尊木采寺位于尊木采村,那是一个跟好一些西藏最重要的历史人物有着密切关系的地方。该地区位于西藏拉萨的达孜(སྟག་རྩེ་ཆུས་)县。藏语中“尊木”意为“公主”,而“采”则意为“寻找”。所以在藏语中,“尊木采”意味着公主找到的地方。唐代文成公主在公元七世纪访问了这个特殊的地方后,深被它的美丽所吸引,并在那里建了一个庄园,最终成为她和西藏国王松赞干布度过夏天的住处。该遗址目前已遭摧毁。由杜津扎巴坚赞建于1420年的尊木采寺就坐落在文成公主住处的后方。

文成公主,藏语中称为Munchang Kungco(མུན་ཆང་ཀུང་ཅོ),是中国唐朝皇室宗亲。唐太宗派她远嫁吐蕃(西藏),与松赞干布(公元617 – 650年)和亲。这是中国唐朝外交朝贡体系中的一部分,旨在防止其他皇朝或国家突然袭击中国。文成公主在西藏被称为“甲木萨”,或“汉女氏”。

文成公主入藏时,除了携带大量的唐代产品,如丝绸、瓷器、精美家具、乐器、珠宝和书籍外,也带了大量随行官员、学者和工匠。此外,她也带来了一尊佛像。这尊佛像——觉沃仁波切今日依然供奉在作为西藏主要寺庙和游客朝圣中心的大昭寺大殿内。

文成公主与松赞干布的尼泊尔皇妃尺尊公主共同因将佛教引入西藏而著称。 西藏民间视藏王松赞干布为观音菩萨转世,而视文成公主为观音菩萨之明妃——白度母的化身,至于尺尊公主则被视为是绿度母的化身。

据说,在文成公主的影响下,松赞干布废除了贵族脸上刺青、上色,以及穿皮戴毡的习俗。她也是引进新的农业方法和技能如冶金、编织、建筑等的功臣。这项联姻的成果是中国学者和文本被带入西藏,而西藏贵族子弟和学生则被送往中国接受教育。后来,松赞干布还向唐朝请求给予蚕种及制造酒、碾硙、纸墨的工匠。此次外交联姻给唐朝带来二十年的和平,也促进唐朝与吐蕃之间的文化交流。

文成公主的故事被收录在《王统世系明鉴》(Gyelrab Selwe Melong)里,后来还成了流行的西藏民间歌剧。它现在已经发展成为一部价值数百万美元的歌剧,在西藏首府拉萨市上演,由曾执导北京奥运开幕、闭幕仪式的著名中国导演张艺谋执导。

尊木采寺在西藏语文史上也占有重要的地位,因为该寺曾守护一个十分重要的石碑。 藏文创造者吞弥·桑布扎(公元619 – 不详)在创造藏文字后,将第一面刻上藏文字的石碑献给了松赞干布。这块石碑今日依然保存在寺里,供游客参观。

松赞干布派遣一批藏人到印度学习印度文书写系统,以期创造本身的藏文字系统。当时唯一成功返藏的只有吞弥·桑布扎一人。关于西藏文字发明的最初来源收录在一个被称为《柱间史》(བཀའ་ཆེམས་ཀ་ཁོལ་མ)的珍贵文本和一部被称为《巴协》(སྦ་བཞེད)的宗族历史中。根据《吐蕃赞普传记》记载:

“旧时西藏没有文字,但在赞波时期——自赞波赤松赞统治时期——西藏习俗的整个良好基础被创造了出来:西藏伟大的法律和政府制度、部长分级制度、等级规划,赏善罚恶,田地牧场划分等都一一拟定,所有人都对他的善意表示感谢,并称他为’心胸深邃的松赞’(松赞干布)。”

吞弥·桑布扎创建藏文字后,将之传授给松赞干布和部分皇室家族。好一些佛教经典,包括收藏在皇宫里的《玄秘神物》(gnyan po gsang ba)都被翻译成了藏文。国王本身闭关四年学习阅读和书写藏文。出关后,为西藏王朝写下《十善法律》。

 

杜津扎巴坚赞——持律主

宗喀巴大师的心子之一——杜津扎巴坚赞(点击放大图片)

尊木采寺的创始人——杜津扎巴坚赞(公元1374-1434年)是藏传佛教格鲁派中的一位重要人物。杜瓦津巴扎巴坚赞(公元1374-1434年)是宗喀巴大师的八大弟子之一,一辈子忠诚事师,成为大家的楷模。由于严守寺院清规戒律,他被赐予“持律主”,或藏文“杜瓦津巴”的称号。“杜津”就是后者的简写。

