民國藏事檔案解讀之一──《西藏駐京堪布貢覺仲尼為報到并呈履歷事致蒙藏院呈》

An Annotation of the File about Gung-jue-zhung-ni

本文主要在討論貢覺仲尼的名字與職務。我們有幾項討論：一、貢覺仲尼在色拉寺出家，最後卻得到哲棒寺「哲仁巴」的名號，也即是藏文的vbras-rab-ba。其後他在三十歲時（1914）考取了「拉仁巴格西」（藏文為lha-rams-pa），這是格魯派學經僧人在顯宗方面所能取得的最高的學位。五年後也即是一九一九年，當上了色拉寺的大「格斯貴」dge-skos。二、關於他的名字「貢覺仲尼」的討論： 它可能是dkon-mchog-mgron-gnyer，這裡的dkon-mchog 意為「珍寶」、「三寶」，是藏族人常用的名字，mgron-gnyer是一個職務的稱呼。另一個可能是dkon-mchog-vbyung-gnas，意譯為「寶生」，這是一個常見的西藏佛教僧人的名字。依據貢覺仲尼的本人的經歷，我們認為他的名字應該是藏文的dkon-mchog-vbyung-gnas的對音。

This article discusses the name and job title of gung-jue-zhung-ni. We have some points:1. gung-jue-zhung-ni was ordained in se-la temple, but he received the vbras-rab-ba title from zhe-bang monastery. In 1914 he received the lha-rams-pa title which is the highest academic title that a dge-lugs-pa monk can reach. In 1919 he was on the position of dge-skos of the se-ra monastery.2. Disscusion about his name ''gung-jue-zhung-ni'': it could be dkon-mchog-mgron-gnyer. dkon-mchog means ''precious'' or ''three-precious'', which is popularly used as a name among Tibetans. mgron-gnyer is a job-title. It also could be dkon-mchog-vbyung-gnas, which means ''preciously born'', is also a popularly used name by the monks. We believe that the correct spelling of his name should be dkon-mchog-vbyung-gnas according to his resume.
