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.

第一世 夏瑪巴 札巴 辛給 仁波切〈1283-1249〉




藏曆陰水羊年〈1283〉,第一世夏瑪巴法王-札巴辛給,誕生於藏東康地謝河畔的彭波崗。四歲時,在某天清晨,札巴辛給親見度母和護法成就者德謝唐巴,並從他們領受許多重要的灌頂。


六歲時,札巴辛給便以能見特殊神靈而聞名,並且常將其所見神異的形象描述給人們聽。札巴辛給的父母對此感到相當憂心,便將札巴辛給帶往拜見羅竹札巴喇嘛,希望羅竹喇嘛能免除這些令人不安的能力。羅竹喇嘛請這小男孩告訴他看見了什麼,結果札巴辛給仔細地描繪了馬頭明王尊像及其周圍壇城-原來年幼的札巴辛給見到的是本尊、護法。了解這名男孩的天賦異稟之後,羅竹喇嘛勸導札巴辛給的父母,讓他們的孩子出家,因為小孩日後可能成為偉大的上師,弘揚佛法、廣行利生事業。


之後,札巴辛給受戒成為僧侶,受教於羅竹喇嘛和嘉傑洛本座下。十七歲時,巧遇第三世噶瑪巴朗瓊多傑,於是跟隨噶瑪巴前往祖普寺,並自噶瑪巴處領受戒律。接著他前往著名的桑浦紐透佛學院就讀,並圓滿所有的修習。很快地,札巴辛給成為一位知名學者和因明論師。


二十四歲時,在德千騰一地,再度和噶瑪巴碰面,並接受 「那諾六法」 等完整的教導。札巴辛給在山洞中閉關整整兩年,當他修習 「睡夢瑜珈」 時,親見噶瑪巴朗瓊多傑,噶瑪巴囑咐札巴辛給開始建造禪修中心,大護法瑪哈嘎拉則提供了詳細的地點,於是選在尼薩地方建造。很快地,禪修中心完竣,約二十五名夏瑪札巴辛給的弟子在此禪修。接著他返回自己的閉關洞穴,將餘生完全投注於禪修。



藏曆陰牛年二月十二日,札巴辛給示寂,享年六十七歲,圓寂時出現諸多瑞相。最主要的弟子是雅德般千和多登貢嘉華。
