詹杜固仁波切与梭巴仁波切在高班寺的动人经历(1987年)

Venerable Lama Zopa in front of Kopan's 1000-Armed Chenrezig statue. I was in Nepal when received this initiation from Lama Zopa in 1987, after I had received ordination vows from His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, North India.

尊贵的梭巴仁波切端坐在高班寺内的千手观音像前。1987年,詹杜固仁波切在北印度达兰萨拉接受达赖尊者传授比丘戒后,于尼泊尔期间接受梭巴仁波切的
千手观音灌顶。

众所周知,我在美国的时候就曾与第十四世达赖尊者会面,并在那时请求他为我剃度。达赖尊者是如此地亲切,他对我说:“你想成为一名僧人吗?”我回他说:“是的”。达赖尊者接着说:“没问题,你来印度吧。”于是,在1987年10月左右,我便动身前往印度了。

我离开美国,来到德里,随后再从德里出发,前往达兰萨拉。赴达兰萨拉需乘坐夜班车,车程约14至16个小时,取决于路上的天气。甘丹萨济寺在达兰萨拉拥有一座祈愿堂和宾馆,由于我即将成为甘丹萨济寺的僧人,所以我在达兰萨拉期间可以费用全免地居住在甘丹萨济寺的宾馆。那里的僧人很和蔼可亲,他们免费接待了我两个月,包括提供食物和一切。一切就绪后,我就前往达赖尊者的私人办公室(藏语: Kukey Yiktsang)登记受戒为僧,并告知他们达赖尊者对我说的话。当时,达赖尊者虽然已经是一位大师,但名气却还不那么大。因此,想要与达赖尊者会面,甚至径直走到其私人办公室也都是一件轻而易举的事。

When I was in the USA, I requested His Holiness the Dalai Lama for ordination and he agreed. Somehow, someone was able to capture this moment on film which you can watch here.

詹杜固仁波切在美国时曾请求达赖尊者为他剃度,尊者也同意了。当时有人将这一幕摄下,你可在这里观看视频

于是,我前往离甘丹萨济寺的宾馆大约20分钟步行路程的达赖尊者私人办公室,向他们登记受戒为僧,他们说:“没问题,没问题。”并接着说:“好吧,既然你想成为一名僧人,况且还获得了达赖尊者的邀请,这当然没问题。”他们甚至没有质疑我的话是否可信,因为……我的意思是有多少人想要成为僧人呢,对不对?答案显而易见。不管怎样,我告诉他们达赖尊者是这么对我说的。他们回我说:“好吧,授仪式的规矩是一次授予三个人,你不能指望达赖尊者专为一个人进行整个仪式。无论如何,规矩就是一场仪式三个人,所以你得找到另外两个想受戒为僧的人。你们三个完成登记后,将有幸获得达赖尊者为你们进行整个仪式,因为他曾对你作出承诺。”哇,这实在令人难以置信!

达赖尊者位于北印度达兰萨拉的家。

我“哇”了两声。你能想象吗?达赖尊者要授戒予我呢!但另一个“哇”则是“哇,我怎么才能找到另外两个要成为僧人的人呢?”于是,我站在达赖尊者的宫殿前抓耳挠腮,心想:“现在我要到哪里访寻另外两个人呢?”我开始在宫殿外徘徊,询问周遭的人:“你知道谁想出家吗?你知道有谁想受戒为僧吗?”然后,我再向僧人们询问:“你知道有谁想成为僧人吗?”僧人们将此话传开,还真起了作用!这方法果然奏效!

有人走过来说道:“好啊!这里其实有一个人刚好想要出家,更何况是由达赖尊者亲自授戒,何乐而不为?”随后,达赖尊者办公室的工作人员告知我,有另一个人向他们登记受戒为僧,所以我们总算凑足了三个人。这第三个人是在达赖尊者办公室登记的。我想这一切并非偶然。这并不像:“哦,我们去烧烤吧,然后我今晚就出家为僧。”我的意思是,竟然那么巧刚好有人想成为僧人,而且就只差一个受戒仪式。无论如何,我们总算凑齐三个人了。

图为帮助詹杜固仁波切准备其受戒仪式的尊贵的桑藏仁波切。
桑藏仁波切和当时许多高僧大德一样,是一位虔诚的多杰雄登
行者。

在达兰萨拉有一位仁波切,他是格西簇亲格尔辛的朋友。抱歉,他其实是嘉杰宋仁波切侍者的朋友,名为库梭桑藏仁波切。格西簇亲格尔辛给他写了一封信,将我介绍予他。库梭桑藏仁波切是一位学识渊博、谦卑有礼、平易近人,总是笑颜迎人却很机敏的仁波切。他居住在达兰萨拉,并在西藏档案文献图书馆工作。这位在达赖尊者图书馆工作的仁波切十分友善,当他知道我要受戒为僧时,就亲自带我去印度商人聚集的下达兰萨拉为我购买僧袍。他带我去找裁缝帮我缝制僧袍,因为他知道该做些什么。大致来说,他为我准备了成为一名僧人所需的一切。

当受戒为僧之日来临之际,我不得不将我所有的头发剪掉,只留下一些,最后僧人们再将剩余的头发都剃掉。然后,我穿着僧袍(出发时必须身着僧袍)行走时还被僧袍给绊倒,摔了个四脚朝天,因为我走路时不时会踩到僧袍。那天早上,我花了15分钟才把僧袍穿上,因为我不懂如何折叠僧袍。我将僧袍折叠、打开,一直重复以上的动作。僧人们都嘲笑我,因为我不会穿僧袍。而且你知道吗?如果你穿错了,你就会摔倒,(僧袍掉了)身上就只剩下内裤。无论如何,15分钟后我终于找出穿上僧袍的方法了。接下来的两周,我每天都需花15分钟来穿僧袍,但现在我只用30秒就能完成了。

In Los Angeles, I promised His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche that I would become a monk. To show that he accepted my promise, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche symbolically cut a lock of my hair. Many years later, His Holiness the Dalai Lama would do something similar during the ordination ceremony (snipping off the remaining strands of hair on my head).

詹杜固仁波切在洛杉矶向至尊嘉杰宋仁波切承诺,他将受戒为僧。宋仁波切象征性地剪了詹杜固仁波切的一绺头发,表示他已接受詹杜固仁波切的承诺。多年后,达赖尊者也在授戒仪式上做了类似的事情——剪掉詹杜固仁波切头上剩余的头发。

接下来,我站在达赖尊者跟前接受比丘戒。达赖尊者亲自为我剪头发,并将头发放在盘子里。尊者还为我取法名为丹增梭巴。整个授戒仪式花了大约两个半至三个小时。我感到雀跃不已,因为我终于梦想成真了。我先将此话题搁下……我的意思是仪式中还有许多活动,但我将在另一篇博文中再详细描述。

当我与达赖尊者踏出授戒大殿时……该寺的住持是至尊嘉杰丹玛洛措仁波切,后期我在他座下得到许多教诲。当我走出大殿的时候,我的另一位仁波切朋友在殿外迎接我,他的名字是萨巴仁波切。其他僧人们都有家人、父母在殿外迎接他们,为他们供养哈达。他们都很高兴,且为之随喜。我却孑然一身,这对我来说有点伤感,因为我的父母都不支持我,但其他新僧人的家人们都支持他们的决定。这令我感到有点落寞,但我对自己说:“这并不重要,因为我是来修习佛法的。”

