Tibetan Genealogy, kinship line and reincarnation succession: A religio-political study of the Bar Brug-pa bKa-brgyud-pa sect between the 15th and 16th centuries

拟议的项目致力于研究15至16世纪Bar Drukpa Kagyudpa教派的宗教政治史。案例研究将侧重于巴德鲁克巴传统中两个继承线之间日益激烈的竞争，即嘉旺德鲁克钦转世血统和由罗隆的rGya统治家族持有的传统abbatial血统。这两条路线最终分裂了该教派，将统治的拉隆家族转移到南方土地（lho mon/lho kha bzhi），并在世纪早期建立了不丹的中央集权国家。这一调查的主要来源是迄今为止很少研究的（自动）传记的五个酒吧Drukpa大师站在这两个竞争对手的路线，第13届拉隆王位持有人嘉旺Drukchen II Künga Peljor（1428-1476），第14任拉隆王朝王位持有者阿旺确杰（1465-1540）、嘉王竹钦三世嘉扬确吉扎巴（1478-1523）、嘉王竹钦四世白玛噶布（1527-1592）和嘉王竹钦五世帕桑旺布（1593-1653）。该研究项目利用历史和文献学方法，对选定的藏文资料进行了彻底的检查，以全面研究Bar Drukpas两百多年的历史。本研究将探讨当代藏学研究的核心议题：主要宗族和地方统治家族在塑造中世纪西藏历史中所扮演的关键角色，从15世纪开始成为西藏神权政治特征的转世制度（yang srid）的演变，以及圣徒传在构建宗派身份和创造社会共同体中的作用。

The proposed project is devoted to a religio-political history of the Bar Drukpa Kagyudpa sect from the 15th to the 16th century. The case study will focus on the increasing rivalry and intense competition between two succession lines within the Bar Drukpa tradition, namely the Gyalwang Drukchen reincarnation lineage and the traditional abbatial line held by the ruling family of rGya at Ralung. These two lines finally split the sect, shifted the ruling house of Ralung to the Southern Land (lho mon/lho kha bzhi) and gave rise to a centralized state of Bhutan in the early 17th century. The main sources of this inquiry are the hitherto little-studied (auto)biographies of five Bar Drukpa masters standing in these two rival lines, the 13th Ralung throne-holder Gyalwang Drukchen II Künga Peljor (1428-1476), the 14th Ralung throne-holder Ngawang Chögyal (1465-1540), Gyalwang Drukchen III Jamyang Chökyi Drakpa (1478-1523), Gyalwang Drukchen IV Pema karpo (1527-1592) and Gyalwang Drukchen V Pagsam Wangpo (1593-1653). Drawing on historical and philological methodologies, the research project undertakes a thorough examination of the selected Tibetan sources to present a fully-fledged study of the Bar Drukpas history over two hundred years. This investigation will address topics at the heart of contemporary Tibetan studies: the key role played by major clans and local ruling houses in shaping the history of Medieval Tibet, the evolution of the reincarnation system (yang srid) that was to characterize Tibetan theocracy from the 15th century onwards, and the functions of the hagiographical tradition in constructing sectarian identity and creating social community.
