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.

第六世 夏瑪巴 確吉 旺秋 仁波切〈1584-1630〉




陽木猴年九月三日,第六世夏瑪巴法王確吉旺秋降生於秋隆,瑞兆吉祥。確吉旺秋很小的時候,就已是個不平凡的靈童。五歲時,噶瑪巴旺秋多傑認證了確吉旺秋的轉世身份,並在達波謝竹寺的佛學院為夏瑪巴法王舉行陞座大典。確吉旺秋從噶瑪巴處領受高深的教法,十二歲時,即被視為傑出的禪修行者。此外,在學養豐富的喇嘛噶瑪聽列指導下研習梵文,短期內即頗有心得,十六歲時,夏瑪巴法王已精通梵文,博得梵文學者的尊稱。

藏曆蛇年七月十一日,夏瑪巴法王創建了突殿寧千寺禪修中心。夏瑪巴法王熟諳三十二部佛教經典,曾造訪各教派佛學院,並參與檢校法本經藏的工作;辯論教理時,其舌燦蓮花之無礙辯才,每令四座嘆服;某次重要場合,就以辯論擊敗苯教的論師。夏瑪巴法王被公認為當時最偉大的學者之一。


夏瑪法王確吉旺秋曾數次於禪觀中親見薩迦班智達,並領受重要教法,因而為薩迦班智達和文殊菩薩寫下優美傳世的祈禱文。


姜地的統治者邀請夏瑪巴法王到該地訪問,夏瑪巴法王為該地寺院所典藏的 「甘珠爾」大藏經勘誤,並傳授大手印法教,吸引了許多優秀弟子前來受法。


夏瑪巴法王又前往如爾滿寺,傳授教法和灌頂給當地的喇嘛和僧侶。此行之後不久,他認證了第十世噶瑪巴秋英多傑,並主持了新噶瑪巴的陞座大典。之後,夏瑪巴法王前往尼泊爾朝聖,一抵達加德滿都山谷,便前往布達納斯舍利塔巡禮,在此遇見國王拉克斯米納洛‧辛哈馬拉。國王相當尊敬夏瑪巴法王,虔誠以花蔓為供養。而統治另一座山谷的國王辛哈馬拉也供養了一匹大象供夏瑪巴法王騎乘。由於夏瑪巴法王深厚的梵文學養與修行成就,在尼泊爾弘揚佛法、與當地婆羅門辯論教理,大家皆為夏瑪巴法王所攝服。


夏瑪巴法王造訪了著名的斯瓦雅布佛塔,並在四個方位建造四座黃金壇城,而沒有按照原定計畫,在佛塔上建造一座金黃的屋頂。這趟陽鐵龍年的殊勝訪問,至今仍詳實的記載於佛塔南方壇城的拱門上。


後來,夏瑪巴法王取道尼泊爾北方的優莫返回西藏。經過藏南時,夏瑪巴法王傳授了「拉蜜納究」〈Lami Naljor〉灌頂,並向信眾開示因緣果報。在塔西崗,夏瑪巴法王巧遇噶瑪巴,夏瑪巴法王把一隻尼泊爾貓鼬送給噶瑪巴,並將所持教法供養給噶瑪巴教主。


陽鐵馬年二月四日,夏瑪巴法王示寂,弟子皆請求法王住世,直到堪竹噶瑪昌美前來,因為堪竹噶瑪昌美還必須向夏瑪巴法王求授重要教法,於是夏瑪巴法王製作一個自己的陶土塑像,裝臟加持並開光〈這座塑像現在還保存在隆德寺〉,後來,堪竹噶瑪昌美及時趕到,領受了殊勝教法。同年九月二十八日早上,夏瑪巴法王示寂,當時亦出現許多瑞相。主要弟子有第十世噶瑪巴、噶瑪米龐澈旺洛騰〈姜地統治者〉,以及堪竹噶瑪昌美。