故此,当我受戒为僧后,我十分高兴。为了出家,我努力了许多年。多年来离家出走、被父母殴打、行动受限,以及在洛杉矶奋斗的日子,这一切的努力最终使我成为一名僧人。这是我必须独自一人去经历的旅程。仪式结束后,我必须到尼泊尔处理一些工作。当我在达兰萨拉时,我缝制了一顶班禅索南扎巴帽作为礼物送给格西蔟亲格尔辛,他很高兴。这里有一张格西蔟亲格尔辛头戴这顶帽子的照片。那是我为了感谢他答允我受戒为僧,并为我妥善安排好一切而送他的谢礼。

格西拉为我在德里和达兰萨拉的一切都做了妥善的安排,让人们协助我受戒为僧。他为我安排好一切。没有格西拉,就不会有那么多扇大门为我敞开。当我前往尼泊尔时,身上带着格西蔟亲格尔辛写给桑登林寺的格西桑东的信。正因如此,桑登林寺的大门也为我而开,我还获得了费用全免的房间、食物等一切。这种种待遇都是多亏了格西拉写给他们的信。我在桑登林寺居住了两个月,除了处理一些工作,我也想去朝圣。这之后我就要回到甘丹寺,并正式加入甘丹寺。正如我曾告诉你们的,我在那里遇见了刚坚仁波切。虽然那一次我的朋友没有把我带到刚坚仁波切处,让我感到很是沮丧,但我最终还是找到办法得以一见刚坚仁波切。与刚坚仁波切的会面并不令我沮丧,但在那之前的一切都十分令人沮丧。不管怎样,我们暂时不谈论这些。

Samtenling Monastery where I stayed for two months, just 10 seconds away from the famous Boudha Stupa

詹杜固仁波切曾留宿两个月的桑登林寺,离闻名遐迩的博达哈大佛塔只有
十秒之遥。

在尼泊尔的两个月期间,由于结识了该寺的僧人,因此我有机会参观所有圣地。当时,那所寺院修持多杰雄登。他们每天都进行多杰雄登法会,所以我常去做供养和参加法会等。该寺距离博达哈大佛塔只有十秒钟的步行路程,可谓近在咫尺。1987年真是一段美好的时光。尼泊尔是一个非常殊胜且纯朴的地方,四处都有许多背包客、僧人、僧尼、寺院及庙宇——这些是你们都知道的,毕竟你们都曾到过那里。那真是一个不可思议的地方。试想一下,从新泽西州豪威尔到所多玛和蛾摩拉(又名洛杉矶),而我现在正身处香格里拉——博达哈大佛塔、所有寺院和僧人之中。我所到之处都有弥勒像、佛像观音菩萨像酥油灯、熏香、煨桑、猴子、僧人、祖古、僧尼、禅定者、修行者及大成就者等,他们无所不在。你能想象我在尼泊尔的模样吗?我当时就想:“天哪,我回家了。”对我来说,这真是个难以置信的时刻。

此图显示了博达哈大佛塔四周的所有寺院与庙宇。正如你所见,图中以黄色圈起来的地方正是桑登林寺,与大佛塔十分靠近。

最美好的是我遇到了许许多多的金刚瑜伽母隐士,他们一生都在修行金刚瑜伽母禅定。这也意味着他们从未走出他们的闭关地,终其一生都在入定,我遇到的都是这些人。然后我在那个时候遇到了嘉杰刚坚仁波切。我很荣幸能到他家里拜见他,并在他座下接受教导、口传、加持和建议。我也很幸运,因为1987年我在尼泊尔的时候,梭巴仁波切也来到了高班寺。梭巴仁波切到访高班寺期间,我也恰好曾拜访高班寺。我听闻梭巴仁波切要在高班寺传授千手观音灌顶,这让我感到雀跃不已。第一,我想得到千手观音的修持法门,因为我敬爱观音菩萨;第二,梭巴仁波切是一位伟大的僧人;第三,灌顶仪式在高班寺进行,而我正身处加德满都。哇!我的意思是,这太不可思议了。你能想象那个新泽西州的我此刻就在这里吗?我实在太高兴了。

Zopa Rinpoche, also known as Lama Zopa, was giving 1000-Armed Avalokiteshvara initiation in Kopan Monastery in 1987

1987年,梭巴仁波切(又名梭巴喇嘛)在高班寺传授千手观音灌顶。

那时,我是这么做的。如果我没记错的话,灌顶仪式是晚上八点左右。从博达哈大佛塔前往高班寺共有两个路线。你可以走出寺院,沿着小路行走,接着再走上另一条路。大约步行半个小时后,你又走上另一条路,随后向右转,再走上高班寺。这是一个一个半小时至一小时四十五分钟左右的步行路程。要前往高班寺非常困难,因为路程多为泥路和山路。因此,你需要……出租车只能行驶一段路,而剩下的路程你必须步行。另一条路线是,你从博达哈大佛塔出来,乘坐出租车沿着主干道行驶,再驶向……抵达泥路时,出租车只能行驶一段路,接下来你就得步行。无论哪种方式,你都得步行一段路。如果你乘坐出租车通过主干道前往高班寺,以那个时代的汽车而言,大概需要一个小时车程。如果你选择走小路,大约需要两到两个半小时。由于那时我还年轻力壮,所以可以走得很快。

无论如何,你在晚上是无法找到出租车的,因为他们不会到那里去。晚上八点,天色已暗。因此,我找不到出租车。我买了大约四五公斤的水果,身上带着仪轨法本、佛书,还穿着僧袍。我把所有东西都往身上背。我有一个背包,我把所有东西都放在我的背包里,穿着僧袍,带着背包打小路而行。当我穿过博达哈大佛塔时,四周还有灯光,但当我走到通往高班寺的泥路时,那里已是一片漆黑。我基本上是在一片黑暗中行走,只有在往山上看时,才会看到远处点点的小光团。那些并不是能量光球,而是从许多窗户射出的微光。我只需要沿着这些灯光走,因为那里就只有一条路。于是我继续往前走,在一片漆黑中往山上走去。

As you can see, beautiful Kopan Monastery is on quite a high hill and due to my making a wrong turn when I went there for initiation, I ended up having to scale a cliff to get to the monastery. It was worth it though because I was able to receive the 1000-Armed Chenrezig initiation from Venerable Zopa Rinpoche.

如你所见,美丽的高班寺坐落在高山之上。由于詹杜固仁波切前去灌顶时拐错方向,他最后不得不攀上悬崖才能到达寺院。即便如此,对詹杜固仁波切而言,那还是值得的,因为他终于得以从尊贵的梭巴仁波切处接受千手观音灌顶。天道酬勤,我们必须为得到佛法、实修佛法而付出巨大的努力

当我走在通往高班寺的最后一段路时,由于天色昏暗,我拐错了方向。毫不夸张,我几乎都是伸展双手向前摸索着前进的。四周无人,甚至一条狗都没有。当时天色一片漆黑,当我走到最后一段路时,我转错了方向而来到悬崖边。悬崖顶上就是高班寺了。我眼前是一片垂直陡峭的悬崖……我站在悬崖下,摸黑攀了上去。接着,我先把背包扔过去,接着自己再翻身过去。当我攀越悬崖抵达山上时,我看到了灯光,那就是高班寺。我在黑暗中花了三个小时才走到高班寺。当时天寒地冻,我却满头大汗,指甲也因攀爬峭壁而沾满了污垢。我双脚肿胀,饥渴交加尿急,还冷得瑟瑟发抖,但这种种都无法阻止前进,我一点也不感到气馁。拐错方向的确让我有少许挫败感,但一想到即将接受灌顶,却让我十分雀跃。晚上七点三十分至四十五分左右,我终于抵达高班寺。一到那里,我向僧人们询问:“卫生间在哪?”就直接跑到卫生间,稍作清洗,因为我不想脏兮兮地去参加灌顶仪式。1987年的时候,由于高班寺的大殿还很小,僧人们在外面搭起了一个大帐篷,以容纳预计前来参加灌顶的150至200人。僧人们在蓬内为梭巴仁波切准备法座,而我们将席地而坐。帐篷里设有地毯,很舒适,但依然很冷。

The grounds of Kopan Monastery are quite beautiful. To accommodate for all the initiates, a tent was pitched in the grounds of the monastery.

