米拉日巴之歌舞缘考

A Probe into the Relationship between Milarba and the Songs and Dances

藏传佛教噶举派大师米拉日巴是一位终生不建庙宇,不集僧众的游方行者。西藏民间有许多关于他与歌舞的传说。笔者在田野工作的基础上,查阅大量文献资料,分析他与西藏丁青县、本(苯)教术、艺人及歌舞之间的关系,认为他与丁青人均来自西藏历史上的"琼波"部族,是同宗同源;他没有直接创造歌舞,但却是民间艺人等崇拜模仿的宗教人物。

Milarba, a master of Geju branch of Tibetan Buddhist, was a traveling monk who never built any temple and never gathered monks together. There are lots of stories about his songs and dances and himself. Based on field investigation, the author referred many documents and information, and analyzed the relation between Milarba, Dingqing county, the artists of Ben branch as well as the songs and dances, saying that both Milarba and Dingqing were from the same tribe called ‘qiongbo＇ and shared the same clan. He did not created any songs and dances, but he was worshiped and followed by the folk artists.
