台南重慶寺的發展歷程與南台灣藏傳佛教發展關係研究

重慶寺始建於清代，由一般的民間寺廟發展為清末民防組織──八吉境裡的一座聯境寺廟，如今已轉為藏密白教貢噶老人南部道場。無論寺廟建築、祀奉對象、活動範圍和社會功能等，重慶寺都隨著台灣政權和社會經濟文化的轉變而調整，這種不斷轉型求生的生命力，也是它日後所以成為南台灣藏傳佛教發展依據的重要因素，因此，觀察重慶寺的發展歷程，不僅有助於瞭解台灣寺廟的演變類型，就宗教發展史而言，亦有詳實記載之價值。本文以重慶寺在不同歷史階段的政權、經濟和文化影響下，寺廟的發展和信仰的轉變為觀察，蒐集方志、寺廟台帳、寺廟文宣及日治時期的報紙《漢文台灣日日新報》等相關資料，並透過田野調查和深度訪談，來整理重慶寺的發展歷程與特質，記錄和分析它與南台灣藏傳佛教的發展關係，以發掘重慶寺在台灣宗教史上的的影響和價值。

Chongqing Temple was built in the Qing Dynasty. It was originally a local public temple, and at the end of Qing Dynasty, it became a civilian defensive organization, a multi-neighborhood temple in the Baji area in Tainan. At present, it belongs to the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and is the southern affiliate temple belonging to Ven. Gongga. Regarding religious members, ritual activities and social functions, Chongqing Temple has adapted itself on the basis of developments in Taiwan's political regime as well as cultural and economic changes in Taiwan's society. This continuous vitality is a factor in its importance as a major center of Tibetan Buddhism in southern Taiwan. Therefore, by observing Chongqing Temple's developmental process, we can understand various stages in the evolution of Taiwanese temples. In terms of religious history, it is a source of valuable documentary information. ＂ This paper looks at both the internal developments and changes in religious orientation of Chongqing Temple under different stages of political, economic, and political influence. It relies on local gazetteers, temple pamphlets, and temple publications, as well as field research with in-depth interviews to sort out the temple's stages of development and define their characteristics. It describes and analyzes the relation between that development and the development of Tibetan Buddhism in southern Taiwan, bringing to light the historical importance of Chongqing Temple.