高班寺山明水秀,环境优美。为了容纳所有前来接受灌顶的人们,僧人们在寺院的空地上搭起了帐篷。

梭巴仁波切更换行程,改在凌晨一点才现身。灌顶仪式本应在晚上八点开始,但梭巴仁波切直到凌晨一点才出现。我们从八点开始就在帐篷里等待着梭巴仁波切的到来,等了六个小时左右。于是,我和那里的一些学生交谈,他们说:“哦,这很平常。” 我问:“平常指的是什么?”他们解释说:“梭巴仁波切更换时间表是很平常的事。”我说:“哦,好吧。”因为格西拉不是这样的人。格西拉若告诉你八点,就是洛杉矶时间八点正。因此,我在洛杉矶的图登达杰林佛教中心时所习惯的是,如果我们的上师格西拉说是八点,那就是八点。他顶多也就迟了五到十分钟,但梭巴仁波切却迟了整整六个小时。我强调,我当时并没有负面的想法,我并没有生气或其他的。我只是饿了,我饿坏了。我没有茶或任何饮料可喝,身体还在瑟瑟发抖。我说:“不要紧,这都是为了灌顶。”我对自己说:“为了观音菩萨,这是值得的。”凌晨一点左右,他们宣布梭巴仁波切快到了,我十分兴奋,我太高兴了。梭巴仁波切抵达会场,坐上法座之后,开始教授无常和皈依,接着进行灌顶。

Before everyone could drink their tea, Lama Zopa recited offering prayers, similar to what is pictured here.

类似图中所示,梭巴仁波切在大家喝茶之前,先持诵餐前供养文。

如果我没记错的话,灌顶仪式大约在凌晨四五点结束。我一整天都没休息,还爬了一整夜的山。凌晨三点左右,有一个小休时间,他们要给所有的灌顶者送上热气腾腾的藏茶。试想一下,你都快冻死了,而且至今连一口水都还没喝过,那时你眼中就只有那杯藏茶。在平日,人们给你藏茶时,由于那是由茶、黄油、盐和牛奶混合而成的,你也许会说:“真恶心!这太浓了,简直就像汤一样,对吧?”但那时的我却是迫不及待想要它。当他们给我们送上藏茶时,我说:“我没有杯子。”僧人们回说:“别担心,我们会给你一个杯子。”于是,我拿了个杯子,让僧人们给我的杯子盛满热气腾腾的藏茶。看到漂在上面的黄油,我忍不住咽口水,但还是必须等梭巴仁波切先做供养。

因此,梭巴仁波切……轮到僧人为我倒茶的时候,茶已经开始转温了,毕竟他们必须要为一百至两百人倒茶,对吧?待每个人都拿到各自的茶后,梭巴仁波切说他要做供养。于是他向着空中高举茶杯,念诵了一大串祈愿文,约花了三四分钟时间,而我则是盯着热气腾腾的茶,心想:“我觉得诸佛应该并不口渴,我们能不能直接把茶喝了?” 在梭巴仁波切完成供养后,我的意思是他真是个伟大的僧人,所以在他完成供养后,我们终于可以喝茶了。在我的记忆中,没有什么茶比这杯茶来得更美味了。

我喝了那杯茶,而且如果我没记错的话,他们也给了我一点面包补充营养。茶歇过后,梭巴仁波切继续进行灌顶。典型的西藏寺院并不设上厕所的时间。有时你必须憋着,连续六至八个小时不得上厕所。我并不是在开玩笑。因为你一旦上厕所,就会错过灌顶,这也意味着你没有得到完整的灌顶。因此,那些每小时都需要上一次厕所的人,最好找个捷径。我曾参加过一场开示,期间整整12个小时都不能上厕所。即使想上厕所,你也得憋着。你必须学习如何憋着,过了一段时间,你就会对自己的膀胱说:“你必须听我的,别指望我听你的。”

Many years later in Malaysia with Zopa Rinpoche, who is also known as Lama Zopa.

多年后,詹杜固仁波切与梭巴仁波切(又称梭巴喇嘛)在马来西亚会面。在西藏领导层不道德地禁止多杰雄登修持之前,每当梭巴仁波切身处新加坡或马来西亚时,他都会联系詹杜固仁波切安排会面。詹杜固仁波切虽有些害羞,却又很高兴能与梭巴仁波切见面,因为他对梭巴仁波切怀有巨大的信心。詹杜固仁波切经常希望有一天,在为时未晚之前能再度与梭巴仁波切见面,并重新建立他们在修行上的关系。他说他相信梭巴仁波切能为他说明一些有关密续经典上的疑问。

话说回来……这是一个殊胜的开示。仪式在凌晨四五点左右结束,而我也得到了完整的灌顶。直到今天,我一直都坚持修持这个法门,一次也没错过。灌顶仪式结束之后,我心想“好吧,现在我要走下山了。这将是三到四个小时的路程。我回到寺院时,应该是早上七八点了吧?”好的方面是当我抵达寺院时,天已经亮了;不好的是,我走到半路的时候,周围又将是一片漆黑,希望我不会摔倒。那里没有出租车、没有汽车,什么都没有。

高班寺有招待所和图书馆之类的地方,但都被预订了。所以我跟大伙都在收拾各自的东西。我当时还很年轻且身无分文,所以我想:“天哪,我是不是该在外面找个地方睡?还是要步行回去?我该怎么办?”当我这样想的时候,梭巴仁波切向我示意。他在法座上向我示意说:“到我这里来。”我走前去,问道:“我吗?”我的意思是,我不认识他。我走到他跟前,他对我说:“你今晚要住在哪里?” 我说:“我无处可待,正想步行回去。”他说:“去哪里?” 我回他说:“回博达哈大佛塔。”他接着说:“那太远了。”我说:“我知道,但这里没有招待所。”他说:“别担心,我会为你安排。”

天哪,我太感动了。在两百个人之中,他怎么知道我无处可待?他为什么叫我?我的意思是,我身上并没有挂着一个“请提供我免费住宿”的标志牌,对吧?但他却跟我说了那些话。我于是双手合十,对他说:“衷心感谢您。”

The famous Boudha Stupa. I stayed in Samtenling Monastery, which was just 10 seconds away from this beautiful stupa. Kopan Monastery itself was a few hours' walk away in the hills but after the initiation, I was going to walk back to Samtenling, until Lama Zopa kindly intervened.

