An Interdisciplinary Field Survey of Bon Culture in Tibet

1)所有参与者都对苯教聚居地、苯教寺院和苯教宗教活动进行了统计调查。在中国西部、印度和尼泊尔进行了广泛的调查。许多不为人知的苯教人和实践的方面被首次揭示。结果由Nagano和Tsering thar汇编和编辑2)Mimaki和Samten Karmay完成了本教和佛教（首先是大圆满）的比较研究，他们成功地将他们在中国的田野调查结果与他们在巴黎和大阪的文字学研究结果结合起来。3)立川，森，小野田，山口，Masaki和Per Kvaeme进行了他们在印度，尼泊尔和西藏（中国）的图像学和仪式的实地调查。因此，我们对获得一套本曼荼罗有了具体的看法。4)石井和长野在尼泊尔和中国对苯教人的生活仪式、占有和社会结构进行了研究。5)关于苯教的手稿和经书，次仁寺(Tsering Th…More ar， Dan Martin和Miyake主要在西藏（中国）对其进行了广泛的调查和分析。因此，我们有了全套的康珠尔和唐珠尔。6)在语言学领域，竹内和高桥对印度北方邦的西喜马拉雅语言进行了实地考察，而长野则对中国四川的嘉荣进行了实地考察。这两种语言都与张中语密切相关，人们认为年长的Bonpo人会说张中语。关于后者，长野和竹内研究了保存在伦敦大英图书馆和巴黎法国国家图书馆的邓洪手稿。Kitamura和Nishi研究了中国苯族的社会语言方面。来自国外的四名参与者被邀请到大阪来审查和编辑其他人的成果，并将他们的材料电脑化，以便每个参与者都可以利用其他成员的成果。我们还讨论了如何宣传1999年夏季研讨会的成果以及我们未来的项目。少

1)All the participants carried out the statistical survey of the Bon colonies/settlements, Bon monasteries and the religious practice of Bon. An extensive survey was done all over West China, India and Nepal. Many unknown aspects of Bon people and practice were revealed for the first time. The results are compiled and edited by Nagano and Tsering Thar.2)A comparative sutdy of Bon and Buddhism (Dzogchen, above all) was done by Mimaki and Samten Karmay, who successfully combined the results of their fieldwork in China and those of their philological research in Paris and Osaka.3)Tachikawa, Mori, Onoda, Yamaguchi, Masaki and Per Kvaeme carried out their field survey of iconography and rituals in India, Nepal and Tibet (China). As the result of this, we have a concrete perspective of obtaining a set of the Bon mandalas .4)Life rituals, Possession and the social structure of Bon people were studied by Ishii and S.Nagano, in Nepal and China.5)As for the Bon manuscripts and canons, Tsering Th … More ar, Dan Martin and Miyake did an extensive survey of them mainly in Tibet (China) and made an analysis. As the result, we have got complete sets of Kangyur and Tangyur. This will make a solid foundation of Bon studies in Japan.6)In linguistics field, Takeuchi and Takahashi did fieldwork on West Himalayish languages in Uttar Pradesh, India, whileNagano did it on Gyarong in Sichuan, China. The both are colosely related to Zhangzhung language, which older Bonpo people are considered to have spoken. In connection to the latter, Nagano and Takeuchi researched the Dunhoung manuscripts held at the British Library in London and at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris. Kitamura and Nishi studied the socio-linguistic aspects of Bon people in China.Four participants from abroad were invited to Osaka to review and edit the results of the others and computerized their materials so that every participant can utilize other members' fruits. We also discussed how to publicize the results of the symposium in the summer of 1999 as well as our future project. Less
