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.

第四世 夏瑪巴 確吉 札巴 仁波切〈1453-1524〉

確吉札巴於藏曆陰水鳥年〈1453〉三月三日誕生於藏東多美地區的康瑪。降生之夜,當地人見到天空出現兩輪皎潔明月。出生後,確吉札巴即告訴親人說他認識嘉華噶瑪巴。


七歲那年,確吉札巴被帶往噶瑪寺〈Kangmar〉。一入寺,確吉札巴逕自步向法座,登陞其上。前世夏瑪巴法王的弟子,將噶瑪巴的著作和其他書籍混在一起,確吉札巴仍無誤地選出噶瑪巴的所有著作,並按照順序排列整齊。


後來,夏瑪巴法王受邀前往昌莫薩〈Chang Mo Sar〉及著名的如爾滿寺〈Zurmang〉。在那兒,夏瑪巴法王遇見了第七世噶瑪巴確札蔣措。為了利益夏瑪巴法王,噶瑪巴教主舉行了「黑寶冠法會」,同時夏瑪巴法王也領受許多教法與灌頂。


十二歲那年,夏瑪巴法王舉行 「紅寶冠法會」,並正式陞座。他親見佛母薩拉瓦蒂〈G oddess Sarawti〉〈文殊菩薩的眷屬〉,佛母賜予夏瑪巴法王一個「阿魯拉果」〈Arura 〈Myrobalan〉 fruit〉,殊勝的加持,令夏瑪巴法王得以快速融會所學。之後,夏瑪巴法王前往嘎登瑪莫〈Gaden Mamo〉,禪修了六個月。陽鐵虎年〈1470〉,十七歲的夏瑪巴法王前往蒙古,短暫停留後,回程時自噶瑪巴處領受了所有最秘密的教導。而前世的弟子寇洛察瓦周努帕則教導夏瑪巴法王梵文〈Sanskrit〉以及傳承的論著。


四十六歲時,夏瑪巴法王成為西藏最高領袖。陽士猴年〈1488〉三月二日,夏瑪巴法王肇建大嘎登瑪莫寺,而於陽鐵狗年〈1490〉六月十日完竣。寺中大殿由九十四根柱子支撐,莊嚴宏偉。五十一歲時,夏瑪巴法王於緊鄰祖普北邊的揚巴千〈Yangpa Chen〉啟建一座大佛寺,從陰水豬年〈1503〉四月十九日興建,至鼠年〈1504〉二月圓滿落成。佛寺大殿由七十二根柱子支撐,巍然可觀。
