佛誕閉關
Posted by admin on: Tuesday 15 June @ 22:19:35 (read: 267 times) |
佛誕閉關
一如往年，中心在殊勝的佛誕及翌日，舉辦千手千眼觀音閉關，而為期一天的『八關齋戒』亦同時舉行，讓法友可善用假期，一起來洗滌心靈。出乎意料的，參加人數破了記錄，其中還包括了小朋友，而男眾的數目也不少呢。
在佛誕當天，七十多位法友一同在大清早受戒，承諾在明天天亮前，恪守八戒（包括不殺生；不偷盜；不邪淫；不妄語；不飲酒；不坐高廣大床；不非時食（即過午不食）；不著華鬘嚴身和不歌舞觀聽）。然後眾人便在夏仲仁波且及喇嘛帶領下，一起唸誦千手千眼觀音法本，以及按照法本做大禮拜。在閉關期間，法友們還與仁波且及喇嘛一起浴佛，以洗淨自身的汚垢。
當夜幕低垂時，參與一天閉關的法友在完成了瑪哈嘎拉的修法後，便回家自行繼續閉關。因受戒的緣故，這些法友縱使回到家裡，也不可以看電視和吃東西等等，直至天亮。
而參加紐涅閉關的40多名法友則仍在中心留宿。在第二天，法友除了須守八戒及持續修法外，還需由第一天晚上十時開始禁語、斷水及斷食，其用意是讓參與者收攝心靈及深切體會地獄道及餓鬼道的苦難，從而生起悲憫這些受苦眾生的菩提心。在第三天的晨光出現時，法友在接受金剛水後，再喝一點粥，兩天的紐涅閉關便圓滿結束。大家一起吃早嚏A並為彼此能夠堅持到底而感到欣喜。
經云：“一日的閉關等同一年修持”，能在佛誕的殊勝日子進行這樣的修持，更是難能可貴的好因緣。希望今次未克出席的法友，不論你從前有否參與過八關齋戒或紐涅閉關，都能在來年一起來同沾法益。

Teacher : HH 14th Shamarpa

Venue : Centre
Languages : English & Cantonese
Fee : Nil
Introduction on Teacher
Buddha Shakyamuni had prophesized at the “Good Kalpa Sutra” the manifestation of a maha-bodhisattva with a
ruby-red crown. In Tibet, the successive incarnations of Karmapas (including the Black-Crown and
Red-Crown Karmapas) lead the Karma Kagyu Lineage and maintain its pure transmission for nearly nine
hundred years. The current HH 14th Shamarpa (or Red Crown Karmapa) is the deputy to HH 17th Karmapa
and the lineage holder. He is an emanation of Amitabha or Amitayu or the Buddha of the Limitless Light.
The glittering Red Crown of HH Shamarpa and the secret Black Crown of HH Karmapa both symbolize their
supreme spiritual power and merits.
Course Outline
Mahayana-sutralamkara-karika (The Adornment of Mahayana Sutras) is one of the five treaties revealed by
Bodhisattva Maitreya and is regarded as a masterpiece of the Buddhist teachings in India. The teaching was
delivered by Bodhisattva Maitreya at Tusita Heaven and was brought to the human realm through the great
Indian Master Asanga in the 4th century CE. The Tibetan schools have maintained different commentaries on
this treaty and “A Rare Commentary on the Mahayanasutralankara” to be taught by HH Shamarpa (a
continuation of a series of teachings on the book) comes from the great Sakya scholar, Tog Med Sam Bo. The
commentary of Tog Med Sam Bo consists of 21 chapters. It covers all the essences of Mahayana teachings
and enables the practitioners to have a total understanding of theories and practices, thereby leading to their
realization of the ultimate truth.

