多杰雄登的转世传承中,没有任何一位大师拥有班禅索南扎巴同等的荣誉。他在那一世不仅是第十五任甘丹赤巴,还担任了格鲁三大寺——甘丹寺、哲蚌寺和色拉寺的堪布法台。他也是宗喀巴大师的直系弟子——持律主杜津扎巴坚赞的无误转世。

在古印度,精通大小五明的学者或专家被称为“班智达”。 “大五明”是指因明(逻辑学)、声明(声律学)、医方明(医学)、内明(佛学)和工巧明(工艺学);“小五明”是指辞藻学、历算学、戏剧学、修辞学和韵律学。索南扎巴因其出色的学术成就被授予“班禅”尊号,这个尊称融梵、藏语而成,指的是“大智者”。

索南扎巴在1478年(土狗年)降生于西藏自治区山南市的泽当,为南巴朗巴之子,年少时随耐钦波索南扎西出家,法名为索南扎巴。青少年的索南扎巴在泽当寺学论,为佛学的修持打下了基础,包括阅读、写作,还有背诵经文和重要经典。

他研习了《释量论》。为了更理解这个主题,他前往雅桑,与当地的学者进行了交流。他在雅桑也学习了声律学、修辞学和韵律学,并从确吉达波拉绛巴和其他学者身上获得传统佛学经典的开示。

色拉寺和其他寺院的正规教育

索南扎巴赴桑浦寺、尼玛塘寺学经,特别依止色拉大乘法洲经师永津顿约贝丹达十二年。在色拉寺的期间,他潜心研习佛教经典,例如《现观庄严论》、《中论》、《俱舍论》、《释量论》和《戒律本论》。

这五大论典奠定了格鲁派寺院学制的五大方向,想获得“格西拉让巴”学衔必须通过这五部大论的考核。

在此期间,索南扎巴前后依止众多合格的大德善知识为经师,他们有些是当代的主要大师,如温敦•班觉伦珠(1427-1514)、色拉寺的第十任堪布顿约贝丹(1445-1524),还有吞巴克尊•云丹嘉措(1443-1521)。研读佛教经典的同时,索南扎巴也听授许多密法仪轨,20岁那年便从俄那喇嘛桑杰桑藏布受具足戒。

索南扎巴二十七岁时加入吉祥上密院扎仓,依止金刚持却丹洛卓,听受密法三年。这位大师给他传授许多密续的教义、灌顶、窍诀和口传,索南扎巴因而精通显密二教。

在泽当寺大经院的辩经考试中,他的辩证技巧和经文知识让他获得了“拉绛巴”的称号,意指“具无碍智慧者”。多如大海的学者们向他抛出赞叹的花鬘,智者美誉传遍西藏各地。

接下来的那一年,索南扎巴重新回到上密院扎仓,继续向同一位大师修习密续法门。比起以往,他这一回对密法作了更深入的研究,于是很快便成了西藏学者中的大鹏,并撰写了实修密法的论著。

索南扎巴还曾依止格鲁派著名的历史学家贡噶坚赞(1432-1506年),此人乃是泽当寺的善知识;另外一名则是比较低调的大师仁钦却桑,他可能是一位隐士。索南扎巴三十四岁时被任命为上密院的洛本,即备受尊敬的仪式师。在其任职期间,他传授许多密续教法,直到四十七岁时退任。接下来的一年,他遵照他的主要上师之一的第二世达赖尊者根敦嘉措的郑重要求,出任哲蚌洛色林寺的堪布。

 

继承宗喀巴法座

索南扎巴在哲蚌洛萨林寺任职了堪布五年,勤政务实,界定寺院的传统并广受教法。到了1529年,五十二岁的班禅索南扎巴更接任宗喀巴的法座,成为第十五任甘丹赤巴。当他登上甘丹法座就任时,念诵了以下偈颂:

愿于弘扬宗喀巴
法王正法理则际
止息障碍之征兆
一切顺缘悉圆满

后来,索南扎巴在拉萨的传召大法会上,又朗诵了以下偈颂:

我及他人之三世
依止相属二资已
祈愿善慧名称佛
教法永住盛增长

这二首偈颂被称为“善规传承的祈愿文”,是格鲁派行者都念诵的主要回向文。迄今为止,格鲁世系的所有祖古、上师、格西和在家居士依旧念诵这伟大的班智达所传承下来的偈文。这些偈文显示出一位博学大师的勇气与依止精神,完美地体现了格鲁传承及其创始人的精神。

