东科尔活佛系统与藏传佛教格鲁派北渐蒙古地区

The sTong-vKhor Living Buddha System and the Spread of dGe-Lugs Sect of Tibetan Buddhism to the North of Mongolia

青海河湟东科寺源于今四川甘孜县的东谷寺。该寺第二世东科尔活佛云丹嘉措于明万历年间来青海,成为第三世达赖喇嘛弟子。自此,历辈东科尔作为格鲁派代表传教于大漠南北和西蒙古,使藏传佛教文化与蒙古族传统文化相结合,逐步形成蒙古族普遍信仰格鲁派的局面。

The sTong-vKhor Monastery in Qinghai Hehuang area originated from the present day sTong-vKhor Monastery in Ganzi County,Sichuan Province.The Second sTong-vKhor living Buddha of the monastery,Yon-Tan-rGya-mTsho,came to Qinghai during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty and became a disciple of the third Dalai Lama.Since then,as a representative of the dGe-Lugs Sect,sTong-vKhor successive masters have preached in the north and south of the Desert region and Western Mongolia,combining Tibetan Buddhist culture with Mongolian traditional culture,and gradually forming a situation in which the Mongolian people generally believe in the dGe-Lugs Sect.
