Abstract
:
The article by Pema Wangdu entitled, "Sa skya'i `bag mo zhes pa byung tshul lo rgyus ngag rgyun du chags pa `ga' zhig", was printed by G.yum tsho, The Journal of Tibetan Women's Studies in 1995 by the Amnye Machen Institute. The Sa skya `bag mo seem to be well known in modern oral legend and although the `bag mo are sometimes mentioned in academic literature, substantial texts are not dedicated to them and they are usually mentioned simply in passing or in a footnote. For this research, I translated the article by Pema Wangdu and additionally conducted interviews with five Tibetans from diverse backgrounds, in order to discover if modern oral legends of the Sa skya `bag mo are still flourishing in the present day. In this paper, I seek to advance the knowledge of the Sa skya `bag mo in a particular moment and time through narrations, from Tibetans who have heard the oral histories and accounts of them.