值得指出的是,索南扎巴坚韧不拔的心相续也延续到他的转世——杜固扎巴坚赞身上。这一回,他终于履行了他的前世杜津扎巴坚赞许下的誓愿,即在五浊时期护持第二佛陀宗喀巴大师法脉清净的传承

索南扎巴担任甘丹赤巴七年,广作贤妙纯白事业,并在各地主持宗教活动。

传召大法会活动期间,他会给大众开示。传召大法会是拉萨的年度殊胜佛教庆典,由宗喀巴大师于1409年发起,目的是祈愿世界和平与繁荣。

赤钦索南扎巴的任期结束后便退居甘丹寺。从那时起,他不时前往觉摩隆、帕摩却德、尼顶和却德仁青林寺转法轮。

登上甘丹、色拉与哲蚌寺的法座

班禅索南扎巴六十六岁那年,第二世达赖尊者根敦嘉措圆寂。哲蚌寺颇章及施主双方一致请求他接任哲蚌寺的法台。他又应请求,就职了四年。这是他在担任甘丹法台之余的附加职务。

此外,他也应色拉寺僧众的请求,担任色拉大乘洲的法台,灌溉这所伟大的最高学府,在位九年。因此,班禅索南扎巴可说是历史上独一无二曾担任格鲁三大寺院堪布的大师

1552年,索南扎巴担任第三世达赖尊者索南嘉措(1543-1588年)的经师。年幼的达赖尊者住在班禅索南扎巴位于哲蚌寺的拉章,在班禅座下学习,接受许多法教和灌顶,主要为密集金刚法门和相关释义。据悉,班禅索南扎巴虽精通各大主要密续教法,但其主要的修持是《密集金刚》。

担任堪布期间,班禅索南扎巴为达赖尊者授沙弥戒,由桑普法王曲杰勒巴顿珠(Choje Legpa Dondrub)担任羯磨师。七十二岁的班禅索南扎巴在土鸡年赐名第三世达赖尊者法号“索南”。

自此,班禅索南扎巴将达赖尊者的传承法号从“根敦”改成“嘉措”,按照字面,这是“大海”的意思。学者普遍认为,班禅借此预言达赖尊者的法业将如大海般广阔无垠。经过精心的栽培和调教,第三世达赖尊者成了将佛法引入蒙古部落的善知识。事实上,“达赖喇嘛”这个称号就是蒙古人所取,意为“如大海一样的上师”。

班禅的部分弟子是那个时代举足轻重的大德善知识,当中包括第二十一任甘丹赤巴格勒贝桑(1505-1567年)、在扎什伦布寺修习的拉尊索南贝桑、第二十五任甘丹赤巴班觉嘉措(1526-1599年)以及第二世德木班觉扎西。

乃穹护法与班禅索南扎巴

佛教护法乃穹多杰扎登曾来到班禅索南扎巴面前,提醒他前世作为杜津扎巴坚赞时所许下的誓言,即成为格鲁教的护法

嘉杰赤江仁波切在其著作《愉悦如海护法之妙音》这么叙述乃穹给班禅的叮咛:

“杰絳央噶威洛卓(文殊喜慧)曾郑重地要求我以保护甘丹派教法为主,但我过去曾在大阿阇黎莲花生跟前发过誓,要保护总体佛教,所以无法担任甘丹教法的特别护法。目前在主持甘丹教法的人士中,班钦您的教证功德最高,再说您过去也发过心,所以请您承诺,现起保护甘丹教法的桀傲身吧!”

当时,大师并没有表态,且表示会先查证誓言是否属实。或许当时他成为佛教护法的时机尚未成熟,所以班禅索南扎巴直至转世为杜固扎巴坚赞(1619-1656年)时才实践了这个承诺。

 

班禅索南扎巴的留世著作

自三十六岁起,班禅索南扎巴便撰写了多部显密经论,在这方面作出的贡献不可估量。正如宗喀巴大师所说:

“佛教事业语最胜。”

班禅索南扎巴的论著包括《密集金刚》,以及对《般若经》、《中观》、《律论》、《释量论》和《俱舍论》的释义。他撰写的论疏是传统格鲁寺院研读五部大论的基本依据

那旺晋巴教授在班禅索南扎巴的著作《续部总释•攝引有缘心意》英译本中前言有提到:

