词源 | Lama; Dalai Lama. The Buddhist priest of Tibet and Mon- golia takes his name from the Tibetan blama (with a silent b), which derives from bla, superior, or spiritual teacher. The Dalai Lama is the highest priest of the Lamaist religion and is named dalai (ocean) because he is known as the ocean of compassion. He is also called the Grand Lama or Sacred Lama. In 1959, the current Dalai Lama fled from China to India; 30 years later he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It is said that when a Dalai Lama dies, he reappears as a child. |
