西藏在民主改革前,是一个政教合一的封建农奴制社会。寺院遍地都是,僧侣尼姑占总人口十分之一以上。西藏地方政府400来名正式官员中,一半以上是僧人。而且在同级官员中,一般都设僧俗两官,僧官的职权地位通常都高于俗官。于是外界有许多人都想当然地以为,在西藏出家当喇嘛的人,一定就算迈入了“领导阶级”队伍;喇嘛们都要学经,“学而优则仕”,象古代 Before the democratic reform, Tibet was a feudal serfdom society in which religion and religion were united. Monasteries are everywhere, Monks Nun accounted for more than one tenth of the total population. More than half of the 400 official officials in Tibet’s local government are monks. Moreover, among the officials at the same level, monks and lay officers are generally established, and the monastic officials are generally superior to the ordinary officials. So many people in the outside world take it for granted that those who became monks and monks in Tibet must have entered the “leadership class.” The monks have to learn from the Scriptures.