“班禅索南扎巴在讲经、辩论和著述上才能出众。”

那旺教授补充,班禅在其著作《中观要义•奥义明灯》的跋文中写道:

在讲说圣教上,我无与伦比;
无著世亲兄弟知道我将超越他们的成就,
早已转生他界。

在辩论上,我无与伦比;
陈那和法称论师知道我将找出他们的矛盾之处,
加以检视并逐一驳斥,
早已巧妙地回避我。

在著述上,我无与伦比;
圣勇大师只擅于如‘林间蝉鸣’般弘扬佛陀事迹,
而我力学笃行,
在讲经、辩论和著述上已无可匹比。

晋巴教授援引班禅索南扎巴的这段话后,也举出了嘉杰赤江仁波切对其的见解:

“对某些人来说,这段话也许万般地荒谬,但我们时代最渊博的大师、才华横溢的上师、逻辑学家和作家、尊者达赖尊者后期的精神导师永津赤江金刚持(多杰羌)说:“如今,我们年代那些自认博学多闻的学者认为此说法完全是胡扯;而他们都错了。”

班禅自信地表现出其知识和技能,至尊嘉杰赤江仁波切非但没有否定,还公开捍卫这位伟大的学者。从他的语气里,透出了他对由衷地认为班禅的观点是合理的。这番话也清楚地说明索南扎巴阐述佛法的勇气和坚定的信心,这正是佛陀和菩萨的品德之一

班禅索南扎巴撰写的四十五部文集涉及各个主题,当中包括显密注解、本尊仪轨、历史、宗教史等等。其中一些文本至今仍为格鲁派寺院的主要教材(藏语Yigcha),如哲蚌洛色林寺和甘丹夏孜寺,以及蒙古的许多其他寺院。这验证了班禅杰出著作的精辟与准确之处。

 

文本的意义

大师班禅索南扎巴的著作《续部总释•攝引有缘心意》。欲阅读完整的PDF档案,请点击此处

北印度达兰萨拉的西藏档案文献图书馆(LTWA)出版了班禅索南扎巴所撰写的《续部总释•攝引有缘心意》。达兰萨拉是第十四世达赖尊者尊者的官方住所,也是藏人行政中央的所在地。西藏档案文献图书馆由达赖尊者和藏人行政中央所创办,目的是保护西藏的古代文本。各类宗教与世俗文本,都在此被译成英语和多种其他语言。

班禅索南扎巴的《续部总释•攝引有缘心意》就是其中一部拥有英译本的著作。有趣的是,这本书的前言就提及班禅索南扎巴的前世是持律主杜津扎巴坚赞,他是宗喀巴大师的五大门徒之一。此外,此处也提及班禅索南扎巴后来转世为杜固扎巴坚赞。由此可见,西藏档案文献图书馆承认持律主杜津扎巴坚赞、班禅索南扎巴和杜固扎巴坚赞源自同一个心相续

此说法是值得探讨的。既然杜固扎巴坚赞的前世是著名且学识渊博的作家班禅索南扎巴,他不但著有四十五部文集,担任过格鲁三大寺的堪布和第十五任甘丹赤巴(宗喀巴大师法座的持有人),还担任第三世达赖尊者的经师,且本身也是一名大师,那么班禅索南扎巴不可能转世成为一个有着凶恶心相续的邪灵——杜固扎巴坚赞

杜固扎巴坚赞(主)、大黑天(右上)和多杰雄登(右下)的唐卡,点击放大。欲查看更多高清的佛像,请按此处

宗喀巴大师的心子转世为博学大德班禅索南扎巴和杜固扎巴坚赞后,岂会因为恶咒而突变成叫作多杰雄登的邪灵呢? 这个逻辑无法成立,因为一个已证悟的大师,其心相续是不会突然退转而变得邪恶的。这说法就好比说文殊菩萨若作了恶咒也会变成邪灵,简直荒谬!

难以置信的是,以上信息皆由达赖尊者和西藏领导层的指导和监督下运作的西藏档案文献图书馆所发行。他们自相矛盾,西藏领导人一方面说多杰雄登是杜固扎巴坚赞念了恶咒而突变成的邪灵,另一方面,却又印制了这本书来赞颂杜固扎巴坚赞的心相续!

