论蒙古族法律与宗教的关系

The Relation between Mongolian Laws and Religion

就蒙古族法律与宗教的关系而言,大体可以分为三个阶段,第一阶段是蒙古帝国创立之初,蒙古族法律主要受到了萨满教的影响;第二阶段是北元1578年之后,藏传佛教从方方面面影响了蒙古族法律的发展;第三阶段是清朝统一蒙古之后,清廷在对蒙古族制定的法律中既极力利用又牵制制约藏传佛教.在整个蒙古族法律产生和发展的历史过程来看,无论是萨满教还是藏传佛教都为蒙古族法律提供了神圣性和精神动力,此外,法律也影响着宗教的传播和发展.

The relationship between Mongolian law and the religion can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is the Mongolian empire was founded,Mongolian law is mainly affected by Shamanism; the second stage is after 1578 in the northern Yuan, Tibetan Buddhism influenced the development of Mongolian law; the third stage is after the Qing Dynasty, the law aiming at Mongolia used and restricted Tibetan Buddhism. In the history of the formation and development of Mongolian law,the religion, whether Shamanism or Tibetan Buddhism,has provided a sacred and spiritual power. On the other hand,the law also has influenced the spread and development of religion.
