近日,西藏“流亡政府”, 或称藏人行政中央(Central Tibetan Administration-CTA)的代表与著名人民议会议员丹巴雅培在会议中谈到西藏统一的必要性。丹巴雅培勇敢的提出了一项被西藏当局搁置了超过20年的课题——多杰雄登的不合理禁令。如今,这项禁令已让原本就脆弱的西藏团结运动雪上加霜。看见一位人民议会议员自信的诉说着流亡藏民的现实,是一件非常欣喜的事。丹巴雅培的出发点是让西藏向更美好的未来前进,而不是让足以摧毁西藏政体与和谐的分离政策阻碍这项进程。

在流亡印度以前,西藏人自古以来就会有自我划分为不同派系的倾向。这些派系会根据地域,宗教派别,及历史争端来划分。如今,政治取向也让西藏人分化成不同的阵营。其中一个阵营为推动西藏独立运动的“藏独”(rangzen)联盟;而另一边厢则是被称为“中间道路”(umaylam)的政治运动。其宗旨在于以建立一个以达赖喇嘛为领袖的中国西藏自治区。藏人也曾经历趋向不同精神领袖而导致的分化,例如“双胞大宝法王”事件及极具摧毁性的多杰雄登争议。这些事件并不只是印度境内藏民的“本土事件”,因其事件所引发的仇恨已传播至西藏自治区,甚至已传遍世界。这些事件已让藏人行政中央领导层蒙羞,同时,也不是丹巴雅培所愿意见到的。

丹巴雅培在刻不容缓之时发表声明。流亡藏人在藏人行政中央的管理下,因种种因素,彼此已变得逐渐疏离。箇中原因包括:从流亡藏人面对失业问题,乃至于多杰雄登修持者者所需面对的歧视。再者,流亡藏人在藏人行政中央的管理下,无法看见清晰的未来。于此同时,随着中国的崛起,藏人所获得的国际援助也大幅度减少。不过,这也让许多自由社会的人们看清藏人行政中央政策的不公平与不民主之处。

丹巴雅培在最近的一场人民议会会议中说到,其中一项最不民主,且破坏西藏团结的政策就是多杰雄登纷争。2019年3月21日,丹巴雅培公开反对那些根据人们信仰,而抱持持续性歧视态度的相关单位。他说从前当达赖喇嘛在世界各国演讲时,即便达赖喇嘛当天并没有谈论多杰雄登的内容,人们会对达赖喇嘛向多杰雄登所颁布的禁令表示抗议。丹巴雅培重申,这意味着,有关抗议活动已对神圣的达赖喇嘛及藏人行政中央的形象与名誉,带来负面影响。随后,丹巴雅培邀请了西藏人民议会的代表来检验,究竟禁令会不会为藏人带来任何收益,及询问他们对于有关禁令如何阻碍西藏统一的进程。

翻译摘要:

尊敬的国会议长:

有人提出了关于多杰雄登的课题。我想对此发表我个人的看法。

所有“朵杰巴”(多杰雄登修持者)已连续四年向达赖喇嘛表示抗议。他们总会出现在达赖喇嘛弘法的地点举行示威活动,即便尊贵的达赖喇嘛并没有在他的弘法内容里提及朵杰。

我认为在我们的社会里不应存在任何形式的歧视,尤其是对于修行方式的歧视,毕竟其弊大于利。当我们在谈论这些课题时,此举已经为我们的社会造成伤害了。在朵杰的课题上,无论达赖喇嘛到哪里弘法,他们总跟着他,到他弘法的地点抗议。所以,不谈论这些课题方为上策。

其实,说起朵杰,我并没有与他们联系。我重申,我并没有与他们在私下或公开层面有任何的联系。

我们必须团结一致,而不是相互排挤。无论是在这个课题上,我们经历过伤害或得到任何好处,我们都不应该再谈论这个课题。

* 朵杰 – 藏人行政中央及其支持者对多杰雄登的贬义称谓。“朵杰”这个词的意思为“朵”这个地方的鬼王。这个称谓佐证了藏人行政中央对多杰雄登的无根据指控——指控多杰雄登为邪灵,而非出世间护法。“朵杰巴”就是藏人行政中央对于多杰雄登信众的戏谑称呼。

 

身为人民议会议员,丹巴雅培的意见是极具重要意义的,因为争端追根究底,还是源自藏人行政中央领导层。就算到了今天,藏人行政中央官方网站依旧保留着其领导层呼吁所有藏人边缘化多杰雄登信众的讯息种种歧视性的做法包括,禁止多杰雄登修持者参加由达赖喇嘛主持的任何世俗聚会。他们被禁止进入西藏流亡政府境内的任何医院,或担任西藏流亡政府公职人员。一旦多杰雄登修持者踏入藏人聚居地,他们连到商店购买一瓶牛奶的权力都没有。

