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。

    Beautiful paintings explaining about the life of Lama Tsongkapa. That’s great sharing more readers will get to know and understand Lama Tsongkapa the great Tibetan Buddhist monk, philosopher and tantric yogi. Reading his brief biography and his great life story in 15 beautiful and meaningful paintings. Fortunate to practice the Guru Yoga of Lama Tsongkhapa as it is a short, profound and concise practice which has vast, innumerable benefits. This very powerful, yet accessible practice as it does not require initiation or empowerment. Looking at those beautiful thangka as in this blog is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Inspiring teachings from Pabongka Rinpoche. Taking refuge in Tibetan Buddhism is the foundation of all Buddhist practice, marking the entrance to the path by committing to the Three Jewels . It is a profound and active process of seeking protection from suffering by consciously adopting a Buddhist direction in life. The act of going for refuge marks the point where we decides to take the Dharma as the primary guide to the conduct in one’s life. Taking refuge is a form of aspiration, leading us a life with the Triple Gem at its core.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

    From ancient times to the colonial era courtesans are deeply rooted in the historical fabric of India. Their culture refers to the historical role of high-class, educated female entertainers in societies. These women held significant cultural and social influence, acting as patrons of the arts. They are known for exceptional skills in classical music, dance and poetry. It was during the British colonial rule and the rise of modern social values , these cultures seems to decline. Many women nowadays began to receive equal recognition, appreciation, and stature been noticed. And yet there is still in some place women were seconded in some societies. When it comes to mind training and the development of compassion and wisdom, gender does not matter. In Buddhism, there’s no discrimination toward women, both men and women are equal. It has proven that many women have gained full enlightenment in a female body.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this inspiring sharing.

    Mount Wutai is a sacred Buddhist mountain. The cultural landscape is home to forty-one monasteries. Its central area is surrounded by a cluster of flat-topped peaks or mesas roughly corresponding to the cardinal directions. Significance of Mount Wutai is one of the Four Sacred Mountains in Chinese Buddhism. Each of the mountains is viewed as the bodhimaṇḍa of one of the four great bodhisattvas. Wu Tai San is the home of the Bodhisattva of wisdom Manjushri. Beautiful architectural temples have been built since from the 1st century AD to the early 20th century. The temples are inseparable from their mountain landscape. Those monasteries of Mount Wutai remain an important repository of Buddhist culture. Every year it has attract thousands of pilgrims from across a wide part of Asia. Mount Wutai is an exceptional testimony to the cultural tradition of religious mountains that are developed with monasteries. The temples demonstrate a long history of construction and reconstruction. Wutai Shan is worth visiting for its rich Buddhist culture, historical temples, and stunning natural scenery. Visitors can experience a spiritual atmosphere, see numerous temples. I am fortunate joining Kechara group visiting these Holy places at Wu tai Shan years back, witnessing the beauty of the mountain landscape, even though that time some areas still be under construction and can be crowded. Beyond its cultural sites, the mountain offers impressive natural scenery with lush greenery, mountain streams, and panoramic views.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing as it reminds me of my pilgrimage trip.

    The right attitude when receiving offerings is one of gratitude, humility, and joy, recognizing the act as an expression of the giver’s generosity and a means to fulfil their spiritual path. It is important to accept gifts graciously, as refusing them can be impolite or seen as rejecting someone’s kindness. Appreciate the giver’s generosity and understand that the offering represents a sacrifice of their own resources. Rejoice in the giver’s generosity: Be happy for the giver’s spiritual practice of making the offering, which helps them to reduce their own attachments to material possessions. In Buddhism, receiving offerings requires an attitude of rejoicing in the giver’s generosity, understanding the offering as a practice for the donor, and a commitment to use it to benefit others. Recipients should have a compassionate and selfless motivation, viewing the act as a mutual opportunity for generosity and a way to help the giver reduce their attachments. Well using the offering wisely to further spiritual practice and the benefit of all sentient beings. We encouraged to make offerings to the Three Jewels but even more so, we are encouraged to make offerings to our gurus, considered the most precious of all. A precise teachings from this post.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Khong Jean Ai.

    Offering butter lamps is a Buddhist practice symbolizing wisdom dispelling ignorance. Many benefits when we offer butter lamps such as accumulating merit, purifying negativity, achieving spiritual clarity, and receiving blessings for wealth and well-being. The act is a powerful act of devotion, helps guide the deceased, and is used to focus one’s mind for meditation. When we practices with correct motivation it lead us to greater wisdom, clarity of mind, and the ability to discern virtue from non-virtue. The ultimate goal is to use this practice as a step toward enlightenment and liberation from suffering. The flame of the lamp symbolizes wisdom, and lighting it represents the removal of the darkness of ignorance and confusion. Awesome …offering butter lamps is seen as a way to generate good karma and merit for oneself and others. As this light offerings brings happiness, liberation from suffering, enlightenment, and the ability to help others as well.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing. with the detailed explanation of why we do butter lamps. A profound teachings.

    Found this old post , an example shown to us how compassionate Rinpoche was, helping those vendors on the streets . No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Be kind whenever possible we could do to help those in need. It is always possible. In the second video showing how much care Rinpoche serving foods to workers and sharing, explaining with them about Dharma. Rinpoche kindness in action has inspired us to be kind and helping those who might fighting a hard battle. Everywhere we go, leave a glitter trail of kindness behind us if possible..

    Pilgrimage is important in Buddhism because it deepens spiritual understanding, fosters a connection to the Buddha’s life and teachings. It also provides us the opportunities for personal transformation. It helps practitioners to purify negative karma, cultivate positive merit, and strengthen their devotion to the Three Jewels. Visiting sacred sites can also inspire virtuous conduct and a sense of urgency in practicing the faith. Some places of pilgrimage have powerful energy which can bring our mind to present moment. Major sites of Buddhist pilgrimage are often found in northern India in places associated with the Buddha’s life, teaching and enlightenment. Going on a pilgrimage gives us a chance to step away from the chaos of our schedules.
    Reading this article again reminds me of my pilgrimage to Nepal years back,. It’s a once life time trip but I am glad made it twice.
    It’s a great memories for Pastor David and Paul who brought their parents om pilgrimage to India and Nepal. Awesome …they embarked on a spiritual journey in India and Nepal visited sacred temples, ancient Buddhist sites and Serpom Monastery.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this sharing

    The Nature of the mind is a central concept across various philosophical traditions, It generally refers to the mind’s intrinsic characteristics. As it believed to encompass awareness, purity, and a capacity for both peace and agitation. Most spiritual traditions offer some combination of four practices for those who would seek to know their true nature. We could self-transform through training our mind. When we face difficult situations and things go poorly in our lives, if we’re able to change our attitudes toward them, we’ll be able to transform these experiences into ones that will further our spiritual progress. A profound teachings indeed for us to understand more about the true nature of our minds and how we can transform our minds through sincerely practicing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing

I love his page on Instagram and is so informative about health issues. I was at the 3rd week of my healing journey when I decided to go for a test with out him knowing. I was shocked, my dr was also shocked , and tears of joy rolled down from eyes. Because am free from the deadly infection.

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

    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