在发生多杰雄登争议之前,西藏没有人不知道多杰雄登就是杜固扎巴坚赞,而他的前世则是班禅索南扎巴,以及持律主津扎巴坚赞。每个人都知道他们同属一个心相续,因此才被统称为三扎巴,并在这遍土地上受众人爱戴。

西藏档案文献图书馆印刷了班禅索南扎巴著作的译本,赞扬他崇高的品德,承认他的前世是持律主杜津扎巴坚赞,后来转世为杜固扎巴坚赞。然后西藏领导人却又宣称杜固扎巴坚是邪灵多杰雄登?这太牵强了,显然在自相矛盾。

此举显示出藏族领导的紊乱无序,因为他们根本不清楚自己印刷的是什么,结果前后矛盾!这本书在多杰雄登争议之前就已经出版,如今西藏领导层扭曲历史真相,企图要多杰雄登作为代罪羔羊,为他们犯下错误顶罪,却很讽刺的恰恰在自家的出版物中暴露了他们的谎言

《续部总释•攝引有缘心意》前言

前言

噢,确吉索南扎巴 (Chos-rje bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal!)
您广大行菩提心
此乃佛陀宣说百遍之美德
您的功德好比太阳光芒四射
您讲经、辩论和著述的才能
灿烂地照耀这世间
您已圆满掌握显密经论
学识渊博仿如满园绽放的鲜花
你言辞有力如日光高照
名声已响彻三界
噢,索南扎巴,善知识的上师!
我在您足前顶礼

在您广大无垠的法教园林
年轻妙慧云集
听闻“六边四理”
如被百瓣汇成的奇花
点滴酝酿的十万甘露所引
愿我能如实体验
奥妙密续的真谛!

金刚密乘法宝持有者班禅索南扎巴(Panchen Chos-rje bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal)是一位大师,他的杰出修行与学术成就被全西藏有识之士所熟知。他的第一个转世身份是宗喀巴大师的五大门徒之一,持律主扎巴坚赞(Grags-pa rgyal-mtshan)。接着是本书的作者班禅索南扎巴(Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal),后来再转世为杜固扎巴坚赞(mNga’s-ris sPrul-sku Grags-pa rgyal-mtshan)。此系列转世皆带有扎巴(grags-pa)名号。

14世纪,班禅索南扎巴(Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal)出生在西藏中部的山南市(Lho-kha)的泽当(rTsed-thang)。随后,他到色拉大乘寺(Se-ra theg-chen-gling)师从具德上师屯月当丹(Dhonyo dang-ldan)和第二世达赖尊者根敦嘉措(dge-‘dun rgya-mtsho),听受了许多法。

过程中,他掌握了无边甚深之显密教义和释义,并以卓越的学习能力而闻名。他也获得上师们授予完整的灌顶、口传、引导和指示。此外,他也被达赖尊者任命为洛色林寺(Blo-gsal-gling)的堪布,这是哲蚌(’Bras-dpung)寺的四大扎仓(经学院)之一,哲蚌寺在1959年之前是西藏最著名的佛学院,最盛时期寺僧编制高达万人。在接下来的六年里,他继续担任这所经学院的堪布。后来继任的堪布也都固定任期六年,这个传统一直延续至今。

接着,他被任命为格鲁之首——甘丹(dGa’-ldan)法座持有人,成为第二佛宗喀巴大师格鲁传承的第十五任继承人。一世班禅克珠杰格勒巴桑(mKhas-grub dGe-legs dpalbzang)悼颂他时说:

怙主,
不屈的再世如来,
佛教法王之摄政,
真理开山之鼻祖,
无畏降临狮座人,
愿您成就永驻世!

他继续担任堪布长达七年,期间他不间断地在西藏及各地弘扬宗喀巴大师和格鲁传承的珍贵法教。 他还特别关注各所寺院如色拉寺(Se-ra)、哲蚌寺(’Bras-spungs)、觉摩隆寺(sKyo-mo-lung)、帕莫确德( Phag-mo chos-sde)、聂定(Nye-sdings)、沃那寺(’Od-sna)和却德仁钦寺(Chos-sde rin-chen)的院规及佛法修习,大大地提升了寺院的素质。此外,他还担任第三世达赖尊者(bSod-nams rGya-mtsho)经师。尊者的法名“索南”(bSod-nams)就是索南扎巴授予的。

他在著述上的付出影响深远,是所有贡献中最功德无量的。宗喀巴一点也没说错:

“佛教事业语最胜。”