壽誕晚宴(10月24日)
第十四世紅冠法王夏瑪仁波且與 第十七世大寶法王噶瑪巴在噶瑪噶舉傳承中，同具有不可或缺的崇高地位，他們肩負著這個傳承的法脈，更是這個清淨法脈最高的精神標誌，以及一切噶瑪噶舉教法的源頭。藉著向傳承上師祝壽，我們祈願這個歷史悠久及清淨無瑕的噶瑪噶舉傳承，能夠長久延續下去，利益一切眾生。
中心將於10月24日（星期六）晚上7時在銅鑼灣百樂門宴會廳設素宴，為紅冠法王夏瑪仁波且慶祝生日。由於名額有限，故此將以先到先得的方式讓各位弟子及法友購買席劵，每位300元。
海上放生(10月26日)
參與或贊助海上放生活動乃是布施的修持，透過這樣的活動，我們可讓魚類及眾水族生物，免於死亡的怖畏，是無畏施的一種。是次海上放生活動將在10月26日重陽節假期舉行，有意參加的法友請先向中心購買船票 (每位60元) 。當天下午2時30分準時出發，請提早15分鐘於北角碼頭集合。

毘盧欽哲仁波且10月份重臨香港
Posted by admin on: Sunday 04 October @ 14:13:39 (read: 1037 times) |
最尊貴的毘盧欽哲仁波且將於10月份重臨香港，為法友信眾主持一系列殊勝的蓮師三本尊法會、灌頂及火供，機會難得，歡迎各位襄善參與，共沾法益。
最尊貴的毘盧欽哲仁波且是噶舉傳承中，其中一位非常重要的上師，他在八歲時，蒙 第十六世大寶法王噶瑪巴確認為蔣揚欽哲的意化身。蔣揚欽哲為十九世紀無分宗派之「利美運動」創立人，是一位極受尊崇的岩傳取藏大師。
活動資料
1)蓮師三本尊法會
2)蓮師三本尊灌頂
3)蓮師三本尊火供
活動簡介
蓮花生大師（簡稱蓮師）的修持法在密宗是非常重要的，所有的伏藏法門，皆是他遺留下來的法教。不論這些法門是經由寧瑪傳承傳下來，噶舉傳承或薩迦傳承護持的，均是屬於蓮師的傳承。
蓮師三本尊的修持法門更是本尊法門中之至勝者，是其他法門所不能及。蓮師三本尊法包含其寂靜及忿怒相，以及獅面空行母的總體修持；它既是成就法，也是淨除世間及出世間磨難障礙的除障法門，更是增福延壽的長壽法。
最尊貴的毘盧欽哲仁波且將在三天內，為我們完整修持蓮師的三本尊法門，當中包含三部份，其一是修法，其二是灌頂，最後的是火供，期望可讓我們圓滿整個法門的修持。因此，這是非常難得的機遇，希望各位法友一起參與。

尊貴的蘭度仁波且八,九月弘法之旅
Venerable Nedo Rinpoche HK Tour Aug/Sept
Posted by admin on: Saturday 01 August @ 23:38:25 (read: 1256 times) |
本中心專誠邀請尊貴的蘭度仁波且於八月底重臨香港，為我們舉行一連串的弘法活動。仁波且的弘法活動將橫跨八月及九月，歡迎法友一同參與，共沾法益。
尊貴的蘭度仁波且是至上的蘭度傳承的第六次轉世。十歲的時候，為第十六世大寶法王所認證。他曾修習馬爾巴的傳承大法，並接受了大手印及大圓滿等各種共與不共之灌頂與口傳，除了對教義有著透徹的瞭解，更得到實證上的成就。1982年，蘭度仁波且在印度隆德寺閉關，出關後隨即被委派為隆德寺的金剛上師 (Dorje Lopon)。
活動內容及時間表詳列如下，以供參考：
黑財神灌頂 (8月28日)
黑財神藏名藏巴拉納玻，乃是五方佛的東方金剛不動佛，為了利益娑婆眾生能脫離窮困之苦惱而化現。黑財神法來自伏藏法，其未w能驅除所有惡運糾纏，並使一切善願都能心想事成，圓滿無礙。
龍王寶瓶修法 (8月29日至30日) 及海供寶瓶暨放生 (8月31日)
龍王寶瓶被視為稀世之寶，聲名遠播海內外。若把此寶瓶祭江海，則天魔外道、兇神惡煞、妖言邪咒、羅刹惡魔、毒龍精害難以侵害。身處江海之地的人們，常食水族，易觸怒龍族，因而染龍毒，患各種疾病而無法醫治；中心特別安排在殊勝的龍喜日把寶瓶放在海中，以供奉龍王，可對這些疾病有特殊幼纂A甚至不藥而愈。海供寶瓶之日應沐浴持齋，最好穿上新衣，在供奉時亦禁止烟酒葷腥蔥蒜等不潔及不敬的行為。除了海供寶瓶外，當天還同時舉行放生，祈望法友都運勢興旺，諸事順利。
金剛薩埵盂蘭孝親普度法會 (9月1日至2日)
「盂蘭盆」是梵語，義為「救倒懸」。倒懸是形容餓鬼之苦。世人造了種種惡行，死後墮於惡道，必須得到救拔，方能出離苦海。盂蘭孝親普度法會的未w能救度眾生倒懸的痛苦，令七世父母超昇善道，現世父母增福延壽。為了秉承慎終追遠，發揚孝道的精神，及自利利他，普度十方，歡迎法友一起參與或贊助法會。是次法會將以金剛薩埵除障法為主要修法。
金剛薩埵閉關及灌頂 (9月5日)
金剛薩埵為文武百尊的總體，其除障法尤其殊勝，能淨除我們無始以來累積的染垢及業障。能在繁忙的日程中，撥出一天的時間，專注於金剛薩埵的修持，將能增加我們善業的福報，並清除現世的障礙。當日晚上將會舉行金剛薩埵的灌頂法會，未能參與早上及下午閉關的法友，亦可參與灌頂，以獲得加持。
財神水供 (9月6日)
是日法會將修持白、黃及黑財神法，讓我們可供養這三位財祿之神，還可上供三世如來、十方菩薩
及天地神明，並下施寃親債主及餓鬼眾生，將有助法友積聚福德及智慧兩種資糧。經上師特別加持的白、黃及黑財神像，法會後供眾結緣，可在家中供奉。
兩週法會的詳細時間請參照綱頁中心活動時間表
法會回條
The Venerable Nedo Rinpoche has kindly acceded to the request of the Centre to visit Hong Kong again at the end of August. He will conduct a series of dharma activities which last from late August to early September. Dharma friends are cordially invited to join the activities to share the joy of dharma.