图为闻名遐迩的博达哈大佛塔。詹杜固仁波切居住在离这座美丽的佛塔只有十秒之遥的桑登林寺,而高班寺却坐落在离此几小时步行路程的山上。在完成灌顶后,詹杜固仁波切原本打算步行返回桑登林寺,梭巴仁波切却善意地让他留下来。

一名僧人把我带到高班寺的图书馆,馆内还有另外50个人,各自拥有自己的睡袋。他说:“我们没有房间了,今晚你就在这打地铺吧,这样也温暖些。明天一早,你可以下楼吃早餐。”我说:“哦,太感谢您了。” 我很高兴能与来自世界各地的僧人和行者住在一起。我对他说:“我没有睡袋。”他说:“哦,梭巴仁波切已吩咐我们帮你准备了。”于是,他给了我毯子和枕头。我就睡在一张毛绒绒的藏式地毯上,还配有枕头和毯子,实在舒服惬意。

我因为太兴奋而无法入睡。能获得灌顶、与梭巴仁波切会面,加上每个人都那么友善,这些都让我感到雀跃不已。另外,我对于梭巴仁波切向我展示了他的神通,对于我所得到的那一杯茶、那一份免费早餐,以及一个留宿的地方都感到欣喜若狂。更令我高兴的是我不必连夜步行回博达哈大佛塔,因为那真是一段可怕的漫漫长路。如果遇上下雨,那就完了。我曾经步行到高班寺不下10至15次,遇上下雨时,只能冒雨踩着泥泞前进。

我无法入睡,因为我太高兴了。我在图书馆内环顾四周,兴奋得不能自己……因为他们售卖很多印着佛像的明信片,我想看看这些明星片,但那里没有灯,他们把灯都关了。于是,我一直等到第二天早上。晨光熹微,我立刻起床,那些西方人也起床了。他们有些在四处溜达,有些还在睡觉。我看着图书馆,看看那些明信片,也购买了一些明信片,我太高兴了。然后,我到楼下的厨房吃午餐……抱歉,是早餐。其中一个僧人告知我,梭巴仁波切将请大家吃一种藏语称为图帕的特制西藏汤面。我想:“哇,梭巴仁波切真是太好了。”于是,我决定留下来等午餐,等着吃西藏汤面。我并不是贪图免费的午餐,而是心想:“这是梭巴仁波切赐予的,有着他的加持。”我在高班寺的庭院和寺院周围游荡、到大殿去做供养,以及绕塔。那时耶喜喇嘛已经圆寂了。我和几个僧人交谈,然后一直待在图书馆里直至午餐时间。

Thukpa is a traditional Tibetan noodle soup. The lunch was delayed because Lama Zopa had done a divination and asked that the thukpa noodles be changed to a different shape, as it would be more auspicious for all of us.

图帕是藏族的传统汤面。由于梭巴仁波切透过占卜得知,若把面条改成不同的形状将对大家更为吉祥,所以午餐就延迟了。

午餐时间应该是在十二点至一点左右。我们应该在中午十二点或下午一点左右吃午餐。然而,我们收到了第二个通知——汤面将会延迟送上,因为梭巴仁波切经过占卜,得知面条的形状是错的。他们必须重新制作面条,换成一种新的形状,这将能给大家带来更多的吉祥和好运。我心想:“嗯,好吧。”于是,我们又等了两个半至三个小时,才等到全新制作的面条。梭巴仁波切透过占卜得知原本面条的形状对我们并不吉利,而他希望我们能享有最佳的西藏面条。我不知道他们怎么处理旧面条,只知道他们又制作了一批全新的面条。我向一名僧人询问……我到厨房去看看能否帮上些忙,环顾四周,只见他们都很开心地切着面条,把重新擀好的面团切成面条。我对他们说:“这真是个大工程。”但他们却说:“哦,这很平常。”我说:“这话怎么说?”他们回说:“梭巴仁波切往往在一切都已经准备就绪后临时改变菜单。”我问“他为什么要这么做?”我当时只是很好奇,并没有恶意。他回答说:“那是因为梭巴仁波切做了占卜,所以事情就会有变动。事情往往都会随着占卜结果而有所改变。”我恍然大悟说:“哦,原来如此!”

汤面出炉了,面条呈小领结状。我也拿到了我的一大碗汤面,真的很美味。我享用了汤面,却没有机会向梭巴仁波切致谢,因为他在会客室内。于是,我唯有走到他居住的寺院前,观想他在房间里,然后我双手合十,用心灵感应给他传递一条信息。我的意思是,我假装自己有“心灵感应”的能力,事实上我只是在心里说:“感谢您的灌顶,感谢您让我留宿,感谢您赐予我食物和汤面,我将会好好修持这个法门。”我如是观想并感谢他,然后就下山了。我很高兴地走下山,因为离开高班寺的时候大约是四五点,天色尚早,我悠闲地步行了约两个小时到两个半小时之间,便回到博达哈大佛塔。这次我并没有迷路。当我回到桑登林寺时,我的僧人朋友们都很担心,表情写着:“你怎么了?我们不知道你发生了什么事。”于是,我把经过都告诉他们,他们无不为我随喜。

这就是我冒险前往高班寺,并从梭巴仁波切座下接受千手观音灌顶的经过。那一次,我见识到了梭巴仁波切的善良和悲心,他不仅照顾他的每一个弟子,还照顾了素昧平生的人

His Eminence Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche whom I met in Nepal for the first time in 1987

1987年,詹杜固仁波切与尊贵的嘉杰刚坚仁波切在尼泊尔
初次会面。

1987年,我待在加德满都博达哈的两个到两个半月,是我一生中最美好、最神奇的时光之一。我参观了五处金刚瑜伽母圣地,其中有一个圣地不对外国人开放,但我却因为长得像藏人而成功偷溜了进去。我得以参观莲花生大师洞,以及许多殊胜的宁玛、噶举、萨迦、格鲁传承寺院。我也遇到了一两位终生入定、足不出户的隐士,并向他们做供养。此外,我还遇到了无数和蔼可亲、学识渊博的老僧人,他们充满了我们期待在老僧人身上看到的传统特质——慈悲心。

我有幸初次见到如嘉杰刚坚仁波切等的高僧大德,并接受他们的教诲。我与嘉杰刚坚仁波切在共度了许多时光——在他家闲逛、接受他的教诲、协助他、和他一同去购物,以及拜访他的上师。当时他在加德满都有一位上师,人称喀格西。那是因为喀格西的舌头上不时会出现一个“阿”字,所以当他伸出舌头的时候,人们就会看到一个清楚的藏文“阿”种子字。“阿”象征诸佛之语。有时候,这些心咒也会出现在他的脚底,当你把他的脚抬起时,就会看到这个种子字。

我们前去拜见喀格西,我深感荣幸。喀格西是刚坚仁波切的经师,我有幸能向他做大礼拜、供养、接受他的加持,并在他跟前祈愿和发愿。我们在圣者面前发愿,希望自己能证得如他们般的成就。

我遇到了许多这样的大师。这两个月里,我每晚都能绕着博达哈大佛塔而行。每个夜晚,偶尔在早上,我都会和我的僧人朋友们一起去持诵心咒和绕塔。哪怕只是一晚,我也没有错过。就在那时,我找到一个雕塑家,他为我做了一尊宋仁波切像。佛像造价大约是1500卢比,用陶土所制,还上了漆。我每天都会去拜访这位雕塑家,以确保佛像造工无误。我请人雕刻宋仁波切像是因为我想要一尊我上师的圣像。

你可以在此下载这幅高分辨率的唐卡。

我还请人制作了一幅宋波切的唐卡——唐卡中心为宋仁波切,左右两侧分别是从他心中化现的金刚瑜伽母和多杰雄登。我在加德满都制作了这幅唐卡,以及一幅小型的多杰雄登唐卡,并将之随身携带。桑登林寺的格西桑多帮我找到了一位唐卡师傅,为我缝制了这一幅美丽庄严的多杰雄登唐卡。

那时,我制作了这一幅我至今依然随身携带的多杰雄登唐卡、一幅宋仁波切唐卡和一尊宋仁波切像。我还在市集里发现了一个小巧玲珑的钢制多杰雄登擦擦,那是唯一的一尊,没有人知道这位护法是谁,但我知道他就是多杰雄登。我买下了这个擦擦,因为我一直在寻找一个多杰雄登擦擦,现在我终于找到了。我在那里遇到了瑜伽士、隐士、高僧和伟大的僧人。我去了很多寺院,以及金刚瑜7伽母和自生度母的圣地。在加德满都的两个月真是一段神奇的时光。移居马来西亚之后,我曾带领很多马来西亚朋友到那里参观这些我1987年到过的地方。那真是一段神奇而美丽的时光。在那期间,我得以接受千手观音灌顶,所以我想和大家分享这一切经历。谢谢。