为了保护和弘扬上师备受欢迎的教法,杜津扎巴坚赞在拉萨建立了第一所格鲁寺院——甘丹寺。宗喀巴大师圆寂后,杜津扎巴坚赞被邀请担任首位甘丹赤巴,即甘丹法座持有人。杜津婉拒了,他选择将一生奉献于保护上师的法教。杜津扎巴坚赞一直留守尊木采寺直至圆寂,留下了一众伟大弟子,他所创建的寺院和许多密续著作。他的弟子包括当代知名的格鲁大师,如哲蚌寺创始人蒋扬确吉扎西贝丹(1379-1449年)。

西藏拉萨甘丹寺

当十四世达赖尊者的经师嘉杰赤江金刚持于1928年拜访该寺院时,他在自传中形容了当时的经历:

在杜康康村的安排下,我在尊木采寺逗留了一个晚上,并在保存杜津扎巴坚赞圣体的舍利塔前做供养。杜津仁波切的圣体被保存在尊木采寺是众所周知的事情,更让人津津乐道的是,曾有一度,当寺院内的灵塔需要进行修缮工作时,寺院邀请了前任甘丹寺洛巴康村的嘉色祖古及杜康康村的格西却扎来进行相关仪式。当灵塔被打开的霎那,在塔身部分,装在盒子里的圣体依然呈现良好状态。圣体维持在端坐姿势,包裹着新旧两套僧袍,头上长出许多头发。在他的腿上,还有一钵干果。清新的戒香充斥着整个地方。我过去在甘丹寺时曾听格西却扎本身说过这件事。

资料来源: 第120页, The Magical Play of Illusion: The Autobiography of Trijang Rinpoche

根据藏传佛教教诲,这显示杜津扎巴坚赞必然拥有极高成就才能让圣体保存在这种状态。这种现象跟高僧圆寂时,为了能选择投生而进入的“图当”(Tukdam)状态有关。在这种禅修状态中,圣体不会腐烂或退化,也不会散发腐臭味。这是因为那个人的心识依然保留在体内,处于深入的禅定状态中。神奇的是,肉体并不会被温度、气候和外在环境所影响。古今许多大师均曾经进入这种状态,而他们肉体不腐烂的奇迹,其实就是他们能自主控制投生的外在体现。

    Beautiful Tsunmo Tsel Monastery which is well known in the Tibetan history. Recently six of us went for a meritorious pilgrimage and visited this beautiful monastery. Tsunmo Tsel Monastery is also significant in the history of the Tibetan language as the monastery has been the guardian of a very important stone stele. There’s many historic events behind this monastery. Recording to Tibetan folk legends, Princess Wencheng was considered an emanation of White Tara, and Princess Bhrikuti Devi was considered the emanation of Green Tara. Together with King Songtsen Gampo they were credited for introducing Buddhism to Tibet. Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang visited the monastery and through his texts did mentioned of the discovery of the intact body of Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen ,in the Stupa at the monastery. Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen , the founder of Tsunmo Tsel Monastery, was an important figure in the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. We were fortunate to see the amazing scared golden stupa and pay homage to the remain of Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

    第一次听到尊木采寺(或称尊摩蔡寺),是在嘉杰赤江仁波切的著作《愉悦如海护法之妙音》中关于持律主扎巴坚赞的生平记载。

    “在妥善处理完宗喀巴大师的后事之后,为了圆满宗大师遗愿,师来到乌如上部的嘉麻达,那是法王松赞干布的降生地强巴敏珠林宫的所在地。在过去国王与王妃们经常游玩的后花园遗址上,建造起「尊摩蔡寺」,聚集并护持有八百多位僧人的僧团。”

    上述文中的师,指的就是持律主扎巴坚赞。读了仁波切博客的这篇文章后,我才明白《愉悦》一书中所提到的“在过去国王与王妃们经常游玩的后花园遗址”,指的应该就是文成公主与松赞干布的度假地。

    尊木采这个地方历史悠久,甚至可追索到吞弥·桑布扎的时代,事实上也就是松赞干布的时代,这可是比持律主的时代还早了八百多年。

    然而,我想尊木采最难得且珍贵的,就是该寺保存着持律主的圣体。嘉杰赤江金刚持于1928年拜访该寺院时,该圣体尚处于良好状态。那时距离持律主圆寂的年代已经有接近五百年之久,可见持律主即便圆寂了,依然可以透过他不腐败的肉身,向世人证明人体可以透过修行而达致的科学无法解释的境界。

