The Culture View Reflected from the Time Units of Tibetan Calendar
The paper focuses on the oriental culture view by discussing the time units of dbugs,tshes-zhag and bskal-pa in the Tibetan calendar,and the life circles of them.It is noted that the time division in the Tibetan cal-endar not only originates from several Indian astronomical concepts,but also has certain shared features with the Babylonian astronomy by comparing the time structure which consists of dbugs,chu-tshod and chu-srang.There's a kind of implicit logic of oriental wisdom in the time structure of both the minimum period or the maxi-mum period.Namely,the universe is a complete living being,furthermore,and the rhythm of life of macrocosm is in sync with of microcosm.It is somewhat obvious that the distinct structural features of dualism,such as up and down,heavenly body and human body,day and night,the solar day and the lunar day,the maxing moon,and the waning moon and so on.It is the representation of the epoch at the level of significance,from the case of the Yuga number model and the various non-human life cycles in the Tibetan Buddhism.