藏人行政中央领导层对这种种的隔离措施是知情的,而更甚者,这些隔离措施是他们颁布的。因此,既然他们是争端的源头,若想见到任何改变,藏人行政中央领导层的决议是关键性的。几位西藏领袖谈论到团结藏民的必要性,但在这些谈话在付诸实际行动前,无异于纸上谈兵。以上所述实际行动的例子包括:移除藏人行政中央官方网站上,有关“反多杰雄登”的讯息。只有在采取上述消除歧视的行动后,藏人行政中央才谈得上“团结全民”。因为这足以显示,藏人行政中央是认真的在消除一切存在于藏人社会中的分离主义。

在藏人行政中央领导层从官方网站移除反多杰雄登的讯息前,他们所说的有关团结全民的议题不过是耍耍嘴皮子而已。存在于藏人行政中央官方网站上的这项讯息,足以证明藏人行政中央对多杰雄登修持者所保持的隔离态度,而这与团结全民的理念正是背道而驰的。这是西藏流亡政府的官方网站。如果西藏独立了,这个网站将会是一个代表这个新国家的网站。试问哪一个国家的官方网站会对任何宗教保持歧视的态度?哪一个国家的官方网站会积极的阻拦及“规劝”你不要信奉某个宗教?这足以证明他们何等的“不民主”。

我们必须认清的是,丹巴雅培唯一的志向就是为西藏人民谋取福祉。他发表声明自己绝对没有参与任何多杰雄登信仰团体,或与他们有任何联系。这很显然的可以总结为,他不是为了自己的利益而出发。反对多杰雄登禁令,不会为他带来任何好处。他是以一个爱国者的角度来看待藏民团结的。他正正是为了西藏传统文化的延续,而在所不惜的做了该做的事。藏人时常谈到保存他们文化的重要性,但是,如果这个民族不能真正团结与专注,保存藏文化将无从谈起。

在这个课题上,丹巴雅培绝对是一把孤独且进取的声音。除去少数例子,会对危害西藏团结的政策提出反对声音的人民议会议员实在不多。这不禁让西藏流亡政府管辖下的民众猜测,究竟他们的领袖是在实现自己的个人议程,还是为了全民的福祉而奋斗。当然,为了维持现有的“稳定”,那些拥有个人议程的议员当然不会对破坏藏民团结的议案有任何意见。因为他们可不想被扣上“反对建设”,“反对达赖”或“反藏”的帽子,从而失去他们那有利可图的议员职位。对这些人来说,满足个人的目标与野心,往往比足以保存藏文化及传统精神的藏民团结来得重要。所以显而易见的是,丹巴雅培的声明透露出对藏民未来的关爱,与藏人行政中央对多杰雄登信众所实施的种种政策,成鲜明对比。

在达兰萨拉的示威活动是冲着丹巴雅培而举行的。就因为丹巴雅培曾批评乃琼护法,他们就给他扣上了“反达赖”的帽子,并对他进行弹劾。虽然丹巴雅培早就意料到他们会如此反应,但他还是站出来控诉藏人行政中央领导层,过度依赖乃琼的这项极具破坏性政策。点击图片放大。

丹巴雅培素来会为他认为足以破坏藏民团结的政策而发声,尽管他这样做将为自身带来极大的风险。大约两年前,他曾勇敢的对藏人行政中央过度依赖乃琼护法问题上,提出他的顾虑,而这也让他陷入舆论的风口浪尖。当西藏流亡政府对国家大事有任何疑惑时,政府高层就会向乃琼护法寻求“神谕”。丹巴雅培的用意不在于谴责乃琼护法。他认为藏人行政中央在面对他们疏于应付的课题时,必须根据逻辑推理及实用价值来判断,而不是一味采取过时的超自然解决方案。丹巴雅培尤其担心的是,一尊遭降伏的护法,虽然在过去所测出的神谕中,发生过多次不准确及错误的预测。但是,每当西藏流亡政府决定推行重要政策时,他还是扮演着举足轻重的角色。

