Résumé
Among the Dunhuang manuscripts, there is a special genre: prayers. Some of these documents indicate that the prayers were offered in public on special occasions, such as the founding of religious institutions. The prayers take as their model the Mahāyānistic ceremonial par excellence, the Bhadracarīpranidhāna, which in turn refers to an ancient formula known from the records of Indian epigraphy. Pelliot Tibetan 134, which is the focus of this article, includes (as is usually the case with the genre) a few historical facts inserted in the formulary. Addressed to 'Wu'i dun brtan (rg. 841-842), eventually called Glan dar ma, the prayer implicitly urges the sovereign to support again the Buddhist institution.
