Greetings and Tashi Delek!
Making offerings to Tsongkhapa in various ways plant the seeds for certain results. Is there a teaching suitable for a faithful novice student about the best offerings to give? An offering of flowers to His eyes produce a certain result, for example.
Does masterbation cause us to loss the pratimoksha vow of no sexual misconduct
Is masterbation considered sexual misconduct
Take depression as an example. There are many types of medication to treat depression. However, let's say the patient suffers from high blood pressure and depression. Because of their HBP, they cannot take certain medications for depression so the doctor has to assess the patient's condition, and prescribe the right medication which does not interfere with their blood pressure.
So think that the Dharma and the Buddhas are like the medicines that come in many different types, the teacher is the doctor and the student is the patient.
The Buddhas are so varied because the practitioners who rely upon them are so varied. Every student has their own delusions to deal with and their own karmic dispositions, which the teacher (as the doctor) assesses and then prescribes the Buddha and practice which is most effective for removing their delusions and furthering their practice.
If someone is always sick, then they should practise Medicine Buddha. If their minds always go up and down, and they suffer from illnesses like depression, Lama Tsongkhapa is excellent. If someone is very slow and dull, they should practise Manjushri for quickness and sharpness of the mind. If someone is very angersome, they should focus on Chenrezig / Avalokiteshvara. If someone suffers from tremendous ignorance, they should rely on Yamantaka. If someone has great desire, then Vajrayogini is their girl.
So there is a pantheon of Buddhist deities because every single sentient being is different. What suits you, won't necessarily suit me.
How does the lama assess a person's karmic affinity with the Buddhas? According to Rinpoche, it's nothing mystical. The lama assesses the student themselves, and the behaviours they manifest. Because our delusions have been developed and reinforced over countless lifetimes, they are very strong in us and it takes very little for such delusions to manifest in our actions and speech.
Can you practise Vajrayogini to develop Manjushri's wisdom? Chenrezig to gain Dzambala's wealth? Yamantaka to gain healing in the way of Medicine Buddha? Of course you can because the enlightened mind is all the same; all of the Buddhas are compassionate and practising any of them will lead to the same eventual goal. BUT the actual practices help us to focus on different aspects, and are therefore that much faster in developing that one quality within us. So to practise Vajrayogini to develop Manjushri's wisdom IS possible, but it'll be slower because that's not what her practice, visualisations and prayers are focused on.
So why do we focus on one Buddha then? Because that is the delusion that's strongest within us, that presents the greatest obstacle to our Enlightenment.
Now i would like to ask if our yidam is white tara, and our strongest problem is financial difficulties should we throw away white tara and focus on dzambhala? as most of our problems and strongest delusion were not permenant and always changing, so thus this mean we also need to always change our yidam from time to time? or do both which means yidam and a side practice? if so then it will be troublesome because at the same time it is hard to identify our strongest problem, as if like sometimes all problems that we experiencing literally have the similar level, all like same strong and all were like interconected…. so if like that we literally need to do all deities that were available, and this may confuses us at the time of death, as we do not know which yidam to depend on. For example lets say i see that i have 84000 afflictive emotions and all were similar strong, and i put the effort to rely on 84000 thousand varied buddhas to antidote my mind, now at the time of death which buddha shall i recite? should consistently switch my visualization of the buddhas too? as you said So to practise Vajrayogini to develop Manjushri's wisdom IS possible, but it'll be slower because that's not what her practice, visualisations and prayers are focused on. So now how?
Dear Sir, I have been suffering from spirit attacks for more than 12 years. Because of this, I have changed my life in many ways. I am trying my best to follow the Dharma of our Lord the Buddha. I am a vegetarian and I do take the four vow every morning. With this change, I have learn to develop strength and endurance with the incredible pain I have to bear everyday, including sleepless nights. I have traveled to India and Nepal, looking for healers, but the problem only gets worse. Whatever spirit it's, it doesn't want me to get marry. It darkened my skin to a degree that makes it too horrible to look upon. It fills my belly with gas every night, horrible dreams, loss of appetite, car accidents, difficulty in making female friends. and more. Can you please help me, brother?
I am a full time student in college and life is too difficult to continue. Can I come to you for help occasionally, doesn't matter where you are?
Dear Pastors,
Thank you for the feedback and the answers to my questions. They were very helpful.
I would like to clarify that I don't have many, if any doubts about Buddha's teachings, ultimately. What I do have doubts about are the at least some of the organizations, institutions, practices, and teachers which have sprung up after Buddha passed to Parinirvana. An excellent example of this is the Dorje Shugden controversy. I've listened carefully to both sides and really have done my honest best to research the issues as well as experiment with my own practice. Personally, I found that Dorje Shugden did not help me in a time when I was in extreme difficulty (I believe I was ultimately saved by Medicine Buddha and Green Tara; thinking of Dorje Shugden only made me angrier until I snapped and went to Menla and then to Green Tara). I still love and respect Tsem Rinpoche and his followers because they also have helped me through tough times effectively, even if I choose not to worship Dorje Shugden (because, after all, religious acceptance and tolerance are what Tsem Rinpoche preaches and I try my best to practice that). In the end, I follow Buddha's last words while in this physical form: "Behold, O monks, this is my last advice to you. All component things in the world are changeable. They are not lasting. Work hard to gain your own salvation."