    Well chaplain is an ordained member of the clergy or so call spiritual leader. That’s awesome having a chaplain in hospital, military base or even a prison giving spiritual guidance and counselling. Chaplain provides spiritual guidance and offer support to people of all faiths and beliefs. They will also assist individuals and families in difficult times within a secular institution. Those inmates and military personnel been away from families truly needed emotional and spiritual support. Within the United States army, the first Buddhist chaplain was appointed back in 2004, endorsed by the Buddhist Churches of America. The number of Buddhists in the U.S. military has grown, leading to an increased need and presence for Buddhist chaplains. Many of the chaplains are attracted to Buddhism as that it was patently un-political. Buddhism continue the trend of remaining secularly apolitical in the future, providing comprehensive spiritual support serving the diverse needs of military forces on bases worldwide. Good to know that US military forces such as the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force allow having Buddhist Chaplain in as it brings diverse spiritual support and promoting holistic well-being for all service members. Buddhist Chaplain has in-fact show that the military values diversity, with different faiths working together.
    Great sharing thank you

    In Tibetan Buddhism, a wealth vase, is a sacred object used to attract material and spiritual abundance. These vases are filled with various symbolic items and are believed to balance the elements. Having a wealth vase brings numerous benefits such as attracting material prosperity, career success, and financial growth. Not only that but also spiritual wealth, wisdom, and protection from loss. As it contained symbolic treasures and energies to boost abundance, remove obstacles, and enhance luck according to Tibetan traditions. They symbolize accumulation of assets and security of financial gains. The wealth vase is filled with precious items such as relics from high lamas, representations of the Wealth Buddha, holy items, precious and semi-precious gems and so on. Having a wealth box at Kechara Forest Retreat brought tremendous benefits .We are all very fortunate to contribute and support this blessed Wealth Box .
    Thank you Rinpoche for the growth of Dharma , having one wealth box at kechara Forest Retreat, Bentong. Interesting knowledge about it.

    H E Zava Damdin Rinpoche, is an erudite Mongolian Buddhist master within the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Zava Damdin Rinpoche was recognised as the reincarnation of one of the greatest Buddhist masters, yogis, healers, scholars and mahasiddhas in Mongolia. Zava Damdin Rinpoche is famed for his absolute guru devotion. In spite of the unlawful ban on the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden Zava Damdin Rinpoche remain devoted to the practice and has continued to see enormous growth around the world. Especially in Mongolia which has long held a strong historical and religious connection with Tibetan Buddhism. Back in 2016 H E Zava Damdin Rinpoche conferred Yamantaka initiation and Dorje Shugden sogtae . More than 10,000 ordained monks and lay people attended the initiation in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Looking at those pictures in this blog says all, all monks and lay people were so blessed indeed. It has proven that the practice of Dorje Shugden is very popular . They were more blessed and fortunate as after the initiation, they were given a ‘heart’ crystal and a chakra which were consecrated during the sogtae ceremony. They are given as a blessing and reminder of the initiate’s commitments to Dorje Shugden, and also as a symbol of Dorje Shugden’s promise to protect them.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing .

    Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing great! I wanted to share a truly incredible journey that I’ve been on recently. You see, few months ago, my marriage hit a really rough patch. It was a time filled with confusion, heartbreak, and a lot of searching for answers. I looked into so many different places for help, hoping to find someone who could guide me through this difficult time. I reached out to friends, family, and even sought advice from professionals, but unfortunately, nothing seemed to be working. It felt like I was hitting dead ends at every turn. But then, one day, while I was surfing the internet, feeling a bit lost and unsure of what to do next, I stumbled upon something truly remarkable. It was the good work of a spell caster called Priest AZ. His effective love spell stories and positive impact he had made in the lives of others with his powerful love spell caught my attention. Intrigued and hopeful, I decided to reach out to Priest AZ for help. And let me tell you, that decision changed everything. From the very first conversation, I could sense his genuine care and understanding. He listened to me without judgment and provided a safe space for me to express my feelings and concerns. Priest AZ’s Love-Spell were like a beacon of light during my darkest days. He helped me navigate the complexities of my situation. He helped me solved the underlying issues in my marriage with his effective and powerful love spell. In just a short time the results were surprising, my husband called me in less than 24hrs after the love-spell and he was apologizing for me to accept him back and definitely I accepted him back. . It wasn’t an easy journey, I’ll admit. There were moments of doubt and uncertainty along the way. But with the unwavering help of Priest AZ, Through the love spell, my husband and I were able to reignite the love that brought us together, and ultimately restore our marriage. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the intervention of Priest AZ in my life. He truly made a difference, not just in my marriage, but in my overall well-being. His kindness, compassion, and dedication to helping others are truly inspiring. If any of you out there is going through a similar situation, If you need to get your husband back to you, you need to fix a broken marriage, you need to stop a divorce or you want to restore a broken marriage/relationship. I want to encourage you to seek help from priest AZ, Contact him at Mightylovespell@gmail.com. WhatsApp: +43 680 5400 8232