班禅索南扎巴贝(Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal)是一位在讲说、辩论和著述上的非凡之辈。他在其著作《中观要义•奥义明灯》的跋文中写道:

在讲说圣教上,我无与伦比;

无著世亲兄弟知道我将超越他们的成就,
早已转生他界。

在辩论上,我无与伦比;陈那和法称论师知道我将找出他们的矛盾之处,加以检视并提出论述,
早已巧妙地回避我。

在著述上,我无与伦比;圣勇大师只擅于如‘林间蝉鸣’般弘扬佛陀事迹,而我力学笃行,在讲经、辩论和著述上已无可匹比。

对某些人来说,这段话也许万般地荒谬,但我们时代最渊博的大师、才华横溢的上师、逻辑学家和作家、达赖尊者后期的精神导师永津赤江金刚持(多杰羌)说:“如今,我们年代那些自认博学多闻的学者认为此说法完全是胡扯;而他们都错了。”

班禅索南扎巴贝(Panchen b.Sod-nams grags-pa-dpal)撰写超过四十五部涉及不同主题的著作,例如显密注解、本尊仪轨、历史、宗教历史等等。在他的众多著作中,那些想要实修一般佛法,尤其是金刚乘教法的信众,绝对不能略过《续部总释•摄引有缘心意》 (Legs bshad rgyud sde spyi’i rnam par bzhag pa skal bzang gi yid ‘phrod)。大师在这本书里详细地解释了四部密续之别,也充分描述传统金刚乘的两种次第,并以“六边四理”来阐述,从而无误地诠释了本初佛金刚总持的密意。

祝愿西藏档案文献图书馆重印与再版的此书,能为世人带来和平与幸福!

成立拉章

班禅索南扎巴进入净光之前,在哲蚌寺设立了自己的拉章,被称为仁康贡玛或上馆。

此拉章之所以名为上馆,是因为它就建在高处,那是阿巴扎仓辩经院上方的一座山丘上。由于班禅索南扎巴曾担任三大主寺的堪布,还兼任甘丹赤巴一职,这所拉章也成了权威和影响力的象征。除了索南扎巴,格鲁传承中再没有一位大师或祖古曾拥有这般成就地位。

拉章因此享有盛名,班禅索南扎巴后来的转世都在此居住,直到杜固扎巴坚赞的时代才结束。另外, 班禅索南扎巴的转世世系正式沿用仁康贡玛的封号。 因此,杜固扎巴坚赞正式称为哲蚌仁康贡玛的第四任转世祖古。此拉章也是朝圣者前往哲蚌寺供养和绕行的热门景点。

班禅索南扎巴的圣物

1554年,班禅索南扎巴入寂灭,他遍布各地的伟大弟子为他进行大规模的祈愿和仪式。在他示寂的十五个昼夜中,他一直处在图当(thugdam,圆寂后的净光禅定状态)中。

图当禅定结束后,他的圣躯奇迹般地缩小成一尺高,这意味着他已通过密集金刚修持成就虹光身。

他的圣体按照传统荼毘后,灰烬里发现了许多殊胜的舍利。他的心、舌和眼并未焚化,而且另外还化现一颗心脏,以及一个小小的十一面大悲观自在像和许多表面自然浮现种子字的舍利。 他的弟子们在哲蚌寺造了一座新的舍利银塔,将这些圣物安奉于塔内。

那颗新长出的心脏被安置在班禅索南扎巴金像的心间,连同大悲观自在像一起被安奉在仁康贡玛。 可惜的是,班禅索南扎巴的拉章和其他遗物在杜固扎巴坚赞时期遭到破坏,未能幸免。

 

赞颂班禅索南扎巴

至尊嘉杰赤江仁波切在其著作《愉悦如海护法之妙音》中特别赞扬班禅索南扎巴的美德,他还将第二世达赖尊者根敦嘉措写给班禅的赞颂概括在里头:

“对大师这种博通一切显密经轮、内外明及传记、历史等的卓越智慧,一切智根敦嘉措曾赞叹说:

宿积福德纯金性,观慧地基极广大,
显密百伦水迴漩,名称泡沫具笑颜,
词藻波涛浪花溅,史传美丽珍珠鬘 ,
空前善说新著论,修辞学者耳庄严!”

