第六世札瑪法王DAKMAR TULKU零距離的解答

      第六世祖古札瑪法王DAKMAR TULKU介紹説:我六歲的時候被確認是活佛轉世,我九歲那年媽媽就送我去了寺廟,在那里我學習與生活。我傳承握洛沙灌頂也就是拙火,它是密宗六種成就法。這次來美國主要在加州敎學,那里華人很多,每個學生學習一個半月,以國語敎學。我11月6日至17日在白玉寺,18日還繼續回加州敎課。
     第六世祖古札瑪法王六歲被任轉世活佛,9歲進了寺廟,十歲就在南印度的南卓林寺正式登基,為貝瑪吉美旺札圖多袞波,第六世達摩法王,也是扎瑪寺第13代的傳承者。我問法王您的母親送您進寺廟難過嗎?祖古札瑪法王回答:如果一個家庭有孩子被認轉世活佛,在西藏我們的文化傳統里這是一件很高興的事情,因爲我們家有六個孩子,也許我母親沒有那么難過。祖古札瑪法王慈悲善良,他從小就明白自己身上肩負的重大責任,孜孜不倦地讀寫功課,努力學習經文,接受堪布(即藏語中所謂的佛學敎授)們的傳法灌頂。他聰慧過人,在十四歲時已就讀九年的大學課程,25歲便成為優秀的「堪布Kyorpon」佛學敎授。
     而我在他來白玉寺的10天感受到他莊嚴的弘法,也學到了一點佛學知識:原來活佛是“再來者”,也就是前世有所成就,乘願再來的轉世者。他與一般凡夫是不同的。活佛因願力而來,凡夫因業力而來。活佛中有能勝任上師的,也有不能勝任上師的。活佛也需要修證自己。雖然前世獲得證悟,今世現凡夫相還是要修證,因爲我們每個人接受衆生相時,都是有挂礙、有染垢的。當然活佛降生時會與其他衆生不同,如出現天降甘露、出彩虹、冬天開花等瑞相。他的悟性也比一般衆生高,他有資格摩頂、加持灌頂。活佛須經大成就者、傳承的認定,確認是成就者的轉世,舉行坐床儀式後才可以稱“活佛”。
     親愛的讀者,克里夫蘭白玉寺邀請了第六世祖古札瑪法王來弘揚佛法,讓您與我一樣零距離的感受佛法,懂得人生活着的意義,機會難得,第六世祖古札瑪法王11月18日要離開克里夫蘭去加州講課。

Dragmar Wangchen Ling Monastery in Tibet

Ngagyur Dragmar Wangchen Ling was (one of biggest branch monastery of Khatok and Payul) founded in the 16th century by the geat meditation master Sala Rigzin Gyatso. During a retreat of many years in a nearby cavern, this renowned geat Master had a vision of the monastery as being a place a great benefit for the generation to come. Soon after, many students gathered and the first monastery was built. It is said that, at the moment of his death, Sala Rigzin Gyatso's enlightenment was such that he attained the state of rainbow body.
Since then, in the following centuries th e monastery expanded under the guidance of 13 Successive great masters who gave profound teachings on meditation. In the past, there used to be over 1000 monks and nuns living there but now the number has dropped to approximately 200.
Life at the monastery is totally devoted to study and practice. From early in the morning to late at night, all monks and nuns spend their days into prayer and study of holly scriptures. Besides, each season they also take part in the Gongdu Kagye Dorsem Shitro, an extremely Elaborate religious ceremony that last up to 8 days, w hich is performed for the benefit of all Sentient beings.
The young monks and nuns also take time to learn how to write and read. A retreat center is provided way above the monastery for the monks and nuns who wish to practice solitary meditation in prolonged retreats. And for the most experienced caves in the near by mountain provide a difficult and challenging environment indeed, but the benefits of such a retreat have been demonstrated repeatedly over the centuries by many great meditation masters.

E. has brought electricity and has built a Gondue Temple and dharma protector temple, a lot still needs to be done in a near future, the most urgent help needed is to built school and houses for monks and nuns.
