Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche 堪千贝玛谢绕仁波切

1936年,堪千贝玛谢饶仁波切出生于西藏东部康区德格地区一个名叫琼达小村庄。他年轻时就离开故土来到西藏中部,寻求佛法的学习和修行的方法,并在那裡遇见了他未来的根本上师,前一世至尊顶果钦哲仁波切。从上师那裡他得到了许多重要的教法——灌顶、读诵经文以及显宗与密宗的指导。作为上师的侍者他侍奉了上师十多年,并于1959年跟随上师从西藏经不丹逃亡到印度。流亡期间,堪千用了很多年的时间学习、思维和禅修显宗与密宗在哲学方面的教义。后师从西藏佐钦寺宁玛传承著名学者堪布增珠等多位上师的指导。

在看到了堪千在佛学,特别是宁玛传承完备的学识潜力,时任流亡宁玛传承最高领袖至尊顿珠仁波切和至尊顶果钦哲仁波切请堪千前往南印度南卓林寺协助寺院事宜。至尊贝诺仁波切建立了宁玛佛学院——一所传统的寺院大学,成千上万的僧众与尼众可以在这裡学习博大精深的佛学教义,尤其是宁玛传承在贝诺仁波切和他的另外两位资深堪布的指导下,堪千仁波切独自承担了五十年来教授、管理和指导学生的责任。经过他辛勤的努力,迄今为止,南卓林佛学院已经培养了超过五百名堪布(教授)和数千名罗本(法师)。他们是佛教哲学和修行考核的毕业生,现在遍布世界各地弘扬佛法之光。如今,南卓林佛学院已经成为全世界研究佛学和宁玛传承的最佳之地。

继在南卓林佛学院取得巨大成功之后,至尊贝诺仁波切于1993年派遣堪千去往西藏白玉母寺设立佛学院也取得了巨大的成功。堪千还在尼泊尔和不丹开设了谢德拉寺。又在西藏、不丹、尼泊尔和印度的诸多宁玛寺院广泛教授。由于他对出家戒律与道德的纯粹遵守,自2009年至尊贝诺仁波切圆寂后,堪千独自一人负责为印度、尼泊尔,西藏和不丹的数千名僧尼授予出家戒律。他从至尊顿珠仁波切,至尊顶果钦哲仁波切、至尊竹旺贝诺仁波切、至尊达隆泽珠仁波切等人安乐接受了许多重要的宁玛教法。

自1998年起,堪千开始前往法国、德国、比利时等欧洲国家及澳大利亚、新西兰、美国、加拿大以及东南亚新加坡、马来西亚、印度尼西亚、香港、澳门等国家与地区弘扬释迦牟尼佛和莲花生大士的爱与慈悲智慧和证悟的法教精义。在如此短暂的时间内,是无法用几句语言来列举至尊堪千贝玛谢饶仁波切的所有功德的。然而,简而言之,堪千体现了圣者(Khe-pe-tsul-gu)的九种品质,即于己,持续闻、思修;于他,教学、辩经和修行;于己同他,增长学问、持守戒律并保持高尚的心。

表面上,他像优波离阿罗汉一样清淨持戒;内心中,他修行观世音菩萨的大慈大悲之心;秘法裡,他弘扬金刚乘修法,包括像金刚手菩萨一样的大圆满法。因此,他被称为Dom-sum-de-nod-dzin-pa(外波罗夷戒、内菩萨戒、秘密金刚乘戒三愿持有者)。目前,他是1959年离开西藏的极少数还在世的伟大上师和学者之一。

Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche was born in 1936, at Riphu, a village in Dege Jomda, Kham Province, Tibet. When he was eight, as a cowboy, he studied reading and writing Tibetan from his uncle Lama Chozang. At fourteen, he went to Lhasa and studied under many masters and scholars of all the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. While receiving teachings, he rendered loyal service to his teachers and exerted complete enthusiasm in study.

In 1953, Zhechen Kongtrul Rinpoche bestowed upon him the novice vow. In 1959, he fled to India. He met H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and received most of Rinpoche's writings, as well as many teachings including the Guhyagarbha Root Tantra, Longchenpa’s Treasury of Pith Instructions, Kagyud Ngag Dzod (Treasury of Tantra teachings of the Kagyud Lineage), Rinchen Terdzod (Treasury of terma teachings), Jigmed Lingpa’s Yonten Dzod (Treasury of Enlightened Qualities), Lochen Dharmashri’s Explanation on Ngari Panchen’s Three Vows entitled, 'the Fruit of the Wish-fulfilling Tree', Paltrul Rinpoche’s Words of My Perfect Teacher, and many other sutras and tantras.

On various occasions, he received many teachings from H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche and H.H. Pema Norbu Rinpoche. These include the Rinchen Terdzod empowerments and oral transmission. He also had the privilege to receive Jang-ter (the Northern Treasure Teachings) from H.H. Taglung Tsetrul Rinpoche.

In 1968, His Holiness Penor Rinpoche invited Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche to Namdroling Monastery to expound Dharma teachings. Although the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute was not yet established, Khenchen spent a few years teaching the common and uncommon traditional fields of study to young monks at Namdroling. Since the establishment of NNI in 1978 until the present day, Khenchen has been teaching the students in the institute out of compassion and kindness. He has wholeheartedly rendered priceless service to NNI and the monastery. All in all, he has taken the responsibility to manage the institute with great compassion to this day. Hence his kindness is inexpressible.

Having mastered the three baskets of Buddha's teachings, Khenchen has been teaching many different sutras and tantras, as well as the traditional topics of Tibetan grammar and poetry. Khenchen observes strictly the monk's vow, the very base of all spiritual attainments, and he has conferred the vows on monks and nuns from NNI and many others from around the world.

Not only does Khenchen teach all the levels of sutras and tantras, but he has also composed many books for the benefit of future generations. Khenchen’s writings include a biography of Guru Padmasambhava, an exposition on the Two Truths, the Typology of Mind, the Dialectical syllogism, the Sun of Mind; an exposition of Logic and many more.
