Vloga religije v historičnem razvoju Tibeta

V diplomskem delu sem preučeval vlogo religije v historičnem razvoju Tibeta. Preučevanje sem začel z orisom tradicionalne teokratične tibetanske družbe, njenih temeljnih institucij in slojev ter nadaljeval z zgodovinskim razvojem Tibeta od 5. stoletja pred našim štetjem in naselitve prvih kultur znotraj tibetanskega geografskega območja, pa vse do prelomnega leta 1950. Omenjena letnica predstavlja leto kitajske komunistične okupacije, kateri sem v nadaljevanju posvetili posebno pozornost zaradi radikalnih posegov in sprememb znotraj tradicionalne tibetanske družbene ureditve, ki je od omenjenega leta dalje podvržena intenzivnim reformam z namenom modernizacije in zamejitvije vpliva religije. Z neposrednim napadom na religijo, njene institucije in vpliv v družbi ter vsakdanjem življenju, Kitajska spreminja tibetansko kulturo in etnično identiteto. V zadnjem poglavju sem zato pozornost namenil tudi vprašanju Tibeta v prihodnosti. V zaključku ugotavljam, da je aktualni tibetansko-kitajski konflikt v svojem temelju historični konflikt, saj njegovi zametki segajo daleč v zgodovino, vendar pa je svojevrsten, saj kitajska komunistična oblast ne priznava tibetanske tradicionalne, na načelih tibetanskega budizma utemeljene zasebne in javne družbene sfere, ki si jo poskuša podjarmiti tudi na silo. Ključni doprinos pa gre aktualnemu Dalajlami, ki iz izgnanstva skuša zagotoviti mirno razrešitev konflikta in vprašanja tibetanske prihodnosti.

Izvleček

In this dissertation, the role of the religion in the historical development of Tibet is studied. The research starts by outlining the traditional theocratic Tibetan society, its basic institutions, and social stratification, and continues with the overview of the historical development of the region, from the time of the first cultures settling within the Tibetan geographical area in the 5th century BC until the Chinese Communist occupation in 1950. The latter is a subject of particular attention, due to its radical intervention and changes within the traditional Tibetan society which has since seen intensive reforms driven by the efforts of modernization and curbing the influence of the religion. With a direct attack on Tibetan religion, its institutions and influence in the society and everyday life, China is increasingly changing the Tibetan culture and ethnic identity. Therefore, the last chapter is also devoted to the issue of Tibet in the future. In conclusion, it is discussed that despite the fact that it originates from historical factors, the current Tibetan-Chinese conflict is somewhat peculiar. This peculiarity is based on the fact that the renunciation of Tibetan culture, based on the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, and justified private and institutional distinctiveness, by the Chinese authorities, often results in forceful subjugation. On the other hand, the key contribution to the relatively stabilized conditions goes to the current Dalai Lama, who, from exile, seeks to ensure a peaceful resolution of the conflict and the question of the Tibetan future.
