| Summary: | Larung Gar is often hailed by scholars and practitioners alike as a last bastion of authentic Buddhist practice by ethnic Tibetans within the PRC. And yet, Larung is visited every year by tens of thousands of Han pilgrims and houses hundreds of Han monastics who have taken vows in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The author draws on a variety of oral and written sources to show that the Han inundation of Larung was not a byproduct of happenstance, but was actively facilitated by the Larung leadership, especially Khenpo Sodargye (མཁན་པོ་བསོད་དར་རྒྱས་ 索达吉堪布), through the targeted recruitment of Han practitioners. A comparative analysis of Tibetan- and Chinese-language materials shows that the neo-scientific and therapeutic teachings used to recruit Han practitioners superficially resemble similar "Buddhist modernist" discourses in the west and Tibet, but that their content is decidedly more soteriological than this moniker suggests. The article considers whether the encounter between Han practitioners and Tibetan Buddhism might eventually represent a nascent form of inter-ethnic Chinese Buddhist modernism. fu xue zhe he fu jiao tu dou tong yi la rong wu ming fu xue yuan shi zhong guo jing nei zhen zheng cang chuan fu jiao xiu xing de zui hou bao lei. ran er, mei nian dou you shu yi wan ji de han zu chao sheng zhe dao fang la rong, qi zhong bao han le shu bai ming zai cang chuan fu jiao chuan cheng zhong chu jia fa yuan de han zu seng lü. zuo zhe li yong ge zhong kou tou he shu mian zi liao biao ming han zu zai la rong de cun zai bing fei ou ran de xian xiang, er shi la rong de fu jiao ling xiu—you qi shi suo da ji kan bu—zhu dong zhao mu han zu de fu jiao tu de jie guo. tong guo dui cang wen he yu wen cai liao de bi jiao fen xi, ben wen zhan shi yong yu zhao mu han zu fu jiao tu de “xin ke xue” he “xin zhi liao” de jiao fa, sui ran biao mian shang lei shi yu zai xi fang he xi cang de “fu jiao xian dai zhu yi” de hua yu, dan qi nei rong zai “xian dai zhu yi” zhi shang jiu shi shen xue de se cai geng nong. ben wen tao lun le han zu fu jiao tu yu cang chuan fu jiao zhi jian de xiang yu shi fou zui zhong ke neng dai biao le yi zhong xin xing de､kua min zu “zhong guo fu jiao xian dai zhu yi”. 佛学者和佛教徒都同意喇荣五明佛学院是中国境内真正藏传佛教修行的最后堡垒。然而，每年都有数以万计的汉族朝圣者到访喇荣，其中包含了数百名在藏传佛教传承中出家发愿的汉族僧侣。作者利用各种口头和书面资料表明汉族在喇荣的存在并非偶然的现象，而是喇荣的佛教领袖—尤其是索达吉堪布—主动招募汉族的佛教徒的结果。通过对藏文和语文材料的比较分析，本文展示用于招募汉族佛教徒的“新科学”和“新治疗”的教法，虽然表面上类似于在西方和西藏的“佛教现代主义”的话语，但其内容在“现代主义”之上救世神学的色彩更浓。本文讨论了汉族佛教徒与藏传佛教之间的相遇是否最终可能代表了一种新兴的、跨民族“中国佛教现代主义”。 |
