（法王噶瑪巴陞座主法，並開示《密勒日巴大師傳》，今天從中文版P256說起）

今天說密勒日巴最後一項事業：示現涅槃。

密勒日巴大師傳：

禪修：觀想悲心，化作觀世音

剛剛我們說到發菩提心和修心，所以我們今天禪修，就要這樣禪修。

首先要掌握身體的要點，身體坐直。觀想一切眾生，一切受苦的眾生，如一隻狗被車撞了，或想起自己曾看過的悲傷景像，感覺這種小小白色的光，越來越大，充滿此心，從心放出，從梵穴而放出，剎那間轉換成二臂觀音菩薩，右手持勝施印，左手持蓮花，綻開在臉旁，慈祥莊嚴，慈眼悲憫的看著一切眾生，給予眾生愛、慈悲與加持。要記得，這位觀音菩薩是從我們的悲心中所生起，所以，首先要生起大悲心，即使它起初只是如芝麻一樣大，要不斷擴大它、擴大它，直到它充滿整個心，從頂輪梵穴放出，化成觀世音菩薩，能以慈悲加持所有眾生。

（安住三分鐘）

法王獨頌〈 大祈願文〉前開示：我們念誦時要像密勒尊者一樣，要做廣大的發心，為何要受戒，藉由清淨身語意三門，而具足利益眾生的能力，要這樣發心。

（法王獨頌〈大祈願文〉，迴向後，結束第二座法）

〈第三座法〉(下午1:30-3:00）

（法王噶瑪巴陞座主法）

今天，要講解度母的佛行事業與功德，因為下午要念頌度母的偈文，所以現在要略為講解《救度佛母二十一種禮讚經》和〈度母讚文與利益〉。

首先，是頂禮二十一度母尊聖救度母，接下來二十一度母之功德、事業，一一解說如下：

一、速勇母：她代表「懷攝」的事業（註：息增懷誅之「懷」，即懷攝，懷柔而攝持）；

二、百秋朗月母：她代表「寂靜」的功德，可以加持身體健康。

三、紫磨金色母：可加持行者依於六度如法而修持。

四、如來頂髻母：可加持行者「長壽」。

五、怛羅吽字母：可加持（息增懷誅）「懷」之事業增勝。

六、釋梵火天母：可加持淨除諸魔的干擾。

七、特囉胝發母：可加持免除他人對我們之傷害。

八、都哩大緊母：降伏內外一切怨敵之障礙。

九、三寶嚴印母：可加持增長威德。

十、威德歡悅母：可降伏魔障，增進世間威德。

十一、守護眾地母：降伏貪欲，令一切衰敗度脫。

十二、頂冠月相母：頂輪放光，帶來吉祥。

十三、如盡劫火母：清淨修道上的障礙。

十四、手按大地母：能加持降伏七種險難。

十五、安穩柔善母：降伏嚴重罪業、災害。

十六、普編極喜母：加持遠離惡咒、明咒之害。

十七、都哩巴度母：亦能清淨不好之咒語。

十八、薩囉天海母：能加持降伏自然界的饑饉。

十九、諸天集會母：能加持降伏口舌是非與惡夢。

二十、日月廣圓母：能加持清淨六種病害。

二十一、具三真實母：能加持避免鬼神、羅剎、夜叉之侵擾

度母可以淨除修行人生活上和修行上的兩種障疑，在密法修行上，度母也可以幫助密乘行者淨除外、內、密三種障礙。為了祈請上師長壽、佛行事業廣大，藏傳弟子們也會祈請度母。另外，為了傳承的波卡仁波切清淨無誤的轉世，能盡快回到我們之間，之前一切障礙能淨除，我們也要祈請度母，並發願迴向這件事盡快成辦，這是很重要的。還有，目前人在西藏的巴渥仁波切身體違和，現在正在住院，也要為他祈願。最後，迴向於這世間一切的不順、違緣，能轉為吉祥。

As the 27th Kagyu Monlam reaches its half-way mark, thousands of disciples spent the day offering their voices, hearts and minds to generate vast aspirations for the well-being of the world. Along with those who traveled from over 52 countries to attend in person, many more have been able to participate this year from their homes, since this year’s Kagyu Monlam is being webcast live at kagyumonlam.tv with prayers and teachings transmitted in eight languages, including English, French, German, Polish and Russian.

Today Gyalwang Karmapa brought his reading of the life story of Milarepa to the moment of Milarepa’s passing into nirvana. He then gave advice on how to use adverse conditions for spiritual growth. Taking the example of a common situation faced by foreigners attending Monlam in Bodhgaya—physical ailments and sickness—His Holiness indicated several ways to make such problems fruitful for our Dharma practice. For one, we can use sickness to deepen our recognition of the teachings on death and impermanence. We can also reflect that by undergoing that particular form of suffering, we are experiencing the result of negative karma we created in a past life. We can consider that had we not faced it now, that Karma, in all likelihood, would have ripened in a much more painful form in a future life. Contemplating in this manner can even allow us to face painful situations with a sense of joy. As His Holiness noted in an earlier day’s teachings, our suffering is a potent means of deepening our renunciation.

Quoting a verse from Aryadeva’s Four Hundred Verses, His Holiness said that for bodhisattvas, there is not much difference between samsara, with its many problems, and nirvana, which is entirely free of problems. All the difficult situations that arise in samsara have a completely different meaning for those with bodhichitta, since the main aim of bodhisattvas is to work for the welfare of others. His Holiness observed that when some people hear that it took Buddha Shakyamuni three countless great eons to accumulate the merit needed to become enlightened, they feel this is too long to wait. But in fact, whether they have reached enlightenment or not, the principle aim of bodhisattvas is simply to benefit others, and so their orientation before and after enlightenment is the same. Bodhisattvas’ main goal is not to become enlightened; their main goal is to free others from suffering and bring them to happiness.

The third session was devoted to Tara, a female buddha who embodies enlightened action. His Holiness began the session with an explanation of the Praises to Twenty-One Taras, a prayer that he noted crosses all boundaries and is widely practiced in Tibet by members of all schools of Buddhism. Following that, His Holiness granted an audience to all the members of Friends of Kagyu Monlam, personally signing and offering each and every member a copy of the Medicine Buddha practice text in English, Chinese and Tibetan that was prepared especially for this year’s Monlam.
