Abstract

Tuttle’s chapter explores Changkya Rolpé Dorjé’s (1717–1786) sense of self as narrated through dreams involving others—whether buddhas/bodhisattvas, deities, Chinese, Manchus, and Tibetans—as reported in his biography by his student Tukwan Chokyi Nyima (1737–1802). Rolpé Dorjé’s dreams allowed him (and/or his interlocutor Tukwan Chokyi Nyima) to speak to a position of being caught in between the worlds of Manchu, Monguors, Tibetans and Chinese. These were not merely issues of politics; they affected the inner life and practice of figures caught between worlds. And the inner lives of such figures, as captured in these dreams, are precisely what allows us to see how these people negotiated their different relations to the multiple worlds in which they lived. Rolpé Dorjé’s dreams often undermined the common perceptions of the entities and people he encountered, and the reporting of them seems to be designed deliberately to make this point. From these dreams, this chapter aims to recover something of the man, and possibly his inner life, from the emblematic role he has come to serve in understanding and narrating historical relations between Qing China and Tibetan Buddhist lamas.