1996年1月24日,来自印度大吉岭圣约瑟夫学院的那旺晋巴教授将以下《班禅索南扎巴赞》纳入在《续部总释•攝引有缘心意》的前言:

噢,确吉索南扎巴
您广大行菩提心
此乃佛陀宣说百遍之美德
您的功德好比太阳光芒四射
您讲经、辩论和著述的才能

KECHARA FOREST RETREAT PROGRESS UPDATES

    Looking at these pictures remained me of my first pilgrimage to Wu Tai San. With the blessings of our guru, we able to visit Wu Tai San a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site . In fact it never did come to my mind that I am fortunate given a chance to go as I am still very new then. Upon hearing about the pilgrimage I got myself register without much thought. The history and stories of Wu Tai San has inspired me to go there. Interesting the Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of China are closely connected to WuTai San. Wu Tai San located in Shanxi Province, China renowned as the home of Lord Manjushri the bodhisattva of wisdom, with different emanations of the bodhisattva residing on each of the five peaks. The area is dotted with over 50 temples and monasteries, many of which are historical and architecturally significant. Those temples built over 7 dynasties housing numerous Buddhist relics. Wutai Shan also offers stunning scenery, including snow-capped peaks, forests, and streams. Wu Tai San is one of the four Sacred Buddhist mountains of China, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wutai Shan was known to be a mystical and sacred site inhabited by divine spirits, accompanied by unusual events, such as miraculous light appearances at night.
    We visited all the Holy sites, making offerings and doing prayers at each sites. We even have the opportunity to collect holy stones for future statue insertion or to keep on our altars. Times flies as our pilgrimage ended with so many stories to share with the rest.
    Thank you Rinpoche and writes team sharing those pictures.

    Padmasambhava, the Lotus-born Guru, also known as Guru Rinpoche is a legendary tantric Buddhist master who is widely revered in Tibetan Buddhism. He is seen as the second Buddha particularly within the Nyingma .He was a legendary Indian Buddhist mystic credited with introducing Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century. As found in Buddhist scriptures Padmasambhava birth is often associated with legends and prophecies. Interesting…… Padmasambhava is depicted with eight manifestations, each reflecting a different aspect of his miraculous activities. Interesting article .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Milarepa Cave, situated high in the Himalayan mountain of Tibet, a sacred cave beckons pilgrims and spiritual seekers from across the globe. Milarepa Cave, a site of profound significance in Tibetan Buddhism, is merely a geological wonder. This sacred cave is also a living testament to the power of meditation and devotion. Its where an 11th-century yogi and poet who spent transformative years in solitary practice. Milarepa Cave graces Tibet’s rugged yet stunning landscapes, a region renowned for its deep spiritual heritage and breath-taking natural beauty. The cave’s importance is inseparable from a revered figure and the enduring legacy of Jetsun Milarepa a revered yogi and poet in Tibetan Buddhism. Milarepa Cave stands not just as a geological formation but as a powerful symbol of spiritual transformation and the enduring strength of Tibetan Buddhism. Reading this interesting cave had me Google for more information about this sacred cave. Numerous stories and legends surround Milarepa’s time in the cave, enhancing its mystical aura.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting post.

    I wanted to take a moment to share a recent experience with you regarding my Instagram account. Unfortunately, my account was hacked, which was both frustrating and disappointing. Losing access to something that plays a significant role in my business and personal connections was incredibly stressful.What made the situation even more challenging was discovering that Meta does not have a dedicated support team to assist users facing account compromises. With so many people experiencing this issue daily, it’s alarming that their recovery process is not more accessible or efficient.After numerous failed attempts to recover my account through Meta’s standard procedures, I was fortunate enough to get in touch with a member of the Meta recovery department, @Rothsteincode on X (formerly Twitter), and via email at rothsteincode@gmail.com Their expertise and guidance were invaluable, and thanks to their assistance, I was able to regain full access to my account.
    While I am incredibly grateful for their help, this experience has highlighted a major issue—Meta needs to implement better security measures and provide more reliable support for users dealing with these kinds of problems. The lack of direct customer support is unacceptable, considering how vital social media platforms have become for businesses and individuals alike.I wanted to share this with you in case you or anyone you know ever faces a similar issue. If you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation, I highly recommend reaching out to @Rothsteincode for assistance. Hopefully, Meta will take action to improve their security policies and customer service in the near future.Thank you for taking the time to read this. Stay safe online, and let’s continue to support each other in this digital space.

    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.
    Thank you Rinpoche for great sharing interesting read

    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.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    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 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.
    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
