| Abstract | Dge ’dun Chos ’phel was one of the most influential Tibetans of the twentieth century. He was born in Amdo in 1903. During his monastic training in the Dge lugs academy, first at Bla brang and then at ’Bras spung, he distinguished himself as a debater, while supporting himself as a painter. He left the monastery in 1934 to accompany the Indian scholar Rahul Sankrityayan, who had come to Tibet in search of Sanskrit manuscripts. Dge ’dun Chos ’phel returned with him to India, where he spent the next twelve years. During this time, he traveled extensively, translated Sanskrit classics into Tibetan, assisted European scholars in their studies, wrote a history of early Tibet, and composed a famous treatise on erotics. In 1945 he helped found the Tibetan Progressive Party, which sought to liberate Tibet from its current government so that it might become a democratic republic within China. Upon his return to Lhasa in 1946, he was arrested on the fabricated charge of counterfeiting currency and was imprisoned until 1949. He died in 1951.
Despite describing himself as a beggar, and traveling alone for much of his life, Dge ’dun Chos ’phel was a well-known figure among the Lhasa literati (both monastic and aristocratic). His fame (and infamy) grew with the publication shortly after his death of the Klu sgrub dgongs rgyan, which criticized many of the philosophical traditions of the Dge lugs sect.
In the decades since his death, Dge ’dun Chos ’phel’s legacy has grown, both in Tibet and in the West. This essay will trace the trajectory of his influence, from the time of his travels in India up to the present day, and will seek to identify the various roles Dge ’dun Chos ’phel plays in modern imagination.
格敦喬佩是二十世紀中最具影響力的西藏人之一。1903 年生於安多地區，並於格魯派寺院受學，先在拉卜楞寺，後在哲蚌寺；那時他即是以其出色的辯論而出名，同時並以作畫維生。1934 年他離開寺院，而去陪同來到西藏的印度學者羅睺羅‧桑克特雅揚在西藏尋找梵文文獻。格敦喬佩並隨他回到印度，在那裡度過十二年的時光。在這段期間，他做過廣泛的旅遊；翻譯梵文傳統文獻為藏文；協助歐洲學者進行研究；著作一本西藏古代歷史；並寫了一本著名的情色論著。1945 年，他協助成立了「西藏進步黨」，目的在於使西藏由當時政府的統治中解放出來，而成為中國治下的民主共和體制。他於1946 年回到拉薩後，馬上被誣陷以製造偽幣的罪名而遭到逮捕，關到1949 年，他過世於1951 年。
除了形容他自己是位乞丐，並且在一生的大部分時間裏獨自旅行，格敦喬佩在拉薩的知識份子圈裏 (包括僧眾與貴族) 是位知名的人物。他死後不久所出版的《龍樹意嚴》，批評了格魯派的許多哲學思想傳統，這本書出版後，他的名氣 (以及惡名) 更行增長。
在他死後的幾十年間，格敦喬佩的傳奇不論在西藏或西方都持續增長著，此篇論文即是從他的印度之旅那時直到現今而來追尋他的影響軌跡；並試圖標示出格敦喬佩在現代幻想中所扮演的不同角色。 |