The Venerable Nedo Rinpoche is the sixth reincarnation in the Supreme Nedo Lineage. He was recognized at the age of ten by His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje. In 1982, Nedo Rinpoche began his three-year retreat in Rumtek Monastery. There he practiced the tantras of Marpa’s tradition, the six yogas of Naropa and Mahamudra. He also received the ordinary and extraordinary initiations, oral transmission and Mahamudra and Maha Ati quintessential teachings, thus gaining not only complete understanding but also realization of these teachings. When he came out of his retreat at the age of 25, Nedo Rinpoche was appointed Vajra Master of Rumtek Monastery, a position he is holding till the present.
The content of the activities and the detailed timetable is appended below for reference:
Empowerment of Black Dzambhala (28 Aug)
Black Dzambhala, in Tibetan, is Dzambhala Nagpo. Buddha Akshobhya (the Wisdom Buddha of the East) emanates himself in this form to relieve the sentient beings from the hardships of poverty. The sadhana was taken from the terma. The merits of the practice will expel all misfortunes and enable us to have all our virtuous wishes fulfilled completely.
Puja for Naga Vase (29 – 30 Aug) / Consecration of Naga Vase cum Marine Life Release (31 Aug)
Naga Vase is considered to be a rare treasure which is well known in every corners of the world. By consecrating the Naga Vase to the river or the sea, one will not be harmed by demons of all sorts. For those who always eat seafood, they may offend the Naga family, thereby contracting all sorts of incurable diseases. The Centre has chosen to consecrate the Naga Vase to the sea on the precious “Naga’s Joyful Day” because the merits accumulated may help cure the above diseases, even without any medicine. Dharma friends should stick to vegetarian meals; take a good bath and preferably put on new clothes on that day so as to show respect to the ritual. Every participant should refrain from smoking, drinking alcohol, eating meat or food with offensive smell (e.g. onion or garlic), or any other indecent behaviour during the ritual. Apart from the consecration of the Naga Vases, there will also be marine life release simultaneously. Through accumulating such merits, it is hoped that all of us will enjoy good luck and prosperity in the days ahead.
