八思巴为忽必烈授喜金刚灌顶的史实及意义新探

A New Exploration of the Historical Facts and Significance of Phagspa's Conferment of Joyful Vajra on Kublai Khan

1253年,受命管理西藏的忽必烈与吐蕃萨迦派领袖八思巴在六盘山进行了会晤。这一会晤分为两个阶段:第一阶段是以谈判对话形式进行的直接谈判,因忽必烈的苛刻条件以失败而告终;第二阶段是以萨迦派喜金刚灌顶法会为名进行的间接政治谈判,最终取得成功,并促成了二人结盟。这为后来元朝处理宗教、民族关系确定了方向,对于藏传佛教传播、蒙古族与藏族民族关系发展具有里程碑的意义。从中可以看出宗教在铸牢中华民族共同体意识方面发挥的积极作用。

Phagspa bestowed upon Kublai Khan,Princess Chambui,and others,the baptism of Joyful Vajra,which had always been of great significance in the development of Mongolian Tibetan political and religious relations.In 1253,Kublai Khan,who was tasked with managing Tibet,held a meeting with the leader of the Tibetan Sakya faction,Phagspa,in Mountain Liupan.This meeting was divided into two stages:the first stage was direct negotiations in the form of dialogue,which ended in failure due to the harsh conditions proposed by Kublai Khan;the second stage was an indirect political negotiation under the guise of the Sakya faction's Joyful Vajra Summit,which ultimately succeeded and led to an alliance between the two.This set the direction for the later Yuan Dynasty to deal with religious and ethnic relations,which was a milestone in the spread of Tibetan Buddhism and the development of Mongolian Tibetan ethnic relations.It can be seen from this that religion plays a special role in shaping the sense of community among the Chinese nation.