当丹巴雅培针对充满分离主义及歧视性的多杰雄登禁令表示反对时,一些藏族支持者表现出他们的雀跃。

当丹巴雅培针对充满分离主义及歧视性的多杰雄登禁令表示反对时,一些藏族支持者表现出他们的雀跃。

丹巴雅培对于乃琼护法的评论是非常大胆的。这是因为达赖喇嘛做出重要决定时,都会寻求乃琼护法的神谕,而丹巴雅培的论断往往被解读为批评达赖的此项做法。有鉴于此,他在社交媒体及线下被大肆抨击为“反达赖阵营”的支持者。以至于有人为此举行示威,要他接受弹劾。正因为丹巴雅培的意见而遭至的种种抨击,正反映了西藏流亡政府领导层思想的落伍。同时,在世界各国政府所表现出的务实与现代化,对比出藏人行政中央在处理世界课题时,多么的措手不及。

乃琼护法是在偶然间劝谏西藏流亡政府领导层禁止多杰雄登法门的。他断言这项法门是导致西藏政府覆灭的原因。但是尽管多杰雄登的禁令已历时20年,流亡藏人始终并未与中国大陆当局的谈判取得任何进展。反之,他们正面临失去全球支援的历史倒车。于是,丹巴雅培认为,接纳多杰雄登修持者的建议是非常合乎逻辑的。且不论藏人如何看待多杰雄登法门,更重要的是,藏人行政中央需看清眼前的局势,以及明白只有通过促进藏人团结,才能确保西藏流亡政府的前程。而不是一味迷信的归咎于一尊神祗。这位勇敢的议会议员证明了自己并不会被现状打败,因为他清楚知道他正在做的这件事是正确的。

我们全力支持议会议员丹巴雅培的声明——人们不应该因为他们的信仰而遭受歧视。任何民主国家都不会因为人民的肤色及精神信仰,而让他们遭受歧视。这并不是一项出类拔萃的理念,相反的,只要是一个宣称自己实行民主的政体,都应该有这项基本理念。事实上,也不需要一位议会议员来劝阻其政府在已经紧张的局势上火上浇油。任何形式的歧视就应该在开始时就遭到扼杀。藏人已见证了多杰雄登禁令的破坏力,不只为多杰雄登修持者带来影响,同时更全面性的影响着整个藏族社区。就算人们没有受过专业训练或特别训练,他们也可以了解丹巴雅培所表达的内容。藏人可以自己权衡及见证,多少人因为多杰雄登禁令而牺牲了。

西藏流亡政府领导层对整个藏人社区所带来的破坏已经逐渐明朗化。对于越来越多人作出同样的结论,这是非常鼓舞人心的。比如达赖喇嘛的亲信——阿嘉仁波切也在最近也表示藏人相互团结的重要性。在现今这个充满挑战的时代,随着美国国力的衰退,及中国崛起所带来的新世界秩序,藏人需灵活及更具凝聚力,以便更完善的保护自身的民族个性与习俗。在任何形式里,团结只会对藏族有百利而无一害。对我们许多人来说,丹巴雅培是一位受到全球各地人们敬仰,真正开明的西藏英雄。这是因为,他不亢不卑的为藏族社会的美好明天而发声。多杰雄登到底是神是鬼都不足以成为一项课题。一位藏人拜神或拜鬼会令他有什么不同呢?他们依然是值得被尊重的西藏人,同时也和其他西藏人一样拥有同等的话语权。我们该谈论的是拥有自由和民主,且能在不受歧视的情况下,按照自己的意愿去信仰任何宗教。这才是重点。

我与许多藏人衷心的希望,尊贵且充满智慧与慈悲的达赖喇嘛愿意与多杰雄登修持者见面。这是因为他们也是达赖喇嘛的子民。他们希望重修一段暌违了20年的君民(师徒)关系。我衷心的希望西藏流亡政府领导可以让因为这个禁令,而各散东西的道场,重新团结,让因为这个禁令而分崩离析的家庭与社区重归于好。西藏流亡政府人民议会应邀请多杰雄登信众到达兰萨拉举行会谈。他们应开始进行和解与重建关系的进程。他们应告诉大家,我们是平等的,我们是友善的,即使我们来自不同的派系,我们都是西藏人。我希望西藏流亡政府领导移除存在于他们宪法中的隔离条例,因为这是一项完全不民主的条例。

这一切浮上国际平台后,我希望西藏领袖们最终明白,无论他们来自哪一个宗派,或哪一个社会阶级,为了拯救他们的文化及习俗,他们必须团结一致。我希望西藏流亡政府领导层,最终会终止针对多杰雄登信众的隔离政策,并且邀请他们,与其他曾经遭受歧视的民众,共同建立我们的民族,我们的社区。身为富有责任感的领导人,西藏流亡政府领导层需踏出第一步,开始向世界各地,各散东西的多杰雄登信众表示慰问,并开始重建关系,向团结的目标迈进。