Ullambana Puja – Vajrasattva Sadhana (1 – 2 Sept)
Ullambana is a Sanskrit word, meaning ‘to hang upside down’ which refers to the extreme suffering of the souls in purgatory. After performing bad deeds, the souls will fall into purgatory. By the merits of the puja, all souls will be led away from the purgatory and our deceased and living parents in 7 lives will have good rebirths and will be blessed with good luck and good health. You may choose to join the puja or sponsor the activity to benefit all sentient beings and ourselves. The Vajrasattva sadhana will be adopted for the puja.
Retreat and Empowerment of Vajrasattva (5 Sept)
Vajrasattva is the totality of 100 peaceful and wrathful deities. The practice is particularly powerful in purifying our obscurations and obstacles accumulated from the beginning-less time. If you are able to spare a day in your busy schedule to join the retreat, the merits of such an act will increase your good karma and remove the obstacles of this life. Rinpoche will also give us the empowerment of Vajrasattva in the evening. All dharma friends are welcome to receive the blessings of the empowerment even though they are not available for the retreat in the morning and in the afternoon.
Water Offering to Dzambhalas (6 Sept)
In the puja, participants will not only make offering to 3 Lords of Wealth (i.e. White, Yellow and Black Dzambhalas), Buddhas of the three times, Bodhisattvas in the ten directions and earthly gods but also give offering to our enemies and debtors of this life and the previous lives as well as the hungry ghosts . This will enable us to attain the accumulation of merits and wisdom. The Centre will also provide the images of White, Yellow and Black Dzambhalas which are blessed by the Venerable Nedo Rinpoche for the subscription of dharma friends so that they can consecrate them at home. Participants of the Water Offering are requested to stick to vegetarian meals throughout the day.

第十七世噶瑪巴大寶法王陛下將於2009年2月初蒞臨香港
Karmapa’s Visit 2009
Posted by admin on: Thursday 18 December @ 21:43:15 (read: 3203 times) |
藏傳佛教噶瑪噶舉傳承持教主：第十七世噶瑪巴大寶法王聽列泰耶多傑陛下將於2009年2月初蒞臨香港，法音震鼓，加持遍處。 甘露盛宴，法門弘開，歡迎十方善信踴躍參與。且請大家以喜悅平安的心迎接第十七世噶瑪巴大寶法王的蒞臨！噶瑪巴千諾！
聖者噶瑪巴是歷史上第一位以轉世方式來延續法教的祖古(活佛) 。釋迦牟尼佛在《三摩地王經》曾授記噶瑪巴為「遍知三世者」，「見佛行事業者」，將繼彌勒佛之後成為第六佛，佛號「獅子吼如來」。現第十七世噶瑪巴由紅冠法王第十四世夏瑪巴仁波且按噶舉派傳统以純粹宗教方式與精神力量所認證。
上一世噶瑪巴已曾於1980年蒞港傳法，很多因緣具足的善信都得到法王無比慈悲的加持祝福。今次香港的信眾和市民善緣成熟，將可再次延續與噶瑪巴的珍貴法緣。聖者將再一次親自傳授殊勝的噶瑪噶舉教法。使清純法脈能在香港相續不斷。
為期三天的灌頂法會 (2009年2月6日- 8日) 將會安排有皈依，設劃沙壇城及金剛舞的環節，法會簡介如下：
灌頂：聖者噶瑪巴會先授予無上瑜伽密的《密續瑜伽度母大灌頂》，再傳《廿一度母隨傍曈說n在現世天災地震頻傳，人心不安的時代，領受度母灌頂，修持度母儀軌，可得無上庇護。本尊息法可把障礙病痛消除，增法可增加繁榮壽福，懷法可調伏魔敵，誅法可摧滅瞋恚。度母法感應迅速勇猛，容易很快得到成就，如按儀軌精進修持，就能如《度母續》中載：「皆能遂願，能消眾障災。」，不用懷疑。
皈依：能皈依噶瑪巴是無上福報。皈依是一切修行的開始，其發心至為重要。誠如第十七世噶瑪巴開示：「皈依發心能引導我們走上開悟之路。皈依佛不僅是為了利己，也為了利他，皈依法，法是指通往開悟之路，開啓智慧的方便；皈依僧，所皈依的對象包括上師，善知識 ....... 。」
金剛舞：灌頂法會有兩個金剛舞種。第一種是在擇地結界時跳的。第二種是用作召請智慧本尊時跳的。有載，根器殊勝者在看到金剛舞時也可以得到解脫和清除障礙。能看到莊嚴而神聖的金剛舞，實在是難得的善因緣。
沙壇城：本尊壇城會依噶舉派傳统由具高度修持喇嘛以人手用彩沙設劃。密續中載：見到、聽到、乃至想及壇城，其殊勝利益和加持等同親見諸佛。灌頂儀式完成之後，壇城沙將會置入海中，饒益及調伏水中眾生。若水之為雲，雲之為雨，化作無盡甘露，加持無量眾生，無量褔德由此而起。
我們祈盼籍著這珍貴的因緣，香港善信的身心得以淨化，菩提善根得以鞏固，智慧得以開顯。並願香港社會瑞氣祥和，國泰民安，風調雨順，平安吉祥。

The Supreme head of Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, His Holiness 17th Karmpa Trinley Thaye Dorje will be visitng Hong Kong in early February 2009. This will be an auspicious occasion for spreading the word of Dharma in the territory.
