純粹的卡里斯瑪及其傳導性：當代康區及果洛地區藏傳佛教轉世喇嘛的心景=Genuine Charisma and Its Transmissibility:The Inner Landscape of Reincarnated Lamas in Contemporary Tibetan Buddhism in Kham and Golok
This article is intended as a sociological interpretation of genuine charisma in the context of contemporary Buddhist revival in Kham and Golok.It focuses on the inner quality and the collective function of Tulkus [reincarnated Lamas]in the current Tibetan Buddhist revival inside China.On the theoretical level,this article argues against Max Weber’s typology of charisma exclusively as a personal quality that is subject to routinization and demise.Based on the author’s ethnographic recognition of the symbiotic relationship between Tibetan charismatic Tulkus and their monastic institutions,this article presents a case of genuine charisma in Tibetan context not as merely a personality-centered phenomenon but,more critically,as a collective affair in an ancient religious system.The reproduction of this type of Buddhist genuine charisma is positively sanctioned by Tibetan monastic institutions,and is transmissible to those who wish to acquire it.