    My name is Max Kai, and I’m from the USA. I was deeply in love with a woman, and even after I found out she was cheating on me, I still wanted to make things work. Unfortunately, she chose to stay with the person she cheated with, and that broke me. About six weeks later, I came across a post on a relationship forum about a spell caster named Dr. Masako who helps people reconnect with lost love through love spells. With nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out to him via WhatsApp and shared my story. To my surprise, within just 24 hours, Dr. Masako helped bring my ex back into my life and now, we’re engaged and planning our wedding. I honestly didn’t expect this to work, but it did. If you’re going through something similar and need help getting your ex back, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Masako. You can reach him on WhatsApp at +2349047144277, email him at doctormasako@gmail.com, or visit his website: doctormasako2.wixsite.com/drmasakospelltemple

    Well thought out article where Rinpoche gave a precious teaching. Encourage us to go vegetarian showing compassion to all sentient beings by not causing suffering or death. To make a conscious effort to avoid contributing to the suffering and death of animals is the best choice. Going vegetarian in Buddhism is a choice motivated by compassion. I do agree with Rinpoche that we should not be too attached to meat. Very true there is nothing to lose by going vegetarian. What enlightened and attained beings do we can’t , we follow the conventional way .
    Thank you Rinpoche for all these precious teaching

    Miyolangsangma is the Tibetan Buddhist goddess who lives at the top of Chomolungma . She is the goddess of inexhaustible giving and of Everest and the Khumbu area in general. She rides a golden tigress and hands out the jewels of wishes to those deserving.
    Mount Everest, at 8,848.86 meters , is the highest mountain on Earth and presents one of the ultimate challenges for climbers. Climbers scaling Mount Everst involves navigating extreme altitude, severe weather conditions will stop by at Tengboche Monastery . They will seek blessing from Lama Geshe a Buddhist monk, known for blessing climbers by reciting a mantra to Miyolangsangma. Climbers will be given a talisman containing Miyolangsangma’s mantra, to be worn around the neck for protection while scaling Mount Everest. That’s awesome.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.

    The Faroe Islands a volcanic are a self-governing archipelago, located between Iceland and Norway and part of the Kingdom of Denmark. As part of a tradition dolphins were slaughtered mercilessly. The killing of dolphins in Denmark refers to the traditional Grindadráp hunts which has been going on for hundred years. Each year, locals in the North Atlantic’s Faeroe Islands drive herds of sea mammals into shallow waters, where they are stabbed to death. In keeping with the annual, barbaric tradition of killing dolphins, thousands of these mammals were killed. Whales and several dolphin species are herded by boats into shallow bays or onto beaches. According to the animal rights activist, back then, this hunt was necessary for the survival of the villages. Looking at those pictures shows dolphins thrashing around in waters turned red with blood as hundreds of people watch on from the beach.
    The practice of dolphin hunting in the Faroe Islands has come under scrutiny recently. Its really cruel , hopefully more people are aware of this cruel practice and abandoned . Moreover soon or later dolphins will be extinct.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Dare to dream and having the courage to pursue our goals and aspirations, nor matter it seem difficult. Found this old post, featuring our Guru in this Star News. It is an encouragement to imagine a better future and to take the necessary steps and efforts to make that a reality. Overcoming fear, being persistent, Rinpoche dare to do and dream and made them to come true. All thanks to Rinpoche we have Kechara Forest Retreat now. When we dare to dream follow by action with our deepest aspirations and believe in ourselves when no one else does all wishes will be fulfilled.
    Thank you Rinpoche show us the light and giving us the inspiration of Rinpoche ‘s dream.

    DATUK YIP KUM FOOK AND SIMON LOW KOK MENG are scammers because they defrauded IC people in Malaysia, and many people have been victims before. They are scammed everywhere, and they are also gangsters in the Kepong area. Now, many people have found and checked their families, and people are spreading it on the internet.

    One of them is Ng Hong Seong, the victim. He suffered because he gave his National Identity Card to Datuk Yip Kum Fook to find a job. Many police officers and some gangsters contacted him about finances to borrow money from various banks. Datuk Yip Kum Fook used the police to harass people.

    Now, many people know about this group (Yip Kum Fook & Simon Low) because they were expelled by Buddhist monks from the Buddhist Temple in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, and burned down the Hindu Temple in Taman Daya, Kepong.

    We hope everyone can share this message fully to stop this evil in this world. They need to know that people are very sad and scared.

    From Ng, Kepong

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.
    8 years ago
    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