Karmapa is the first “ Tulku” in Tibetan Buddhist history, whose successive reincarnations ensure the continuation of Dharma teachings. It was recorded in “Samadhi Raja Sutra” that Buddha Shakyamuni described the Karmapa as “Knower of the Three Times – Past, Present and Future”, and “achiever of Buddha’s activities”. It was also foretold as that Karmapa will be the Sixth Buddha in this world, after Buddha Matreiya, “Buddha of the Lion’s Roar”. The 17th Karmapa has been recognized by His Holiness 14th Shamarpa in accordance with Karma Kagyu’s lineage traditions, on purely religious and spiritual criteria.
The late 16th Karmapa has visited Hong Kong in the 1980’s and through that visit, bestowed much compassionate blessing on a broad spectrum of disciples and Buddhist
practitioners. We are very fortunate that the circumstances are now mature for the new visit of His Holiness the 17th Karmapa to continue and deepen our connection with Dharma and the Karma Kagyu lineage.
It is our sincere wish that through this auspicious Dharma activity, the accumulation of merit and wisdom will benefit not only Buddhist practitioners and disciples, but extend to the broader benefits of a harmonious society for Hong Kong at large.
The 3-day program will include Characteristic Buddhist practices such as Sand Mandala, Initiation on the “Drolma Namjorma” and “Twenty one Taras” practice, Lama Dance and Refuge ceremony. Highlights are listed below:
Initiation –“Drolma Namjorma” and Twenty One Taras
His Holiness will conduct the Annutara Yoga (Highest order) initiation on “Drolma Namjorma” before the empowerment on the “Twenty One Taras” practice. In these difficult times plagued with natural disasters and disruptions to our inner peace, it is particularly important to receive these initiations to overcome such obstacles, enjoy a smooth progress in life and in one’s practice as well as vast accumulation of merit and wisdom.
Refuge Ceremony
Taking the Refuge ceremony is the first step and foundation to all Buddhist practice. It is particularly auspicious to receive this ceremony from His Holiness, who once said of the refuge as “leading us on the path to ultimate enlightenment through benefiting self and others”.
Lama Dance
There are two types of Lama Dance in the initiation ceremony. The first is to define the place to establish the sacred realm of the practice. The second is to invite the wisdom deities to the sacred realm. It was recorded in ancient teachings that through the merits of watching Lama Dance, the seed to enlightenment is safely planted.
Sand Mandala
The unique Sand Mandala will be constructed by accomplished monks , according to the Karma Kagyu lineage teachings. As recorded in scriptures, the benefits of seeing a sand mandala are equal to that of meeting Buddha in person. After the initiation, the sand mandala will be released into the sea, thereby benefiting sentient being in water. Through the natural cycle of water – clouds – rain, such benefits will be extended to all sentient beings.
Dharma Teaching
37 Precepts of the Bodhisattva Path
It is indeed a rare and auspicious occasion to be able to participate in this Dharma program. Let us welcome His Holiness with a pure heart of bliss ad chant: “Karmapa Chenno”.