詹杜固仁波切启

梭巴仁波切(左)与其上师耶喜喇嘛的合照。他们共同祈求多杰雄登加持,建立了高班寺和护持大乘法脉联合会(FPMT)。

后记

高班寺是由耶喜喇嘛和他的弟子梭巴仁波切于1969年所建。高班寺隶属护持大乘法脉联合会(FPMT),那是耶喜喇嘛几年后,于1975年所创立的一个国际性佛教组织。耶喜喇嘛和梭巴仁波切与我们的上师詹杜固仁波切来自同一传承,也就是说,他们都源自嘉杰赤江仁波切、嘉杰帕绷喀仁波切等大师的传承法脉。而且,耶喜喇嘛、梭巴仁波切和詹杜固仁波切不仅从至尊嘉杰宋仁波切座下接受直接的教诲,耶喜喇嘛和梭巴仁波切也都从此传承法脉的高僧大德处接受了多杰雄登法门

耶喜喇嘛、梭巴仁波切和詹杜固仁波切所属的传承法脉,对于遵从上师的教诲予以高度的重视。我们不应选择性地跟从上师的指导、教法、修持和法门,认为上师的某些教法正确,另一些则不如法。这是来自金刚总持的忠告。金刚总持是释迦牟尼佛为阐释密法而示现的至尊显相,他清楚地阐明,我们一旦皈依了某位上师,就不应该挑剔他的任何过失。

金刚总持教导我们应视上师为圆满证悟的佛。皈依上师之后,我们不应该在上师身上寻找过失。因此,不言而喻,我们不应该选择性地接受上师给予的指导和修持。

金刚总持还教导我们,应将上师看作与金刚总持和佛陀为一体,这一点至关重要。若我们一方面说我们的上师是金刚总持、释迦牟尼佛等,另一方面却说他会犯错,这种情况下,我们该叫现代修持者何以适从?如果一个被自己观想为圆满金刚总持的对象竟然会犯下修行上的错误,我们还希望现代修行者作何感想?如果我们那被视为活佛的上师也会犯错,那么我们必然不会透过观想他们为金刚总持等而得到任何加持,因为我们是在向本身也会犯错的不圆满众生做祈请。由此可见,一方面说我们的上师是活佛,另一方面又说他们也会犯错,这是不合逻辑的。同样的,当我们说像嘉杰宋仁波切和嘉杰赤江仁波切这样的活佛在传授和弘扬多杰雄登传承和灌顶的做法上有错时,那同样是不合理的。

《菩提道次第》中讲述了一个狗牙也能带来加持的精彩故事。有一位西藏商人经常前往印度经商而把母亲留在村里的家中。商人年迈的母亲是一位十分虔诚的妇女,她和大多数藏人一样,把印度视为阿离耶(觉者)的净土。藏人视印度为圣地,因为那是悉达多王子证悟成为释迦牟尼佛的地方。因此,每次商人前去印度时,他的母亲都会提醒他带回一件圣舍利,好让她能供奉在佛龛上以获得加持。

释迦牟尼佛在印度菩提迦耶的菩提树下证得佛果。如今,菩提迦耶是全球佛教徒的主要朝圣地之一。欲阅读佛陀生平事迹之图集,请点击这里

每次商人返家时,母亲都会问儿子是否给她带了什么东西回来。然而,商人每次都会尴尬地告诉老母亲,他又忘了。终于,在最近一次回程的途中,他忽然想起母亲要他带回一件圣舍利的请求。

商人意识到自己再度忘记母亲的请求之后,在途径一条小路时,突然发现路旁有一副狗的尸骸。他停下脚步,从狗身上拔下一颗狗牙,用丝绸裹好,并将之带回家给母亲,谎称那是释迦牟尼佛的牙齿。他的母亲顿时泪流满面,惊喜交集。她带着万分的虔敬与热忱向狗牙顶礼,并恭敬地将它高举过头,然后再把它放入一个小佛塔内。接着,她怀着极大的信心,把那座佛塔和佛像一起恭请到她的佛龛上。

The Buddha's relics. The merchant's mother thought that the dog's tooth her son presented to her was the Buddha's tooth, and so similarly enshrined it in a stupa. The tooth later showed miracles, a direct result of the mother's faith which allowed the Buddha's blessings to come through the tooth.

图为佛陀的圣舍利。商人的母亲以为儿子送给她的狗牙就是佛牙,于是将狗牙恭敬地供奉在佛塔中,并对它祈愿、供养和顶礼。后来狗牙展现了奇迹,这都是由于这位母亲对佛陀毫无保留的信心,让佛陀的加持得以透过狗牙呈现的直接结果。

虔诚的母亲每天都风雨不改地向佛牙供养水、香、鲜花和食物等。她祈求获得更高的修行成就及良好的投生。每一天,她都在这颗她深信的佛牙跟前,为她的村庄、儿子和自己祈愿。证悟者身上的任何部位(如佛牙)都被视为完整的证悟者本身,因此也具有赋予我们完整加持的力量。商人的母亲对此深信不疑。

每一天,她都重复做着相同的事情。事实上,她的小屋也因此变得非常有名。邻近的村庄都听闻了关于该舍利的故事,许多人蜂拥而至,到她家向佛牙做供养、祈愿和顶礼。

商人看到母亲如此虔诚,他很想告诉母亲真相,但又不忍心向她道破实情。他很想给母亲带回真正的舍利,但现在所有邻居都听闻了这颗牙,如此一来,向母亲道明真相变得难上加难。村里的每个人,甚至来自邻村的村民都以为他家有颗真正的圣舍利。他们每天都要向这颗牙顶礼和祈求加持。

如图所示,几年前,詹杜固仁波切的至尊嘉杰宋仁波切像身上开始长出一株小植物。詹杜固仁波切的上师们认为这是一个好征兆。欲阅读相关详情,请点击这里

然而有一天,令那位儿子惊讶的是,佛塔里的牙齿竟然开出了一朵小花。这是个大大的吉兆,说明那名母亲对释迦牟尼佛的信心与依止,已经带来了巨大的加持。

这个故事在西藏十分著名且深具影响力。故事说明,只要我们对诸佛和三宝持有坚定、始终如一的信心,我们就一定会得到加持。即便只是一颗狗牙,也能在商人母亲坚定的信念下转变成一个能传递佛陀加持力的管道

因此,透过这个《菩提道次第》中的故事,我们得以告诉现今的人们,即便(在最不可能的情况下)多杰雄登不是一个证悟者,如果我们把他视为文殊菩萨,并当作证悟者来依止,那么文殊菩萨的加持一定会凌驾于多杰雄登之上。事实上,嘉杰宋仁波切和赤江仁波切都曾表明多杰雄登乃文殊菩萨的化现。如果我们相信及信赖我们的上师,并将多杰雄登观想为证悟文殊菩萨来祈请和供养,那么文殊菩萨的加持就可以透过多杰雄登而来,就像佛陀的加持可以透过狗牙生成一样。由此可见,即使多杰雄登不是所谓的证悟者,只要我们相信并依止我们的上师,文殊菩萨的加持也一样会透过多杰雄登降临。

了解到这一点后,针对多杰雄登的不道德禁令就更加令人震惊。西藏领导人在1996年强行实施多杰雄登禁令,自那时起他们就告诉我们,修习多杰雄登的人必须被赶出寺院。事实上,根据藏人行政中央的规定,多杰雄登行者不能享受西藏侨民修建的设施,也不能成为西藏主流社会的一部分。

