论藏传佛教寺院组织制度

On the Organization System of the Tibetan Buddhist Temples and Monasteries

公元8世纪开始,藏传佛教创造性地继承了印度佛教寺院的僧伽组织制度,形成一套完整、严密的藏传佛教寺院组织制度。作为一种全新的社会实体与组织形态,藏传佛教寺院组织制度在自律(内部制度)与他律(外部制度)上,超越了同时代其它所有组织之功效。文章运用管理学、制度学、比较宗教学、宗教社会学与文化人类学视野,深入探究印度佛教寺院组织制度西藏化路径、整合与自身特点等问题。

In the 8th century AD, Tibetan Buddhism strated to creatively inherit the monk organization system of the Indian Buddhist temples and monasteries, and has gradually created a complete and rigorous organization system for itself. As a new social entity and organization, the system functionally surpassed all other organiza-tions of the same period both internally and externally. This article, applying the principles of management, sys-tem, comparative religion, religious sociology and cultural anthropology, probes into the pathes of Tibetinization of the Indian organization system, and its intergration and characteristics.
