明代西宁卫所属藏传佛教寺院考补

Complemental Research on Tibetan Buddhism Temple in Xining

明代西宁卫所属藏传佛教寺院甚多。蒲文成先生主编的《甘青藏传佛教寺院》一书对此已有详细的记载,其中尤以对清代创建寺院的记载最多,也有相当数量的明代或明代以前创建寺院的记载。但是,该书主要依据的是清代以来的《安多政教史》、《西宁卫新志》、《青海记》以及寺院保存的部分寺志和当地的口述历史,而不是明代史籍,这对于确定上述寺院是否为明代所建带来了一定的困难。本文主要依据《明实录》等史籍中有关西宁卫所属藏传佛教寺院的记载,对明代西宁地区藏传佛教寺院略加考补。

There were many Tibetan Buddhism temples which belonged to Xining in the Ming Dynasty. There are some detailed records in the book ＂Gan -Qing Tibetan Buddhism Temple＂ written by Pu Wen -cheng. More temples built in the Qing Dynasty were recorded in the book, but a large quantity of temples in the Ming Dynasty or before the Ming Dynasty were recorded, too. However, this book was written in terms of a part of temple records preserved by the temples and local oral history, but not the history books in the Ming Dynasty. So it has certain difficulties to determine whether the temples were built in the Ming Dynasty. This paper only makes a complemental research on the Tibetan Buddhism temples belonged to Xining in the Ming Dynasty according to the history records such as in the book ＂Memoir in the Ming Dynasty＂.