多杰雄登行者必须被隔离和敌视。虽然这听起来令人难以置信及莫名其妙,但这种种族隔离式的禁令至今未变。这完完全全就是宗教歧视。尽管达赖尊者声称这些只是建议,并不是禁令,但我们必须了解藏族社区的运作方式。在藏族社会,事情无需明言。达赖尊者提出这样的建议,就等于他给出了一个不容商量的指令,令出惟行。

Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa, both on the right, doing a puja in front of a Dorje Shugden thangka

耶喜喇嘛和梭巴仁波切(右一及右二者)在多杰雄登唐卡前修法会。

由于这项禁令和指令,尽管高班寺的成立与多杰雄登修持息息相关,但今日的高班寺已不再修习多杰雄登。耶喜喇嘛做了无数的多杰雄登法会为土地加持、创建高班寺,还寻求赞助、帮助及护持。事实上,耶喜喇嘛直至圆寂都对多杰雄登怀有强烈的信心。他的弟子梭巴仁波切亦是如此,直到西藏领导层禁止了这一修持法门为止。

因此,当詹杜固仁波切在1987年造访高班寺时,他还曾跟梭巴仁波切一起修多杰雄登法会,因为那是他的上师给予他的修持。当时,高班寺欢迎任何人到寺里接受加持和教诲。然而现在,由于西藏流亡政府的政治干预,情况已今非昔比。高班寺及其附属机构设有条规和标志,说明凡修习多杰雄登者,均不允许拜访高班寺或进入他们的场所。

由此可见,詹杜固仁波切将仅仅因为修持多杰雄登,而不获准造访高班寺或带他的学生前去朝圣,这简直令人难以置信,根本就是宗教歧视。这就好比包含恶魔、邪灵、饿鬼、畜生、人、天神、阿修罗和地狱众生在内的普罗众生都可以从高班寺得到加持,唯独多杰雄登行者不能,这可谓滑天下之大稽。每个人都可以到神圣的寺院接受加持和获得佛法的印记,唯独多杰雄登修行者不能。事实上,每个人都应该可以参观寺院和圣地,因为这些地方的目的是为了加持访客。不论种族、经济背景、性取向、性别和宗教信仰,每个人都应该得到加持。在佛教中更应如此,因为佛教教导我们要以慈悲心和理解宽容的态度去接纳那些不同于我们的人。以宗教歧视为由禁止人们参观的地方,否定了其存在的意义。允许宗教政治是可耻的。倘若释迦牟尼佛尚住世,他也绝不会同意这么做。

这听起来也许很不符合佛教精神,也不慈悲,不幸的是,事实确实如此。在目前政治介入宗教的政治环境下,詹杜固仁波切将无法造访高班寺。然而,詹杜固仁波切对解除多杰雄登禁令始终抱持乐观态度,因为他敬爱着达赖尊者。詹杜固仁波切向我们追述与梭巴仁波切共度的几段美好时光,尽管后来发生的一切可能是这些感人故事的一个悲伤结尾,但这并不会减损仁波切在1987年遇到梭巴仁波切,并接受其授予大悲观音菩萨灌顶的美好经历。

未知

已知与未知同样令人畏惧
已知是安于现状和停滞不前
未知却可能带来成长和机会
人们并不知道自己是否更畏惧未知还是已知
谁说未知会比已知更糟
虽说未知有时的确比已知来得糟
然而说到底一切却依然还是未知
除非我们竭尽所能去努力
因此,全力以赴去追寻未知
因为在熟悉之后,未知就会转为已知。
〜詹杜固仁波切

    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer

    Anonymous 问: 1: how can cleaning be turned into meditation? 2: in Chinese tradition, when someone passes away, there are these blankets with like Buddhas' names on it, Buddhist symbols, etc. What happens when they are cremated, what should we do so it isn't disrespectful to burn the cover/blanket? Thank you ♡
    pastor 已答: Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your questions. In regards to your first question, here is a part of Tsem Rinpoche's teaching (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/how-to-purify-your-karma-in-kechara-forest-retreat.html): "As I have shared before, during the Buddha’s time, he had a student who was not very intelligent, an old monk. And when this old monk memorised the first word, when he got to the second word, he forgot the first word. When he went back to the first word, he forgot the second word. And he’d yo-yo back and forth like that. And he was very frustrated so he asked the Buddha what he could do because he was having such a hard time memorising and understanding the Dharma due to his very, very, very, poor memory. And so the Buddha said, “Visualise a temple, the shoes of the monks, the floor, the surrounding area, the garden, the trees and all that as your mind. And all the leaves that have fallen as your karma, and your kleshas, your obstructions, your obstacles. Think of all the dirt, think of all the dust, as your kleshas and your obstructions and your negative karma, and every day clean it. And recite this DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG, DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG, DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG. Remove my defilements, remove its leftovers. Remove my defilements, remove the leftovers, the stains.. So, to recite that every day carefully and to visualise it carefully and do that.” So when you are cleaning, you visualise that you are cleaning the defilements from your mind, you can recite "DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG, DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG, DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG." or "Remove my defilements, remove its leftovers." Or you can recite mantras of purification such as Vajrasattva. In regards to your second question: from the Tibetan Buddhist viewpoints you would not burn mantras or images of or associated with the Three Jewels. However, the specific mantras on the blanket, may be for this specific purpose. We wouldn't be able to give you a definitive answers as we would need to know the specific mantras, prayers, images on the blanket. Hope this helps. Thank you.

    Jason 问: Continuing from the previous answer, how do we liberate ourselves from samsara if it’s impossible to not create further karma while existing in samsara? If we create karma just be existing, that means that we will keep reincarnating over and over again so it seems like we’re stuck in the cycle
    pastor 已答: Dear Jason, You've asked a very interesting follow-up question. Generally speaking, yes if you are in samsara, then you are always creating more karma. That's why the goal of Buddhists is to be liberated from samsara. The Buddha and other enlightened beings achieved this and the practice of Dharma itself is geared towards achieving this. I'll try to explain it here, hopefully I can do so in such a short space. So, normally there is no way out of samsara, but when you practice the Dharma there is. Remember in my previous reply to you, I mentioned that there are differing levels of severity of karma? Some are heavier, some lighter, etc. When practising the Dharma, you reduce the amount of karma that you produce. When you have less effects of karma, due to less negative karma itself, you can focus more on the spiritual practices that lead to liberation. I'll take the examples of the Refuge vows. There are 10 of them, split into three categories related to the body, speech and mind. First is the body, which includes to abstain form killing, as killing creates negative karma. The in the speech section, it includes to abstain from lying. This is harder to do. What is easier - to abstain from killing another human being, or lying to another person. The easier one is not to kill. Hence, you train yourself in this manner, working from those actions that are easiest to avoid, working up to those that are harder. For example in the mind section, one of the vows is not to covet something that another person has. But this is harder to do than either not lying or not killing. In other words, in our spiritual practice, we reduce the karma that we create though the actions of our body, speech and mind. Since we have less karma, we suffer less. And then finally, we are get to really subtle levels of karma, which are like residue in our mindstreams. But it's still there. In order to get out of samsara, you need to realise what we call emptiness (which is way to complicated to talk about here). In other words, the very path of the Dharma is to reduce the karma we create, starting with the easiest and working up to the hardest, which is where it becomes the easiest to understand emptiness. This who journey is a process, that's why teachings such as the Lamrim are indesipensible as it shows us the actual way to practice. Normally, we are stuck in Samsara. But when we practice the Dharma and ultimately realise emptiness (there are many, many steps in between) we are able to get out of samsara completely. This may sound confusing, which is why in Buddhism study, understand and practice is very important. We have Dharma classes available, where you can learn and find out more: https://www.kechara.com/learn/dharma-classes/ I hope this helps.

