功嘉葛刺思 [gong jia ge ci si]—Kun-dgah-grags, also named 膽巴 [dan ba] Danupa, a famous Tibetan monk of the thirteenth century, who had influence at the Mongol court under Kublai Khan and after, d. 1303.
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
功嘉葛刺思 [gong jia ge ci si]—Kun-dgāgrags, a Tibetan, whose name translates to "Universally Joyful and Renowned." He was also known as Dauipa (膽巴 [dan ba]), meaning "Subtle." A native of Gam-thog-stang-ma (甘突斯旦麻 [gan tu si dan ma]) in Tibet, he was orphaned in his youth and raised by his uncle.
At the age of eleven, he served a Dharma King Guru (法王上師 [fa wang shang shi]) and learned scriptures (經科 [jing ke]), mantras (咒式 [zhou shi]), mandala rituals (壇法 [tan fa]), and clear methods (明方 [ming fang]). At twenty-four, he lectured on texts such as the Cakrasamvara Tantra (大喜樂本續 [da xi le ben xu]). Soon after, by his Guru's command, he traveled to Western India (西天竺 [xi tian zhu]) and studied Sanskrit scriptures (梵典 [fan dian]) under Gu-da-ma-shi-li (古達麻室利 [gu da ma shi li]), mastering all his teachings.
During the Zhongtong (中統 [zhong tong]) reign of the Yuan Dynasty, by the recommendation of the Imperial Preceptor (國師 [guo shi]) Phags-pa (發思八 [fa si ba]), he took up residence at Shounin Temple (壽寧寺 [shou ning si]) on Mount Wutai (五臺山 [wu tai shan]). In the 7th year of Zhiyuan (至元 [zhi yuan]) (1270), he was ordered to reside at Renwang Temple (仁王寺 [ren wang si]). In the 9th year (1272), he stayed in Dadu (中都 [zhong dou], the capital) and administered precepts (授戒 [shou jie]) to princes and nobles. In the 12th year (1275), he reported the spiritual power of Mahakala (摩訶葛刺神 [mo he ge ci shen], also known as Daheitian 大黑天 [da hei tian]), and a temple of extremely magnificent structure was built south of Zhuozhou (涿州 [zhuo zhou]).
In the 18th year (1281), he obtained the Laozi Huahu Jing (老子化胡經 [lao zi hua hu jing]) and the "Eighty-One Transformations" (八十一化圖 [ba shi yi hua tu]) scroll, and reported their falsity. Consequently, imperial envoys, Chan (禪 [chan]) Buddhist monks, and Hanlin academicians (翰林承旨 [han lin cheng zhi]) debated at Changchun Palace (長春宮 [zhang chun gong]). An imperial decree ordered the burning of all Daoist scriptures (除道德經外 [chu dao de jing wai]，餘悉焚燬 [yu xi fen hui]) except for the Daodejing (道德經 [dao de jing]) throughout the realm.
When Sangge (相哥 [xiang ge]) succeeded to the position of Imperial Preceptor (帝師 [di shi]), he became arrogant and unrestrained. The Master (師 [shi]) rebuked him, but he did not mend his ways. Instead, he was slandered by Sangge, resigned, and returned west. Upon reaching Lintao (臨洮 [lin tao]), he was again slandered by powerful officials, so he returned to his hometown and lived there for six years.
Sangge later sent an envoy to summon him, and he returned to reside at Shengan Temple (聖安寺 [sheng an si]) in Dadu. In the same year, by imperial decree, he led his attendant monk Xijian Zang (昔監藏 [xi jian cang]) to Chaozhou (潮州 [chao zhou]), where they lodged at Kaiyuan Temple (開元寺 [kai yuan si]). The Master believed that Chaozhou was where Dadian (大顛 [da dian]) and Han Yu (韓子 [han zi]) discussed the Dao, and therefore a Buddhist monastery (梵剎 [fan sha]) should be built. The Grand Councillor (樞使 [shu shi]) Yuedi Mishi (月的迷失 [yue de mi shi]), who deeply revered the Master, restored the old foundation of Jingle Temple (淨樂寺 [jing le si]) south of the city and built new halls. The Master personally sculpted a Buddhist image (梵像 [fan xiang]) and arranged for ten thousand monks (萬僧 [wan seng]) to celebrate and praise it. Soon after, he was summoned back to the capital.
By then, Sangge had been executed. At the Master's request, Chaozhou was granted twenty qing (頃 [qing]) of temple land and the plaque "Baoji" (寶積 [bao ji]). When Emperor Shizu (世祖 [shi zu], Kublai Khan) fell ill, he summoned the Master to the inner palace, where a Guanyin Simhanada (觀音獅子吼 [guan yin shi zi hou]) ritual ground was established. The next year, Emperor Shizu passed away. When Emperor Chengzong (成宗 [cheng zong]) ascended the throne, the Master petitioned for the exemption of taxes on monks and Daoists (僧道賦稅 [seng dao fu shui]).
In the 1st year of Yuanzhen (元貞 [yuan zhen]) (1295), he was ordered to reside at Huguo Renwang Temple (護國仁王寺 [hu guo ren wang si]). Also, at Wengshan Temple (甕山寺 [weng shan si]) northwest of Gaoliang River (高梁河 [gao liang he]), he established a mandala (曼拏羅 [man na luo]) to pray to Mahakala for victory in battle, which proved effective. When Emperor Chengzong visited Liulin (柳林 [liu lin]) and unexpectedly fell ill, the Master was summoned. He performed contemplative rituals (觀法 [guan fa]) for seven days and nights, and the illness was cured. The offerings were very generous.
He passed away in the 7th year of Dade (大德 [da de]) (1303), aged seventy-four. In the 2nd year of Huangqing (皇慶 [huang qing]) (1313), he was posthumously given the title "Great Awakened, Universally Benevolent, Widely Illuminating, Supreme Dauipa Imperial Preceptor" (大覺普惠廣照無上膽巴帝師 [da jue pu hui guang zhao wu shang dan ba di shi]). He also held the title "Vajra Guru" (金剛上師 [jin gang shang shi]). His biography can be found in Fozu Lidai Tongzai (佛祖歷代通載 [fu zu li dai tong zai]), Yuan Shi (元史 [yuan shi]), Shen Seng Zhuan (神僧傳 [shen seng chuan]), and other historical records.

Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan.
