写给女孩札西全措的一席贤良谏言
 

 

扬唐仁波切圆寂之前,悄悄留下了一封遗书,这封遗书是在示现圆寂之后,在仁波切的私人提袋当中发现的。这封信是写给仁波切侄女的女儿,我们相信这里面也充满着对所有弟子们最后的教诫。
现在在妳年纪轻轻、智识清明的这个时刻,是一个应当仔细思考自己这一生以及来世路的时候。往昔的智者们说过:“提前思虑乃智者,事后后悔为愚夫。”既然如此,对自己这一生和来世的路仔细思虑之后,能够找到清净真实的路,并且在找到之后,能够在那上面稳健地走着,这实在太重要了。如果不去思考,而走入歧途之后,再想返回到正道上面,那可是一大艰难,不是马上说要反转就可以反转的,刚开始就不要走到错的路上去,这点很重要。

关于所行的道路,简单来说,就是世间之路,和法之道两条路。走世间路,则此生和来世经历大苦,乃是不善罪业、极为艰辛的道路是也。而佛法之道,是通往暂时与究竟丰饶安乐光明康庄大道但是,现今趋入光明道路的人,相当稀少,在现今世界上约四十亿的人口当中,进入佛法道路的,仅仅不过十万人。除了他们之外,其他所有人都走在世间路当中,由于成办的尽是恶业,透过罪业的力量,不由自主地遭遇颠倒之道、痛苦之路,而导致必须走在那上头。
这一次得到的人身,耗散在没有意义的世间轮回路上,完全不知人生会走向何处。等到有一天死亡降临的时候,不只要抛下这个世界、父母爱人、亲朋好友,和身家财产,还有自己的身躯,于是只得在泪眼涟涟当中,走上来世之路。由于这一生只有造作恶业,走的时候,除了三恶道以外没有别的去处。在三恶道当中,经历数十万年岁之后,才有那么一回投生到善道,必须长时间遭受痛苦。像这样子一而再、再而三轮转在六道当中,无有解脱之时。

如此这般的这条世间路,是一条必须长时间经历广大痛苦的恐怖道路,所有的人因为恶业的力量,不由自主地走上这样的恶劣道路上。女孩呀,妳要发愿:不必经历像这样的世间路。如果无有自主地被业力追逐,而必须走上这条路的话,切莫自作主张、仓促行事。要听从年迈父母、思虑周良前辈们的建议和教育,要遵照有体悟、有经验者们的忠言之后,在卜预言等等方面,寄托给三宝,自己一再仔细思考之后,再坚稳迈步,不可仓促行事,我请求妳把这些牢牢放在心上。

女孩呀,如果妳有想要趋向佛法的希求,就实在太好了。那是条光明清净、没有错误的清净道路,首先一心专注寄托在三宝上头是很重要的,把父母和具有贤良思虑长辈们的话语,放在心里,小心仔细聆听上师堪布僧人、具有菩提心者,以及心思贤良者等众的教诲之后,恭谨地放在心里头。莫让自己的心思仓促而行,坚稳住自己的心,在走入光明之道后,首先能够真实成办自利,然后要能够究竟利益他人。

 

女孩呀,妳如果走入佛道的话,要能了解佛法,很重要的是要了解藏文,所以需要慎重学习藏文。虽然会有些许辛苦,却能够成就很大的意义和目的。现在妳正在学的,是外道法,依靠那个,除了告诉妳如何大大成就此生此世的饱足、享受、名声、财富、权势以外,什么别的也没有了。世间法方面学有专精的科学家们,对于能够实证的事物以外,也可以观察到隐蔽的事物。可是他们对外在的四大元素当中的宝矿类,以及治疗疾病的药品类方面虽然有所专长,除了取出对于帮助自己、打击他人的种种物品的伏藏等等以外,并没有广大的智慧。从这方面来说,佛陀的智慧,不论是从世间角度还是佛法方面来看,都如同虚空一般广大,没有丝毫无所了知、无从观见之情事,被称之为“一切遍知”。所以如果能够了解他所说的法,自心不会心胸狭窄,而会如同黎明升起一般,让妳心胸开阔。是故,如此这般佛陀所说之法,完全是带给自他所有生命暂时和究竟莫大安乐的方法,所以呀,如果妳能够稍微了解佛法的话,也会有很大的利益,我请求妳把这番话牢牢地放在心中。

H.H. Yangthang left a letter to his niece's daughter before he passed into nirvana. This letter was found in his personal bag after his parinirvana. We believe that this letter is also the last teaching he bestowed to all of us. We are very grateful to Sangye Khandro, who translated this letter into English for all of us.

