印度敏卓林佛學院結夏安居

五十萬盞明燈燈供大法會

萬燈綻光明彰顯本自具足佛性

齋僧燄續佛燈饒益法界有情

昔日，成就者巴楚仁波切在日當山洞修行時，曾對一位修行人說︰「你能回憶前世嗎？我能回憶前幾百世之事，曾有一世為妓時，供養了大成就者黑星一個金手鐲，自此以後從未轉生過傍生及愚痴者。」大迦葉尊者亦曾向一位年老乞丐婆化緣乞食，當老婆婆以恭敬之心供養迦葉尊者半碗將壞之飯湯，迅而離苦得樂，轉生至忉利天，周身光明，從而促使帝釋天王亦歡喜來到南瞻部州供僧植福。世尊於《屋世經》中亦云︰「阿難，如來安住法界中，而合掌功德不可耗盡，何況布施等餘功德。阿難，依靠佛、法、僧所生善根，輪迴中永不耗盡，皆為成就佛果之因。」

諸位佛子菩薩們，如法齋僧與布施燈具光明之功德不可思議；故而敬邀您，護持敏卓林佛學院將於8月16 至 9月29日 (藏曆6月15至7月30)之結夏安居。依由開山祖師德達林巴尊者自創寺以來340年餘之傳承，全寺435位僧眾於結夏安居45天期間，舉行明燈燈供大法會。敏林堪千仁波切表示：「人天長夜，災噩連年。今年結夏安居的法會，將供養五十萬盞明燈，致力於迴向四川、緬甸及西藏事件中之罹難者與倖存者皆能解脫大怖畏，濟以法界安寧；願饒益有情，世界趣向和平、繁榮。」

我們都是幸運得聞佛法之人，並有福報得以積資淨障，故願您我緣於法界所有眾生的利益，以清淨的發心廣行一切善，以此緣起，自利利他，功不唐捐。

Yarne, The Summer Retreat

The 45 days of Yarne, our summer retreat during the rainy season, began at 5:00 am on July 30th and concluded on September 11th. Khenpos and Lonpons gave teachings each day. This was followed by a 3-5 day holiday break for the monks.

Yarne is a principal monastic rite which has continued since Buddha's time. It is held in the summer during the rainy season and is commonly known as the "Summer" or "Rain" Retreat. Yarne lasts for 45 days, from the 15th day of the 6th lunar month to the 30th day of the 7th lunar month of the Tibetan calendar. The retreat is held in accordance with the instructions of the Buddha in the Vinaya Sutra directing all monks to observe certain restrictions and engage themselves in meditation and practices for this period. ‘Sojong’ or confessions are offered by the sangha on two occasions during this retreat. On the evening of the 30th, the last day of the retreat, selected monks give teachings and expound the Dharma to the community. Many butter lamps are offered and pujas are done during the retreat.

Rain Retreat

500,000 Lamps Lighting Ceremony

The lamps are blooming bright, underlining the self-sufficiency of Buddha’s nature.

Let’s benefits the sentient beings of the Dharma realms

by offering feasts to the Sangha and by lighting lamps.

Once in the past, when His Holiness Dzogchen Ranyak Patrul Rinpoche was attending his spiritual practice in a cave, He asked a practitioner , “Can you recall your past lives? I can recall mine up to few centuries ago, and that in one of my lives’ time, I happened to reincarnate into a prostitute. During that life, I gave a gold bracelet as dana to a grand sage named Black Star, and since then, I have never been borne as animals or man of stupidity.” There was also another event where Mahakasyapa alms food from an old lady. Respectfully, this poor old lady offered him with half a bowl of rice-soup which was about to turn bad. Soon after this good deed, this old lady then was liberated from all forms of sufferings and transmigrated to Tusita, with her illuminant body, King Indra (King of the Thirty-three Heaven) was so amazing and this attracted him to plant meritorious deeds in Catur Dvipa (the Saha World). As stated in one of the Buddhist scriptures, Buddha said, “Ananda, the Tathagatha has been existed in the Dharma realm, and the meritorious act of merely putting palms together can never be worn off, and not to mention about the meritorious virtues acquired from other forms of dana. Ananda, the virtuous roots of taking refuge to the Triple Gems can never be worn off during the course of reincarnation, and all these served as the roots of attaining Buddhahood.”

Sons of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, if you offer feast to the Sangha and offer dana to light up lamps, the meritorious virtues areinconceivable. We therefore would like to invite you to participate in the 45-Days Rain Retreat as organized by Mindrolling Ngagyur Nyingma College,

starting from 16^th August to 29^th September 2008

(which is the mid of sixth to end of seventh Tibetan month). Ever since the establishing of this temple by our primogenitor, omniscientTri Chögyal Terdag Lingpa more than 340 years ago, all 435 monks of the temple had then started the tradition of organizing a 45-Days Rainy Retreat annually, and during these 45 days, they would hold Lamps Light Ceremony as well. As said by His Eminent Khenchen Rinpoche, “During these present days, disasters are incessant. During this coming Rainy Retreat, we shall be lighting 500,000 lamps, and shall transfer the merits to all the victims and survivors of the tragedies in Sichuan , Myanmar and Tibet , wishing that they could be liberated from all forms of fear and terror. Also, I hope all sentient beings can be benefited by this ceremony, and may the Dharma realm be full of serenity, peace and prosperity.”

We are fortunate to be able to learn to the Dharma, and it’s a blessing that we can have the chance to accumulate pure kharma like this. As such, you and I are destined to benefit yourselves and also all the sentient beings, performing all the good deeds with a pure heart.
