A Study On The Characteristics And Functions Of "AmChod" In Dagong Monastery In Regong

"Amchod" is a transliteration of Tibetan "(?)",which mainly refers to folk worshippers who live in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and pray for the dead and recite scriptures,such as the "thar mdo","lam rim",and "vphags pa bzang bo sphyod pavi smon lam gyi rgyal po" and other scriptures.Tibetan areas are all referred to as "Amchod".In the word "Amchod","Ang" refers to a monk or monk,and "chod" refers to offering and offering.Therefore,the word "Amchod" means offering or offering a monk.In addition,there is no big difference between "Amchod" and ordinary monks.The word "Amchod" is not a special title for a certain kind of monks,but a kind of honorific title for the monks who believe they can recite scriptures for the living and the dead.The inheritance of "Amchod" not only provides a strong argument for the history of the integration and absorption of various religious sects’ cultures,but also protects and inherits the Tibetan traditional culture,making an important contribution to the long history of Tibetan culture and the splendor of China’s excellent traditional culture.However,at present,few scholars have explored the historical origin,social characteristics and functions,text,social relations and other aspects of "Amchod".Based on the current situation and problems,the author discusses the relevant contents through the combination of field investigation and literature.On the whole,the article is divided into four chapters to discuss the characteristics and functions of the "Amchod" in the Dajiang Temple in Regong.The introduction mainly discusses the research background,research focus and difficulties,research status,research ideas and methods.The first chapter explains the appellation and origin of the word "Amchod",and introduces the history and current situation of the Dagong Dajiang Temple in the field in detail.The second chapter answers the question of what Sutra "Amchod" is reading by describing the type,source and collection of "Amchod" text.The third chapter mainly expounds the characteristics,social relations and the relationship with the "Lama" and "Russia and Pakistan" of the "Amchod" in the Dagong Monastery,and analyzes the characteristics of the "Angche" itself and the situation of social exchanges.The fourth chapter discusses the social function of "Amchod" in Dagong Monastery from the perspective of anthropology and ethnology,and tries to answer the function and value of "Amchod" in real society.Finally,the author believes that "Amchod" is a living culture of "benzene in the Buddha,and Buddha in the benzene",especially the long history of "Amchod" inheritance,and the rich cultural heritage of the Tibetan people,which has provided the internal impetus for "Amchod" inheritance so far.I hope to arouse people’s understanding and understanding of "Amchod" through the discussion of "Amchod" in Dagong Dajiang Temple in Regong,and take this as a breakthrough to further improve and fill the relationship between the temple and its surrounding believers.
