, this is an edifying biographical /hagiographical story (namthar) used to illustrate and explain essential Buddhist ideas of karma and impermanence. It is in generally good condition for its age of 150 years or so, but is incomplete. Size 370 x 90 mm.
The material is owned by Meme Sonam Palden and has been handed down from father to son through several generations of head Buchen. All the materials in the archive are kept within the prayer room of a modern house.
