藏傳佛教寺院的供養結構 ── 雲南德欽噶丹．羊八景林寺的個案分析=The Economic Support Structure of Tibetan Buddhism Temple: A Case Study of Ganden Yangcan Phuntshogling Monastery in Deqin County, Yunnan Province
Historically, Tibetan Buddhist temples obtained their economic support mainly from the primary distribution and redistribution of the national revenue. Unlike that of the Tibetan local government and the Tibetan secular aristocracy, the economic support structure of Tibetan Buddhist temples displayed a flexible and voluntary form under the influence of the Tibetan Buddhist cosmology. In the contemporary era, Tibetan Buddhist temples, such as Ganden Yangcan Phuntshogling monastery in Deqin county, Yunnan province, made their income completely from the redistribution of the national revenue, showing a relatively more intense and deep religious complex and belief foundation. The economic support of the monastery was directly related to the daily life, cultural environment, and religious structure of the local society, also reflected the evolution of Tibetan social structure.
