菩提道台中中心: 1.《當法王的弟子不能窮》"The Disciples of His Holiness Can Not Be Poor!"

諸位菩薩大德，吾於2007年跟隨第十七世噶瑪巴聽列泰耶多傑和夏瑪巴在菩提迦葉出家，2008年成立菩提道台中中心，其宗旨在推廣佛行事業，傳布佛法，實踐菩薩行，淨化人心，祕密莊嚴人間淨土。於2012年在台灣法界電視臺弘揚噶舉傳承與菩提心等佛法大意。2013年兩位法王指派吾兼任花蓮寺院法務，自2014年將定期辦理紐聶〈十一面千手觀音斷食法)，白度母等閉關法會。今錄製光碟，流通結緣。願諸高僧大德不吝賜教! 當今我們遭遇如此殊勝之教法，皆不願勝教衰微。今祈請大德齊心協力，共濟未來。 Google部落格http://bodhipath07.blogspot.com/ (菩提道台中中心)

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.

1.《當法王的弟子不能窮》"The Disciples of His Holiness Can Not Be Poor!"

2008年春，夏瑪巴叫我去閉關，但同時又叫我在台中成立菩提道的台中中心，'09年因為忙著中心成立的事，便把閉關之事延遲了，'09年9月仁波切令我去美國上課及受菩薩戒與彌陀灌頂，隨後又要我赴香港與他會合，在港見面時他交代我2010年去尼泊爾閉關的事，'09年12月我赴印度菩提迦葉參加祈福法會，我向仁波切報告法會圓滿我將前往尼泊爾看台中中心訂製的佛像，他依此因緣，閉關便提早進行了，當然這一個改變有許多的轉折，但我知道我和古德求法的艱辛根本無法比擬﹗我飛來飛去，同參開玩笑說︰｢當法王的弟子不能窮﹗｣也有前輩提醒我︰｢求法不虔敬，不捨得花錢怎麼可能求到法？｣

The spring of 2008, His Holiness Shamarpa Rimpoche requested that I go into retreat, but he also wished that I set up a Bodhi Path center at Taichung. Since I was busy with establishing the center during the following year of 2009, I delayed the plan to go to retreat. Then, His Holiness said to go to the United States to attend his Dharma course, to receive the Bodhisattva Vows and Amitabha Buddha Empowerment [in June of 2009]; then, I should join him at Hong Kong[in September]. While we were in Hong Kong, he then assigned me to go into a retreat in 2010 at Nepal. In December 2009, I went to Bodh Gaya, India to participate in our annual prayer meeting [in which all the disciples and followers of the lineage join together to pray for world peace also called "Kagyu Monlam"]. [We met again and] I reported that I would go to Nepal to see the progress of our custom-made statues ordered by our Taichung center right after the prayer meeting. By chance, His Holiness said my retreat may start early; [I should go to Nepal immediately and begin my retreat]. Although there were many changes and turns, but I knew the difficulties I experienced were insignificant compared to the disciples in the olden days. Since I took flights to many counties, a friend of mine jokingly said, "being a disciple of His Holiness can not be poor!" Another friend also reminded me that "the supplication for Buddha Dharma requires devotion. If one is not ready to do everything one can do such as spending some money, how can we receive anything at all?"
