第三代ダライラマとアルタンハンの會見について

Abstract

In this paper, l have tried to clarify the following points : 1. Altan became a follower of Tibetan Buddhism already in 1571. 2. The meeting place of the Dalai Lama and Altan was Cabciyal (in. modern Gonghe 共和 district in Qinghai 青海 province). 3. Secen qong tayiji made Altan come to Qinghai on the pretext of receiving the Living Buddha (Dalai Lama). 4. Altan stopped fighting and left making use of the Dalai's advice for discontinuance of the battle. 5. Aiming at ensuring the Kokonor region (Qinghai), Altan met the Dalai Lama in 1578. He accomplished his aim. 6. The Dalai Lama succeeded in winning Altan, who was then the most powerful man in the northen regions, as the great patron 大檀越 of Dge lugs pa. 7. Due to the meeting of the two, Tibetan Buddhism was greatly accepted all over Mongolia ; all the more so, because the traditional pantheistic beliefs of the Mongolian tribes were easily compatible with the equally pantheistic Tibetan form of Buddhism.