詹杜固仁波切敬启

翻译摘要:

表现得好像没宗教文化部寺庙就走不下去也不好,寺院都是名符其实也能自立。宗教文化部要照顾的是所有人,不应有偏颇。

宗教文化部从一开始规划时,就应该考虑到这是不是大家都能共同参予实践,而不应规划了之后抱怨谁谁没做。就像备餐请客,如果做的是油腻的,除了喜欢油腻的人会来,不喜油腻的人自然不会来。

再谈这件事没有利益,要考虑这件事到底有利还有弊,我认为没有利益。我也没当他是神依止过,就算他是鬼也没见过。

我们不能因为周遭没有就因此批评他们坏。团结很重要,他们也是我们中的一部份,老是讲自己多有能力可以对他们怎么样是没有利益的。

近来谈这问题并不好,宗教文化部不是个别教派的团体,是公众的。如果对方(多杰雄登信众)走错路,也应该以慈悲心劝导,设法让他们回头。

    A great history of a great yogi which I do enjoy reading , reading over it again and again. Jetsun Milarepa was a famous Tibetan siddha, known as a murderer when he was a young man. Who later turning to Buddhism and becoming a highly accomplished Buddhist disciple. Generally considered as one of Tibet’s most famous yogis and spiritual poets, whose teachings are known among several schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Milarepa’s story is one of struggle, anguish, resolve, and triumph all of which make him recognizably. Practicing these teachings for many years in isolated mountain retreats in caves such as caves hidden deep in the mountains of Tsum Valley. That’s where Milarepa attained enlightenment and gained fame for his incredible perseverance in practice and for his spontaneous songs of realisation. Milarepa is said to be the first to achieve the state of Vajradhara in one lifetime. That’s incredible.

    H.H Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a Gelug Lama, a sharp analyst, master of philosophical debate and a Tantric practitioner. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a disciple of the third Trijang Rinpoche, junior tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama. Rinpoche was known as a strong, detached and wrathful lama having impeccable knowledge of all rituals, art and science. Thousands of Westerners have received and benefited from his teachings both in the West and in India and gave many empowerments and teachings as well. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was renowned for his many actions of powerful magic . We are fortunate and blessed listening to the powerful voice of Kyabje Zong Rinpoche’s precious teachings as in this blog.

    Visiting Tibet, holy Gaden Monastery is everyone dream and a once life time. Of course if we have the means to visit again will be great. End of December 2008 and early January 2009 our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche with a small group students visited Tibet. Thousands of pilgrims, visitors and tourists around the world have visited this incredible holy land for the last 600 years. Tsem Rinpoche visited Tibet for the first time with an oxygen tank. I am fortunate to visit this holy place with my Dharma brothers and sisters years back.
    With our Guru blessing we went without any without any hitch. Visited most of the monasteries and could feel the powerful energies there. Looking at those pictures in this blog reminds me of trip there.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Interesting….. a ground breaking documentary by world BBC where everyone should watch. BBC did mentioned and documented that Jesus was a Buddhist monk and that he had spent some years in India. I would not know about this till I came across this blog. Many people most probably too. Interesting watch one should not miss. Jesus was a religious leader revered in Christianity, one of the world’s major religions. He is regarded by most Christians as the Incarnation of God. Historical evidence indicates that Jesus was well acquainted with Buddhism. Historical evidence indicates that Jesus knew about Buddhism. Other evidence, while perhaps apocryphal, indicates that he spent most of his so-called lost years outside Judea, possibly in Kashmir to study Buddhism exclusively.

    The Great Buddhas of Bamiyan were two monumental Buddhist statues built around 600 CE. A holy site for Buddhists on the Silk Road, historically a caravan route linking the markets of China with those of the Western world. The two most prominent statues were the giant standing sculptures of the Buddhas .It was the site of several Buddhist monasteries where monks at the monasteries lived as hermits. It was until in 2001, both statues were destroyed by the Taliban . Before being blown up in 2001, they were the largest examples of standing Buddha carvings in the world .Buddhism was eliminated in Afghanistan by the 13th century during the Mongol conquests. Sadly all statues depicting humans in Afghanistan was destroyed. They were perhaps the most famous cultural landmarks of the region, and the site was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Despite the Buddhas’s destruction, the ruins continue to be a popular culture landmark, where many locals, pilgrims and tourist visit the site.

