滇藏交界地带藏族天主教徒的信仰实践与身份认同研究

Study on Faith Practice and Identity of the Tibetan Catholics in the Border Region of Yunnan and Tibet

长期以来,藏传佛教信仰及其价值观成为学术界定义藏族民族身份的重要维度之一。近现代传入滇藏交界地带的天主教极大地冲击了当地藏族村寨的传统社会结构和文化模式,并一度引发了激烈的文化排拒。当前在该地区多元文化和族际交往的背景下,藏族天主教群体成功维系其族群意识的同时,通过建构多重身份的叠合认同来理性解决宗教分歧,促进了宗教关系的动态平衡和社会稳定,说明在边疆民族地区,宗教差异并非导致宗教纷争和民族冲突的必然因素,各宗教群体和各民族可以在承认差别的基础上互相理解、互相尊重,从而实现共同发展、共同繁荣的目的。

Tibetan Buddhism belief and value are considered as key factors of identifying Tibetan nationality for many years in the field of research.The introduction of catholic into the borderland of Yunnan and Tibet in the modern time has posed dramatic changes in the traditional social structures and culture models amongst Tibetan villages,and it led to a serious culture exclusion.In the background of cultural biodiversity and inter-ethnic communication,the Tibetan catholic successfully maintained ethnic consciousness,and resolved religious divergences through building multiple self-identities.The new strategy promoted religious balance and social stability.Therefore,it is certain that the religious divergence dose not contribute towards religious and ethnic conflicts directly.Once the different religions and ethnics could acknowledge the differences and to understand and respect each other,it will achieve the goal of common development and prosperity.
