Historical Fragments of Lha btsun, Master of Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism in the 13th–14th Century 13–14世紀藏傳佛教薩迦派合尊大師遺事考辦

南宋少帝趙㬎究竟是死在哪一年？怎樣死的？死在甚麽地方？史料上無跡可尋，甚至成為明清之間一樁疑案，引起種種傳說，甚至包括元順帝即實為其子這樣傳奇的說法。本次講座經過進行漢、藏兩種文字史料的對勘，詳細論證展示了趙㬎從南宋少帝到元朝瀛國公再到藏傳佛教薩迦派合尊大師的經歷，同時通過梳理了各種相關傳說的發展和演變，探討其來由及其真實性。

How Zhao Xian, the second last Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty ended up had remained a myth for centuries. As there were hardly any historical records clearly documented when, where and how he did, controversies and even legendary talks were generated around this topic among scholars of the Ming and the Qing Dynasties. The most peculiar one claimed him the biological father of the Mongolian Ukhaantu Khan, Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty. This lecture looks into the historical documents in both Chinese and Tibetan to recover the whole story in which a child emperor of the Song firstly became the Duke Yingguo of the Yuan and later the monk Lha btsun of the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism. Relevant legends are also discussed in terms of their origin, development and authenticity.
