    A Rosary of Rubies: The Chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen Tradition from South-Western Tibet

    Full text link
    The mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school represents a little known Buddhist tradition from Mang-yul Gung-thang in south-western Tibet. It goes back to a Buddhist yogin known as Ma-bdun-pa or Ma-bdun ras-chen (12th/13th c.) and was later mainly spread by mem­bers of the Gur family. Although belong­ing to the “Upper ’Brug” (stod ’brug) branch of the ’Brug-pa bKa’-brgyud-pa school, the mDo-chen tradition has always been deeply infused with the “spoken teachings” (bka’ ma) and “treasure teachings” (gter ma) of the rNying-ma-pa school, and the cult of the “Seven Ma-mo Sisters” (ma mo mched bdun) was part­ic­ularly practised and transmitted by its members. This book presents a critical edition, an annotated translation and a photo­graphic reproduction of a manuscript copy of a rare chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen tradition written by Brag-dkar rta-so sPrul-sku Chos-kyi dbang-phyug (1775–1837). The text provides us with an over­view of the tradition’s development mainly through biographical accounts but also through pro­ph­ecies, prayers and praises for individual masters. The study concludes with two appendices based on the mDo chen bka’ brgyud gser ’phreng, a lin­­eage history composed in the 15th century, and the “records of teachings received” (thob yig) of three important mem­bers of the Gur family, thus allowing us to gain an insight into the trans­missions of the mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school and the interactions of its represen­tatives with other important Bud­dhist teachers up to the 18th century. The present work is a further outcome of the author’s investigations into the cultural and religious tradi­tions of south-western Tibet and the neighbour­ing Himalayan valleys

    碩士簡媜是在80年代嶄露頭角的作家,從1985年開始至今,這二十幾年的時間,簡媜已出版了二十本散文集。這些作品呈現的主題與內容多變,並且各自有其特色,簡媜在寫作時,強調「主題式」與「計劃式」的寫作策略,也就是簡媜透過每本書,書寫出不同的主題內容。簡媜是屬於喜歡創新與改變的作家,但她卻只衷情於散文,因此她的作品在散文的主架構之下,有些作品甚至還包括了詩、札記、小說等揉合式的文體,由簡媜的創作歷程來看,確實也是如她的計劃一般,多變卻又完整。 簡媜在創作中的思考原則,她視每本書為一個星球,每本書堆疊起來而自成一座星系。本研究依此思考方式,將每本書視為一個單位,依照作品的內容與體裁去歸納、分析,以代表性的書籍中的特色與主要內容作一番梳理,期望對簡媜的書寫形式有較全面的瞭解。因此,本研究將簡媜的散文作品分類,主要分為四章,依序為「抒情書寫」、「社會雜感」、「人生與歷史」與「揉合體裁」四個部分,在第一個部分「抒情書寫」中談到,簡媜在創作之初,主要書寫的主題,包括:大學的生活、佛教哲理與原鄉的書寫;第二個部分「社會雜感」,則是對於社會中的市井小民,生活中所發生的事情,描述出作者的觀察及關懷;第三個部分「人生與歷史」則敘述簡媜親人的成長史、好友感人的人生故事與台灣歷史記錄;第四個部分「揉合體裁」,為散文之中揉合了詩、札記、小說的體裁,讓她的作品更顯多變。 在此研究中,希望藉由探討簡媜書寫的形式,讓人們對於簡媜的作品有更完整的認識。並且能貼近作者在創作與書寫時的本意,以了解簡媜在當代散文創作上的特色、貢獻與成就。Chian Chen is in the 1980s budding writer. Beginning in 1985 has so far, the 20 years, Chian Chen has been published 20 this essay. These works emerged that the Theme and Content volatile, and each with its characteristics. Chian Chen in writing, stressed the "theme-style" and "the Scheme" type writing strategy. Chian Chen is through each and every book, writing a different themes. Chian Chen is like innovation and change the writer, but she has only love is now the prose. She therefore works in prose of main structure, some works, and even but also includes the poetry, notes, novels, etc. combines style in literary style, from Chian Chen of his career does indeed as well as her plan, volatile but complete. Chian Chen of creative thinking in principle, she as each and every book for a planet, chained together and in a block of Star. The study in this way of thinking, will each and every book as a unit, in accordance with the contents and forms of literature works to summarized, analysis to representative books in the characteristics and main points of a carding with the aim of Chian Chen writing a more comprehensive its hangover. Therefore, the study Chian Chen''s prose works category and is divided into four chapters, in order to "Lyric Writing", "sense of community" and "life and history" and "combines types of literature". The first part of the "Lyric Writing", Chian Chen at the beginning of creative, the main writing the themes, including: University of life, Buddhist philosophy and hometown of writing; the second part of the "sense of community" is the city of society citizen, what had happened, described the author''s observation and care; the third part of the "life and history", Chian Chen is described in the relatives, friends growth history moving life stories and the Taiwan history; a fourth part of the " combines types of literature " blend of the poetry, notes and novels the types of literature, and her work more volatile. I hope the study of Chian Chen explore writing, to allow the idea of Chian Chen''s works are more complete picture. And to close the authors writing and creation, and the intention to understand Chian Chen in contemporary prose creative characteristic, contribution and achievements.第一章、 緒論 …………………………………………………………………………… 1 第一節 研究動機與目 ……………………………………………………………… 2 第二節 文獻探討 ……………………………………………………………………… 8 第三節 研究範圍及方 ……………………………………………………………… 18 第二章、簡媜散文的抒情書寫 …………………………………………………………… 23 第一節《水問》的原創性 …………………………………………………………… 23 第二節《只緣身在此山中》:生命的沉思 ………………………………………… 32 第三節《月娘照眠牀》:原鄉的書寫 …………………………………………… 42 第三章、簡媜散文的社會雜感 ………………………………………………………… 59 第一節《胭脂盆地》:台北盆地生活的虛構與紀實 ……………………………… 59 第二節《好一座浮島》:沉痛感傷的「黑色麻衣」期 …………………………… 70 第四章、簡媜散文的人生與歷史 ………………………………………………………… 75 第一節《頑童小番茄》、《紅嬰仔》與《老師的12樣見面禮》:親人的成長史 … 75 第二節《吃朋友》:好友感人的人生故事 ………………………………………… 94 第三節《天涯海角》:台灣歷史記錄 ……………………………………………… 101 第五章、簡媜散文的揉合體裁 ………………………………………………………… 113 第一節《密密語》:詩化小品 ……………………………………………………… 113 第二節《私房書》:札記體散文 …………………………………………………… 120 第三節《女兒紅》:小說體散文 …………………………………………………… 126 第六章、結論 …………………………………………………………………………… 141 參考書目 ………………………………………………………………………………… 147學號: 796010154, 學年度: 9