    Jason 问: People-especially family put certain expectations on us and when we refuse, it causes them a lot of stress and anger and we make them suffer…. my family wants me to marry and have kids but I don’t want to be tied down to Samsara any further and just explaining that I want to shave my head drives my mom crazy and she starts speaking to me in a very loud and forceful manner saying that she doesn’t care what I have to say and that she knows better than me so she will do whatever it takes make me have a family even if she ends up becoming a villain in my eyes because it’s for my own good so that I won’t be alone and lonely when I’m old. When we say no to people, especially to people who care about us and want the best for us, do we accumulate negative karma from causing them emotional turmoil and pain
    pastor 已答: Dear Jason, Thank you for your question. In essence, any action that causes another person harm or suffering whether physical or emotional generates negative karma. But karma is complicated and not as simple as we usually think about it. There are differences in level of severity of karma created, some can be very light and some can be heavy. These are due to the variables when creating karma, such as motivation, the actions, your feelings after it, etc. This can all be found in teachings that talk about karma, especially the Lamrim teachings. In Buddhism we teach that we need to avoid the creation of negative karma for sure. But simply by being stuck in samsara, there is actually no way out of creating karma. That is why Buddhists seek to be free from samsara altogether. Only when we are free from samsara, are we free from the creation of karma. In relation to your situation, if you are young and rely on your parents, for now you should try not to do things that are create division or disharmony within the family environment. That itself if the practice of the Dharma. Then later, when you are independent you can make more of an informed choice about what you want to do. Even in your current situation, you can practice the Dharma, it is not necessary to become a monk or nun to progress on your spiritual path. Dharma can be practiced in any environment, and actually practising towards our family is the best. When we transform our minds and our behvariours and they see just how beneficial this transformation is, this is the best way to show them that Dharma is good. This was a piece of advice that Tsem Rinpoche used to tell people in family situations all the time. I hope this helps you.

    Rojal Poudel 问: How can I meet my guru? Does one need a guru for initiation for tantra and other stuff on the path to enlightenment? Does one need a guru to attain enlightenment?
    pastor 已答: Dear Rojal, Thank you for your question. In regards to meeting your guru, there are many different ways. These days you can meet your guru online as well. For example, many people did not meet Tsem Rinpoche personally, but they consider him to be there guru. You may find this article interesting: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/the-guru-protocol-a-guide-to-knowing-who-your-guru-is.html In regards to tantra, yes, one definitely needs a qualified guru to bestow initiation and teach us the path of practice once you have initiation. In regards to our tradition, it is also considered necessary to have a guru to attain full enlightenment. Hope this helps. The article lined above will definitely help to answer some of your questions on a deeper level. Thank you.

    Rojal Poudel 问: How can you deepen your spiritual progress while sleeping? I heard some people can go to pure lands and get teachings directly from Buddha’s, Bodhisattva’s, and Dharma Protecters. Are these possible from Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection?
    pastor 已答: Dear Rojal, Thank you for your questions. It's always nice to see you here wanting to learn more. Yes it is definitely possible to deepen your practice in your sleep. This is done during practice of Highest Yoga Tantra, after receiving initiation and progressed along generation stage practice. This would obviously include everything before receiving such iniation such as having a basis and grounding in the Three Principle Aspects of the Path and the Lamrim teachings. In this practice you are able to use sleep to engage in meditation. This would need you to be able to lucid dream before hand. The ability to lucid dream itself can be developed a number of ways, but the most common is single-pointed mediation concentration during waking life. This is also known as Shamatha meditation. But in this case, the object of your meditation should be a mental one, rather than a physical one. The best would be a visualisation of the Buddha. All of this is outlined in the Lamrim teachings in the section on developing concentration. In terms of Astral Travel, yes it is definitely possible, and again there are different methods to go about this. Again this should be done only after having received the appropriate intiations and teachings from your guru. However, there are quite a few dangers involved with this. As Tsem Rinpoche mentioned before, the two main ones is that your consciousness is not able to return to your body and two that a spirit can take possession of your body if your protection is not strong and you have not invoked a Dharma protector to help with protection aspects. Another thing about astral travel, is that even if learn how to do it, it is not necessary that you can actually visit pure lands or receive teachings, etc. This is because, to do this, would require a lot of merit. So there are many things and practices to develop merit before you should engage in it. Often times, people who claim that they have received teachings or visited purelands, actually haven't though they may think that they did. It could simply be a projection of one's mind and in some serious cases perhaps even due to spirits mascarading. If you would like to learn lucid dreaming, please look into the teachings of single-pointed concentration normally. The ability of lucid dreaming comes naturally for those who progress in their shamatha meditation. As for astral travel practices, I would advise not to engage in such practices unless you receive the appropriate initiations, teachings from and under the strict supervision of a qualified guru. Hope this helps.

    Rojal Poudel 问: I am about to leave everything behind. I am tired of this life where I do the same thing everyday. I see everything but dharma as an illusion. I want to attain some sort of realization so that I can benefit other sentient beings. I am very inspired by the story of Milarepa, who gave up everything to learn dharma. Even the Buddha gave up comfort and luxury in search for this supreme truth. I also want to follow the Please tell me what I should do.
    pastor 已答: Dear Rojal, We can understand that you feel this way, and seeing the illusion of life should definitely motivate us to want to achieve something more spiritual. In the past when people asked Tsem Rinpoche the same question, he used to tell people a couple of things: > The first is that there are two methods to deal with our spiritual path. The first is to physically renounce everything and go into the wilderness, like Buddha Shakyamuni and Milarepa did. To cut yourself from everyone and everything and meditate continuously for years until you achieve realisation. But this is very hard to do in our day and age. We still need to have contact with people, there are the necessities of life to think about. Rinpoche said we need to think about things from a practice angle also. It takes a very great level of practitioner with an immense store of merit to be able to do this successfully. > The second method is to keep living within our a community and use them as a support for the transformation of the mind and spiritual progress. For example, that it why we have monasteries and nunneries, or Dharma centres and organisations to help with spiritual practice. This method is more measured, but you can still gain the same results. This is the more practical method. Especially according to the Mahayana path of practice, Bodhisattvas need to practice certain qualities in our minds and we progress towards enlightenment. Such qualities include the Six Perfections, but if we are not around others, how do we practice them? In order to practice generosity, we need others to be generous towards. In order to practice patience, we need others to be patient towards. In order to practice morality and ethics, we need to be in situations to be able to practice our vows. Enlightened beings like Buddha and Milarepa were able to do all of this in their minds during meditation but as mentioned before they were already high level pracitioners with immense merit. For example, Buddha Shakyamuni had three countless aeons of consistent practice life time after life time until his achieved enlightenment. > Another thing that Rinpoche shared, that while understanding the drawbacks of life and the benefits of becoming enlightened, a lot of the time what happens these days is that it is mixed up with emotion due to the challenges of life. People are looking for an escape, but not an escape from samsara into enlightenment, but simple an escape from their current problems. The need for escape, known as renunciation in Buddhism, is not to simply escape samsara, but developed in a certain way through contemplation and meditation. When we have such feelings, we should analyse them to see if they are in accord with the teachings and the methods of developing true renunciation. Many people also have a unrealistic way of thinking about physical renunciation and the spiritual path in general. Most people think it is easy, but it is not, is difficult because we need to deal with our minds, our emotions, our traumas, etc, from countless lives. If we don't have a firm foundation in Dharma practice and transformation before we attempt something like Buddha Shakyamuni or Milarepa, we will give up after a while because we find it too hard. And perhaps give up spiritual practice because the path did not actually match our expectations. So the key is to be as realistic as possible about our spiritual path. So our advice, rather than give up everything, as you may have family or other responsibilities, is to use your current situation to transform your mind, to practice the teachings right now in life, so that you can start progressing along the spiritual life. The best way to do this is to practice the Lamrim teachings, which give you a firm roadmap of how and what to practice in a sequential manner. Giving up everything is not necessary to make real progress on the spiritual path, as outlined in the Lamrim, but sustained and consistent practice is the key. Then use the situations in your life to actualise that transformation. We hope this helps.