    Ven. Kyabje Yongyal Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet, recognized as the fourth reincarnation of Kyabje Yongyal Rinpoche. Well he was known for his purity in holding his vinaya vows. Even though he left Tibet in 1959 and settled in India, he had inspired, and supported the Sangha community, working tirelessly giving teachings at Sera Monastery in India . He also continued in protecting, preserving and propagating the Buddhadharma all over the world. H E Tsem Rinpoche first met him about 15 years in Sera Monastery and the last time in Gaden Monastery. Kyabje Yongyal Rinpoche knew that Tsem Rinpoche in New York back in 2013 and decided to meet up with Rinpoche. Looking at those beautiful photos tells all . Its truly rejoiced moment .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with precious photos taken during Rinpoche visit.

    The general preliminaries are the four contemplations on precious human body, impermanence and death, cause and effect of karma, and the defects of samsara. The special preliminaries are taking refuge, arousing bodhicitta, the recitation and meditation of Vajrasattva, mandala offerings, and guru yoga.The purpose of life is to benefit other sentient beings and the greatest benefit we can offer them is to liberate them from their suffering and its causes. We have to purify all the negative karma and defilements we have collected over our beginning-less rebirths and accumulate extensive merit. These are the conditions necessary for us to actualize the path. Well we have received just this once the most precious human life ,we have to make our life as meaningful as possible. The purpose of doing preliminary practices is for us to purify obstacles to achieving realizations of the path to enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings. I am still doing my best .
    Great sharing thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this important write up .

    The Heart Sutra teaches emptiness through the epitome of compassion. It is often said that, the heart of emptiness is compassion. It’s an attribute by which we sees the suffering of another and experiences true empathy for them. This empathy, in turn, leads the person to reach out and share in the person’s suffering. By helping them to endure whatever they are going through regardless of race and religion. Our prime purpose in this life is to help and benefit others. Well if we can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them. Treat others as we would like others to treat us. Always wish upon others and showing kindness to those who are feeling sad or upset to help them feel better. Lend a shoulder to them to lean on. Emptiness can be explored through meditation and contemplation. By observing the impermanence and interdependence of all things, we can gradually come to understand the true nature of reality. We have to understand the actual words of the Heart Sutra and its meaning within the Buddhist tradition as well as the meanings of emptiness. Will revisit this blog to read, learn more .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

    The concept of Dharma is considered to be accessible and applicable to everyone, regardless of their religious background. Dharma, in its essence, is about understanding and living in accordance with universal principles of righteousness and ethical conduct. The core of the doctrine of dharma, especially in Buddhism, is about understanding the nature of suffering, the cause of suffering, the possibility of ending suffering, and the path to liberation through ethical conduct, mindfulness, and wisdom. Dharma is the essential teachings to transform our mind towards that of an enlightened being. Learning and putting what we learn into practice helped us to become a better person. Dharma is for everyone, reading those stories as in the blog give us a clear understanding. Nor matter what religion we are , we are taught to be loving, compassion and living peacefully.
    Thank you Rinpoche for these great teachings.

    Generosity is giving more than we can, and pride is taking less than we need. Giving is an action; generosity is a matter of the heart. Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. Sharing one’s resources and helping others in need. We have not lived today until we have done something for someone who can never repay you. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article.

    n Buddhism, Dharma refers to the teachings of the Buddha and the true nature of reality. It also encompasses principles like the Eightfold Path, which guides individuals towards enlightenment and liberation from suffering. A Dharma attitude involves fulfilling one’s responsibilities and duties towards oneself, others, and the environment. Dharma work helps us to focus on benefiting others instead of ourselves. Each one of us has different ideas, approaches and methods to do dharma work. As long as its benefits others and
    taking responsibility for our own actions transforming others with love and generosity. It is important to embrace our imperfections as embracing puts us on a better path of acceptance and self-discovery.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this.

    Buddhism is one of the most ancient belief systems and is practiced today by nearly 350 million people around the world.
    Bettany Mary Hughes is an English historian, author, and broadcaster, specialising in classical history. Bettany Hughes travelled to the seven wonders of the Buddhist world. Where she documented a unique insight into the seven wonders that explained the long and rich history of Buddhism 2500 years ago . Truly fascinating documentary that’s one should watch. Started off her journey with Bodh Gaya in India, the Bodanath Stupa in Nepal, the Temple of The Tooth in Sri Lanka, Wat Pho Temple in Thailand, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the Giant Buddha in Hong Kong and the Hsi Lai Temple in the United States. At each location, she meets with Buddhist scholars who explain the different concepts that form the core of Buddhist philosophy, giving insight into the long and rich history of Buddhism. Interesting sharing.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.

    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