A bit of advice based on purest intentions for Tashi Chotso

Although you are still young, this is the time when your mind is fresh and clear. Now is the time to carefully consider your present human life and what will follow this. The wise ones of the past have said,” If you plan ahead, it is smart. If you regret later it is dumb.” So, that means you must carefully consider finding the correct direction to take that will benefit this life and the future. Once you have found this then it is extremely important to pursue that path whole heartedly. Once inadvertently entering the wrong direction it is difficult to turn around and reenter the right way even if you want to. You won’t be able to instantly turn around so from the onset it is best to get this right.

In short there are two paths to take, the worldly and the spiritual path. If you take the worldly path both this and the future life will be involved with suffering. This direction is very challenging because it involves the path of negativity and non-virtue. The spiritual path is the direction that illuminates fully endowed happiness and wellbeing both temporarily and ultimately. Even though that is the case, these days there are very few who chose to enter this illuminating path. Among the seven point three billion inhabitants of this planet, there are only several hundred thousand who are following the path of dharma. Everyone else is pursuing the worldly path. By only establishing non-virtue, then due to the power of negativity they must powerlessly pursue a misguided direction that leads to suffering. Having attained this precious human life just this once, they are distracted by meaningless activities on the path of cyclic existence and without even noticing their life is wasted. One day when death arrives they must leave behind this world, their loving parents, relatives, abundance and even their cherished body and enter their future life with eyes full of tears. Having spent their life only accumulating non-virtue they can only take rebirth in the three lower realms. Revolving within the three lower realms repeatedly, after some hundreds and thousands of human years they may take rebirth just once in a higher place. Experiencing continuous suffering for such a long time, by circling throughout the six realms, there will be no chance to achieve freedom from this.

This kind of worldly direction is a vast heap of suffering. Since it endures for so long it is actually a very frightening path. Due to the power of negative karma all humans will powerlessly proceed down this undesirable direction. That is why you, young girl, must make prayers that you can avoid this direction! If due to your karma you end up having to go there, please keep this advice strongly in your heart: Don’t react with frustration and try to make decisions by yourself; listen to the advice of your parents and elders who have good intentions; respect the advice of those with knowledge and learn to trust the Triple Gem and divinations concerning your future. Always look within yourself with careful consideration and walk with firm steps in the positive direction without mindlessly engaging in chaotic activities.

If you wish to choose the path of the sublime dharma, that would be the best! That is the correct illuminating path and it is the unmistaken way to go! First it is important to single pointedly trust in the Triple Gem and firmly cherish the advice of parents and elders, and listen and guard the teachings given to you from compassionate masters, monks and excellent practitioners. Keep your own mind stable and focused and without wavering enter this luminous path. First purely accomplish your own purpose and then work to benefit others.

If you, young girl can enter this path of the Buddha then in order to practice dharma you must study and learn the Tibetan language. This is very important. You must be diligent in studying Tibetan. Although it may be challenging, it will allow you to accomplish a greater purpose. Right now your focus is on worldly subjects in ordinary school. Through this knowledge you will only learn that which benefits the practical aspects of survival for this life alone. For example, you will learn how to get food, wealth, name, fame reputation and status. All those philosophers who are learned in western subjects such as science are able to identify that which is invisible to ordinary people. Nevertheless, although they see and extract that which is precious among the external four elements, have made medical discoveries that cure diseases, are able to benefit and protect their own direction and deliver that which is harmful to others, are expert in discovering substances that bring both benefit and harm into this world; their capacity to be omniscient is still extremely limited. If we compare that to the omniscience of the Buddha, then from a spiritual perspective the capacity of the buddha is equal to space. There is not even a hair’s worth of anything that cannot and is not known. That is called being fully and completely omniscient. If you come to understand the dharma that is taught by such an omniscient Buddha then your own mind will become like the sky and will never be rigid. Your entire being will be open and free. Since the teachings of the Buddha are full of such temporary and ultimate benefit to yourself and all others if you can learn even a little bit of this dharma that will bring tremendous achievement. Please hold this advice deep within your heart.
