噶当派与弥药/西夏的关系(英文)

A Note on the Relationship between the Bka'gdams pa School and Mi nyag/Xixia

由仲·协饶枚介('Brom Shes rab me lce,13-14世纪)所著的《佛陀隐修地热振寺之解说日光》(Rgyal ba'i dben gnas rwa sgreng gi bshad pa nyi ma'i'od)新近被出版,此书提供了关于噶当派的一些新信息。据该文献记载,热振寺第五任堪布祥·沃觉哇(?-1150)在位期间,其弟子们与西夏王室建立了供施关系(mchod yon)。在此前的研究中,作者曾关注过与噶当派有关的5个写本,这些写本均发现于西夏黑水城戍堡中。《佛陀隐修地热振寺之解说日光》的记载或许可以解释为什么会在黑水城发现上述噶当派文献,同时也提供了噶当派与西夏王室之间很早就已建立供施关系的重要证据。

One of the recent publications,Rgyal ba'i dben gnas rwa sgreng gi bshad pa nyi ma'i'od[A Statement about Rwa sgreng Monastery,the Hermitage of the Victor:the Light of the Sun]written by'Brom Shes rab me lce(13th–14thc.)provides us new information about Bka'gdams pa school.According to this text,during the tenure of Zhang'Od'jo ba(?–1150),Rwa sgreng monastery's fifth abbot,his disciples performed a monk-patron relationship(mchod yon)with the king of Xixia.In previous studies,I focused on the five manuscripts related to Bka'gdams pa school,which were discovered at the fortress of Xixia kingdom,Khara-khoto.The description of Rgyal ba'i dben gnas rwa sgreng gi bshad pa nyi ma'i'od may explain why manuscripts of texts belonging to the Bka'gdams pa school's literary legacy were discovered at Khara-khoto.It also provides evidence of a substantial and very early connection of a monk-patron relationship between the Bka'gdams pa school and the Xixia royal court.
