论象征符号对藏传佛教寺院的神圣性建构

A study on symbol in the construction of sacredness in the Tibetan Buddhist Temple

宗教的神圣性是从世俗之物中分离出一个与之相对应的事物特征,以语言、工具为主的象征符号共同建构了藏传佛教寺院的神圣性。从藏传佛教寺院中的护法神、朵玛供品和宗教仪式来看,象征符号作用于寺院的神圣性展示,在人与神之间充当传递信息的载体,并将宗教内化为社会秩序与行为规范,是宗教实现社会功能和信众获得宗教需求的关键要素。

The sacredness of religion is the separation of a corresponding feature of things from the secular,and the sacredness of Tibetan Buddhist temples is constructed together with the symbolic signs based on language and tools.From the perspective of the protector gods,torma offerings and religious ceremonies in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries,symbolic signs act on the temple’s sacred display,acting as a carrier of information between people and gods,and internalizing religion into social order and Code of conduct is a key element for religion to fulfill its social functions and for its followers to obtain religious needs.
