Gyalwang Karmapa arrived at 6.00am and conferred the Sojong vows.
今早，法王親自主持八關齋戒的受戒儀式。

Before beginning the morning prayers, he spoke to the assembly. He began with a short description of the history of Kagyu Monlam and explained that the Kagyu Monlam was able to happen because of the coming together of causes and conditions including merit; even being fortunate enough to attend the Monlam was rare, a testimony to the merit every one there had accumulated.
傳戒之後，法王開示祈願法會的源起、意義及會眾應以如何參與以得到最大的利益。

He then gave a short overview of The Heart Sutra before leading the first session of the Monlam prayers.

接著，維那師開始引領與會大眾持誦梵文的皈依文等。之後，法王簡短開示《心經》的要義。

接著，維那師引領大眾持誦梵文《心經》及佛偈。

In the second session, Gyalwang Karmapa continued the transmission of The Life of Milarepa and gave a commentary on the Green Tara practice before leading the chanting of The Twenty One Praises to Tara to a melody he himself composed.

第二座香開始時，韓國佛學社代表向法王獻長壽供養。之後，法王繼續給予《密勒日巴尊者傳》的口傳。

今天第二座香修持的是救度佛母二十一種禮讚經文，因此法王首先開示綠度母禮讚文的架構和修誦的功德利益。

After lunch he led the Akshobhya Ritual, and then returned to Tergar Monastery for a hectic schedule of private audiences.

Medical Camp: The medical camp was held in the village of Vinobapuri, forty minutes from Bodhgaya. More than seven hundred people came. Several of those treated were suffering from serious illnesses, but, once more, the majority of patients who presented themselves were suffering from diseases linked with poverty and malnutrition.

《大手印五支》課程

Evening Teaching at Tergar Monastery: The 25ht was the third and final evening of Gyalwang Karmapa’s teaching on The Fivefold Mahumudra. Verse four reads:

If, in the vast sky of the nature of mind,
The clouds of concepts do not disperse,
The stars of the two wisdoms will not brightly shine.
So, earnestly focus on cultivating this non-conceptuality.

Gyalwang Karmapa explained the metaphor. . . . (For a continuation of this extended summary of the Wednesday teachings, go to His Holiness’s Teachings at the 25th Great Kagyu Monlam)

After the teaching on the fifth and final verse, the Gyalwang Karmapa first gave the transmission in Tibetan of the Ngondro he himself had written, explaining that, as the compiler of the text, he was the only one who could give this particular transmission.

He then gave the transmission of the Mahamudra Aspiration Prayer, composed by the Third Karmapa, followed by the transmission of several mantras.

Finally he gave the transmission of The Fivefold Mahamudra in Tibetan, English, Chinese and Korean. The audience really appreciated his efforts in doing this and each transmission was applauded enthusiastically.

In conclusion he thanked everyone for coming, and apologized that pressure of time had meant only three days were available for the teaching. He explained how happy he had been every night to see so many people with joy on their faces and smiling eyes; it was a sight he would never forget. He rose, stepped gracefully down from the throne, and left the hall, smiling shyly and blessing everyone as he went.

晚上七點，法王繼續講授《大手印五支證道歌》的第四和第五偈。第四偈的主題是心性，以天空比喻心，原本清淨無染，寬廣無垠；以雲比喻暫時的妄念和遮障。如同雲層使我們無法看到天上的星星和月亮，妄念和遮障使我們無法見到心本具的兩種功德：盡所有智和如所有智（二智）。禪修能使心本具的功德展現，也就是讓我們見到心的本性。

心的本性是空性，一如萬法的本性是空性。所謂空性，簡單的說，就是沒有實性或獨立存在性。尋心的口訣是了解心性的方法之一。初學時，我們利用尋心的口訣來了解心性，透過尋找心的特質－－顏色、形狀、大小等－－去尋找心。由於無法找到心，我們可以初步定論心是空性的。但是，這只是概念，這種尋心的方法是有造作的禪修。以分析的方法了解心，落入「將有變無」的過患，因為心原本就是空性的，不須作意使它變空。空性和顯現是同時存在的，無法分別的；顯現的當下，就是空性的。

對上師的虔敬心及傳承的加持，是見到自心本性的關鍵。對上師的全然信心，讓我們愈來愈接近無造作的心，最後契入本來如是的心。

第五偈的主題是迴向。本偈以摩尼寶比喻我們的福慧功德，以擦拭比喻迴向。珍貴如如意寶，若我們只是把它放在那裡，不去擦拭，灰塵堆積的結果，使它的價值無法彰顯。同理，自私的塵埃會遮蓋寶貴的福慧，埋沒它的價值。迴向能使福慧成熟，而達到我們欲求的正覺果實。

證道歌的講授圓滿之後，法王給予他撰著的《四不共加行課誦略儀》及第三世噶瑪巴撰著的〈大手印祈願文〉的藏文口傳。接下來他給予觀音菩薩、度母、文殊菩薩、蓮師、藥師佛、阿彌陀佛、長壽佛、不動佛咒語及噶瑪巴千諾的口傳。最後，法王以四種語言口傳《大手印五支證道歌》：藏文、英文、中文及韓文。法王渾厚、圓融的聲音，及為滿眾弟子願而努力學各種語言的愛心和成果，讓大眾法喜充滿，對法王更加敬愛，一再報以滿堂的掌聲。

新年即將來臨，法王提前祝福大家新年新氣象。他對自己的期許，是更加努力，以滿一切有緣人的願，到各國探望大家正是其中一項。法王說，他將永遠記得今晚每人的歡顏。

最後，法王教導的每日一句是：薩哇芒嘎南（梵文，Sarvamangalam），願一切吉祥！
