摘要
In addition to being an influential artist, author, translator, and doctor, Situ was also a central figure in the history of monasticism in eighteenth-century Kham. Over the course of more than four decades Situ officiated over numerous ordination ceremonies and by the end of his life had ordained more than four-thousand monks, a prodigious feat in any time period or region in Tibet. The first half of this article chronicles and characterizes this essential facet of Situ’s lifework, beginning with an overview of Situ’s own monastic training, followed by an exploration of his career as a monastic preceptor at Kagyü monasteries. The historical impact of Situ’s monastic endeavors is perhaps best represented in his ordinations of hundreds of Nyingma monks in Dergé and the latter half of this article provides a critical account of this important episode in the religious history of Kham.
