ABSTRACT

Among the objects venerated and invoked by this blind people are the Sang-ghiêe-Kŏn-cciôă, and the Ke-n-dùn-Kŏn-cciôà. Giam-yang [Jam-yang] and Sciacchiá Thubbà, their Legislator, are the principal objects of worship among the Sang-ghiêe-Kŏn-cciôá. The first is said to have been a San-ghiêe, and his statues represent him seated cross-legged with flowers in his hands. On his right side is always placed a statue of Cen-ree-zij, on his left one of Torcĕ-pprúl [Dorje-prul]; of both I shall speak later. He is only mentioned incidentally in their books. 23
