➤➤講題：法螺的奇幻之旅—從18世紀末迄今 The Fantastic Journey of a Conch Shell (from the end of the 18th c. to today)
▌講座簡介：為了慶賀乾隆皇帝（1736-1796在位）七十大壽，六世班禪喇嘛（1738-1781）於1780年赴北京的滿清宮廷。他授予乾隆皇帝大黑天和勝樂金剛的灌頂，同時帶來許多禮物，其中的法螺，在當時非常具有精神上與政治上的重要性，時至今日仍然如此。本次的演講將著眼於此法螺的用途與命運。
首先，我將關注法螺的起源、其儀式上的重要性、以及藏族和滿族認為它所具有的力量；其次，我將論證其流傳作為班禪喇嘛與乾隆皇帝之師徒關係的表徵、宗教物件在西藏—中國雙向間作為禮物交換的重要性、以及賜予禮物成為乾隆皇帝遙控西藏、並顯露他對藏傳佛教感興趣的一種方法。
The 6th Panchen Lama (1738-1781) visited the Manchu court in Peking for the seventieth birthday of the Qianlong emperor (reign: 1736-1796) in 1780. He granted Qianlong the Mahakala and Cakrasamvara initiations. He came with many gifts and the conch shell he offered to the Manchu Emperor gained a lot of spiritual and political importance at the time and still does today. The use and the fate of this conch shell is what I will talk about.
First, I will focus on the conch shell origins, its ritual importance and its supposed powers for Tibetans and for Manchus as well. Then, I will argue about its circulation as the mark of the master-disciple relationship that link the Panchen Lama and the Qianlong Emperor, the importance of the gifts exchanges from Tibet to China and vice versa for religious objects circulation, and the way gifts giving could have been a way for Qianlong to control Tibetan authorities from afar and to show his interest in Tibetan Buddhism.
