Dear Dharma friends,

I have the privilege and honour to follow His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa and Shamarpa's guidance, and became a Buddhist monk in Bodhgaya in 2007. Subsequently I was given the task to set up and run the Bodhipath Buddhist center in Taichung in 2008, the aim of the center is to spread Buddha dharma teaching, learning the bodhisattva way by adopting the Bodhisattva's attitude, develop wisdom and practice to experience a clear and unobstructed nature of mind.

I have also started producing TV programs about Dharma teaching on Taiwan Dharma TV station since 2012, the topics cover teaching of Karma Kagyu lineage, Bodhicitta and other Dharma knowledge.


In 2013 I was assigned to be responsible for Dharma practice and teaching by Karmapa and Shamarpa in our new monastery in Hualian, Taiwan; from 2014 regular puja and events will be organised in both monasteries in Hualian and Taichung, including regular Nyongye practice (thousand arm chenrezig fasting program) White Tara Retreat as well as other retreat programs in the pipeline.


With pleasure I am producing these DVDs for distribution and sharing, I would appreciate any comment or feedback you might have for future improvement. In this trouble time we are most fortunate this auspicious teaching come to light, may the precious teachings radiate and flourish, may we bring forth our full effort together to work for a better future.

15.《試煉》

我的好友珊珊幫我翻譯,她陪我早出晚歸,我一輩子都會感激她。


祈福法會,夏瑪巴開示普賢行願品,深入、微細又精彩,晚間他說要見我,我很興奮期待著,但見面他卻說:「我得想一想,你去閉關的事,明天下午再說吧!」次日下午我們到他下榻的蓮花飯店見他,他很有趣,看到了我卻不睬我,很快的走來走去對他的侍者說:「外面在燒什麼?味道很糟!」他迅速跳上車,侍者說他要參加法會。那我只得和他一起去,他說:「晚上再找我好了。」當晚,我們準時「赴約」,他與他的弟弟在「閒聊」,他看著珊珊:「今天真的好累啊!明天再說吧!」就這樣我們在菩提迦葉的街道上走了數回,來來回回!迦葉的天空,每天都比台灣的沙塵暴襲擊時還要強,我有些厭煩,按奈著性子,回想張良被他的恩師「試探修理」的故事,張良為了一部兵法,我為了無上佛法,我願意……!在迦葉的最後二天,他問珊珊,我去不去他的下一站~新德里,我回答:「不去。」他看我不去,不能再玩我了,(已經玩了我好些天,次日他要先離開迦葉)又對我說:「明早一起來飯店吃早餐,那時我最有空了。」翌晨天沒亮我站在餐廳門口,看著珊珊又為了我趕來!我感覺無限的虧欠!吃早餐,多樣的印度美食與西餐呈列在前,他邊吃邊聊,但對象不是我,我坐遠離他十幾公尺的角落無心享受!珊珊對我說:「他在考驗你…」我突然想起來此的第一個晚上的第二個夢,那個夢境就是這些天被呼來喚去的情景,最後一幕也是珊珊剛才對我說的那句話。我沉思著:我這幾天是何其的幸運,法王給了那麼多與他相處的機會,甚至一起「共進早餐」…,有那麼多想與他見一面的弟子在守候與排隊,只為了讓他加持一下。我抬起頭凝視著他,他拿著刀叉向我一笑,示意我過去,突然把他安排我閉關的一切事交代給我,還介紹幾位事後幫我的居士和喇嘛,這一齣測試終於結束,我無意要賣弄我的忍耐與修養,其實我是一個極沒耐性的傢伙,但是遇到這位恩師時,我只是對他有無上的信賴,我不知是什麼因緣,我看到他自信滿滿時,我對他也就自信滿滿!而且,越跟他相處越發現他的細緻!有人說:「夏瑪巴很會變,一直不停的變。」現在我發現,原因是眾生才更會變,他以毒攻毒,以變引導出我們不變的最終本質,今天或許我很僥倖發現我對他不變的信心本質,我也發願下回更多的測驗我都能順利過關。