    Jason 问: I listened to Tsem Rinpoche’s dharma talk and was inspired to be patient and kind towards other. For a while I felt like my mind had transformed and I started being more proactive in helping others and making sure to complete my responsibilities as perfectly as I can to not burden others and taking the initiative to help people that I see are struggling with their work but recently I have been feeling like I’m actually harming others instead of helping them by being kind because I feel like I’m enabling their bad behavior and rude attitude, especially one person in particular that I have to work with. No matter how much I help and show kindness, they don’t seem to change…and now I feel like a pushover for smiling and helping them even though they don’t show any appreciation or respect for it and instead take advantage of me and push even more of their responsibilities on me. I’ve been having thoughts that my kindness and patience has just become a cover for fear of confrontation now. What should I do? I feel like I’m gonna lose control and lash out even though I try to focus my mind on how the people around me must be struggling
    pastor 已答: Dear Jason, Thank you for your question. We are very happy to hear that Tsem Rinpoche's Dharma talks have inspired you, especially to practice patience and kindness towards others. Please do keep it up, the benefits of both qualities are immense and are central to spiritual transformation. We should always try our best to practice both patience and kindness, but sometimes practising it in the way we think may not be the best option. For example, in the case that you mentioned, it is not having the right effect on your own mind and also you are enabling your co-worker to exhibit negative behaviours as well. In this case, actually practising kindness would not be to become a pushover, taking more responsibilities, etc. This isn't beneficial for your or the co-worker. So here, practising kindness would actually be not to allow the person to do such things, but it should be practised with patience and not out of emotion. So you would do this in a very skilfful manner. The best would be to have a talk with your co-worker in a very calm manner and explain how you are feeling and how they are making you feel in the work environment, and try to sort out the situation before it progresses. Especially since you are having such thoughts of anger and the posibility of lashing out. Practicing kindness and patience is not at all become a push over or allowing others to skip out on their responsibilities, etc. We really hope this helps. Thank you.

    Sok 问: Hello respected pastors. Is Kusha grass same as Durva grass? How to obtain kusha grass?
    pastor 已答: Dear Sok, Kusha grass and Durva grass are two different types of grass, they are not the same. Kusha grass is also known as halfa grass, big cordgrass, or salt reed-grass. Its scientific name is Desmostachya Bipinnata. In shape, each blade of grass is long and straight. Durva grass is also known as bermuda grass. Its scientific name is Cynodon Dactylon. In shape, each blade looks segmented and has smaller leaves sprouting from it. You can google the scientific name to see the difference between the two. Generally, they can be bought at Indian religious stores if there are any nearby where you live. Alternatively, if you live in Asia, you can buy a traditional grass broom, which you can substitue for the Kusha grass. It is a close relative of Kusha grass and the lamas have said that it can be used as substitue if you cannot find the actual grass. I hope this helps. Thank you.

    pastor 已答: Dear Bhavisha, Local deities are not enlightened. They are sentient beings who look after or take care of a specific area. There are different names for these types of beings, such as local deities, Land God, Landowner deities, etc. They belong to the God Realm, but as other beings in the god realm, they are not enlightened. Hope this helps.

    Rojal Poudel 问: What comes after attaining samatha or calm abiding meditation?
    pastor 已答: Dear Rojal, Nice to see you back here! Shamatha is a tool, basically through this meditation you develop single pointed concentration. But after developing that, you use it to engage in Vipashyana meditation, otherwise known as Special Insight. Different traditions have different version of Special Insight. In our tradition, we use this type of meditation to analyse what we call "emptiness." The teachings on the emptiness are the actual teaching that leads to enlightenment. All other teachings or practices help to prepare your mind to be able to do this. Shamatha comes in, because the topic of emptiness is so deep, that we need single-pointed concentration to analyse it. If we don't have this type of concentration, we will not be able to understand emptiness. Hence, shamatha and vipashyana meditation are used in tandem to achieve enlightenment. This may seem a little abstract. The Lamrim teachings go into this in a lot of detail. They can be found in the chapters dealing with the Concentration and Wisdom as part of the Six Perfections in the Great Scope sections of the Lamrim. Hope this helps. Thank you.

    Jonathan Tan 问: Hi Dear Pastor, I am curious if H.E 25th Tsem Rinpoche had any heart disciples (son/daughter) Is there a difference between heart and root disciples?
    pastor 已答: Dear Jonathan, Thank you for your question. There is no one heart disciple of Tsem Rinpoche. This usually refers to specific person who carries on the teachings and practices of a particular teacher. Tsem Rinpoche wanted something different for Kechara, hence we carry on his teachings and practices as a group, rather than one specific person. Rinpoche trained his students, who are either Sangha, Pastors or senior students in various ways of continuing his teachings, especially through the work that they do. In this way, we continue Rinpoche's teachings as a group rather than any one heart disciple. Hope that this helps. Thank you.

    Sirius 问: Hi dear pastors, I'd like to get recomendations on how to improve my actual sadhana. My morning starts by taking refuge and making offerings to the three jewls, followed by Lama Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga. After this I usually study Lam Rim, and other Dharma Texts. During the afternoon I meditate for a about an hour or so, and somedays I do the Dorje Shugden sadhana given by Rinpoche. Finally at night I finish my day by doing Vajrasattva meditation and confession to the 35 Buddhas. What else can I do to improve my sadhana? What practices would you recomend me to do? Do you have recomendations on texts I could read? I would like to add that I live in Argentina, and I do not have any buddhist temple near sadly, so I cannot go there to practice, learm or collab. I would appreciate advice on this. Thank you in advance.
    pastor 已答: Dear Sirius, Thank you for your question. In terms of practice, you are doing a lot. We are very happy to read that you are doing all these beneficial practices. They will be very beneficial for you. What you are doing is very good already, the only thing that I would say is to make the Dorje Shugden sadhana consistent as well as the others. If you are doing the short Diamond Path sadhana, it includes the Vajrasatta meditations, so you don't have to do it separately. We just have some points to help you improve your practice: > First is whenever you do any of the practices, is it vital to make sure you take refuge, generate bodhicitta and practice the four immeasurables before each session. And then at the end of the session, make sure to dedicate. This seals the merit generated from your practice. This is very important as if we don't have the correct motivation at the beginning and dedicate it at the end, since the merit is not sealed, the positive potential is destroyed when we have disturbing emotions, especially anger. > The second is to be consistent in your practices and do them daily. If you cannot be consistent with the practices you are doing at the moment, then reduce what you are doing to make it simple, for example just the Diamond Path (which includes Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga anyway). Then once you are consistent daily, later you can slow add in other practices and become consistent with them. > The third is to keep revising the teachings on these practices, understand the motivation, deepen your visualisations, etc. > In regards to your meditation, if you are doing breathing or concentration meditation, again, revise the teachings again and again to make your practice stronger and understand where you are on your meditational path. > You can also spend some time every day, maybe five or ten minutes contemplating the Lamrim teachings step by step. This itself is extremely transformational and will propel you along the spiritual path. In regards to what else to study or read, here is a very good article: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/books-that-are-a-must-read.html If you consider Tsem Rinpoche to be your spiritual teacher, there are thousands of hours of teachings on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoTg0Wc5q3Gnz8ej3ETCdMQ You can watch and re-watch them to deepen your understanding and practice. I hope all of this helps.