I understand the reasons for keeping to strict samayas with teachers and to respect and honor them in order to preserve the teachings in their correct form. However, it seems to me that guru devotion is, like all things, something else that can be taken too far to an extreme, even if it is well intended by the student (which is what, I believe, HH the Dalai Lama is getting at when he rejects the Dorje Shugden teachings). In the end, the ultimate teaching that I get from Manjushri is that all concepts are void of special meaning, and that that concept itself (the concept of nothing) is also void of inherent meaning. The biggest challenge of Buddhism, I think, is to walk the fine line between being institutional for the sake of connecting to people, while also being non-institutitional for the sake of being consistent with its own teachings of non-institutionalism.
To wrap up, I suppose my biggest concern now is how to live life as best as I can for other beings while avoiding perpetuating the violence that I know was in my past lives. I think I've fought for so long in so many different wars and conflicts for the sake of others, that I'll likely repeat it again if I'm not careful. What's worse, the situation is getting as such in the US that I'm worried I'll be compelled to fight again, and create more suffering for others through my actions in order to preserve the larger body of humanity from suffering worse. Is there any way I can purify myself of this karma to prevent others from being hurt and myself from being compelled to hurt others to save more? I see no reason to continue on the pain of others or myself, and I'd like to both free and be freed of that pain.
Thank you, and many blessings to you all!
Dear Pastor,
I understand that when any forms of action whether it be mental or physical are performed, it will have its results in the form of karma (cause
Dear Pastors,
Thank you for your reply to my last question. I suppose I'm still confused as to how one or others can tell if they are one way or another if they're being honest with themselves about how things are in existence. Who am I to declare myself a Once Returner, or a Bodhisattva, or a Buddha for that matter? How can we tell whether we are experiencing ego or whether we are experiencing an honest truth about our current state?
I remember watching the movie "The Matrix", and what the Oracle said to Neo about being "The One". She first denied that he is the one (when he in fact was the one), and said that it's like being in love; you just know it. I know exactly that she meant it will happen regardless of whatever anyone says or does (just as love works in that same mysterious fashion). I suppose I may be just insecure in my position, especially when it seems that there is much confusion among the Lamas and students of Lamas alike. How is one to tell when and if they are able to accept such a "crown", when it is taboo to accept it for oneself, and the judges are so questionable in their skill to judge it?
Hoping you can help. Thank you very much!
With all respect.
i have high levels of testosterone as such this come with extreme sexual desire. I have tried many meditations and dharmas but noting seems to work. Recently i have been given the opportunity to get the vajrayogini and heruka empowerments but i am worried that i may not be able to hold the vows due to sexual desire, therefore i don't know if i should get it.
Good evening/morning dear Pastors,
I've been reading about Sakadagami (Once Returners). I'm asking because I see fighting Samsara as pointless, and would rather just be at peace within myself and not have to worry about Samsara or being reborn in it. I wish I could know whether or not I will be reborn, or whether I have cleared the necessary stages to be a Sakadagami. I'm not understanding why or how I am still here in this plane of existence and I want an accurate understanding of whether or not I will be able to pass soon onto Parinirvana. With all due respect.
Dear Pastor,
I understand 'things' happen as a result of cause and effect. Things just do not appear out of nowhere, there must be a 'creator'. A house is built because someone has created it, there must be a maker, a designer, a creator which causes the existence of something. What i want to ask is, is there anywhere in the Buddhist scriptures that explained how the earth was created or how humans came into existence? my limited understanding says that it is a result of karma, but how and where did this karma or cause came from in the beginning if there was no earth or humans before the earth or human came to be. Surely the earth or humans could not have appeared out of nowhere (without a cause).
i hope my question makes sense and i look forward to your response.
I read some of your responses in here and throughout your website and was wondering if you can provide further insight. Back in early 2000's I was diagnosed with an illness. Because of the illness I would hear voices, often think I could read people's thoughts. I just thought it was illness until I came across your website. I didn't recall this before, but a year or two before the illness, I had practiced some meditation be stopped well before my experience. I had an out-of-body experience where some entity had flew out of my body. During the experience I felt like I had a calling to leave the world and be lifted into the Heavens. I didn't follow the calling though, I was worried about the unknown. My heart was pure but my memory was polluted and that's what I really believed held me back. Over the course of the next 12 or 13 years I would go through many hospitalizations. I read somewhere about a person who had practiced meditation and prayer and experienced the same illness as I did with the voices, etc. From what I read, this person kept up with the prayer and meditation and was able to control what they were experiencing. The voices didn't go away, but the person was now able to manage and live a normal life. I thought it was just another story. I didn't have hope for myself until I came across your website. Can you please point me in the right direction? I need some guidance to channel these voices and experiences. Thanks.
Is it ok to do white manjushri sadhana several times a day? Is it vert powerful?
Dear Venerable Pastors,
First of all, I would like to thank you for this remarkable website and the wealth of information and wisdom contained within. This website has been a wonderful blessing for me and I am grateful that my good karma has brought me to it.
Since discovery of your website, I have gained much knowledge and insight from it. It has acted a beacon for my life's journey and because of it, I believe I have been steadily climbing in my state of consciousness and enlightment. I feel that there is still much in the way for me to gain, but I look forward to taking each step forward with much greater appreciation, compassion and humility.
I approach you today because I have a love interest overseas in my native country. We have never met, but I feel that we could be destined for each other. We have both approached monks for their personal readings, if I may call it that, and have received mixed messaged.
There are difficulties in our relationship because of the clash of cultures between where we live. As I try to approach our relationship from a Western stand point, where I would like to make the trip overseas to meet her and her parents, but save the engagement/wedding for subsequent trips, my mother has urged me to have the wedding on the first trip.
Another difficulty lies in the communication between us, in part due to the cultures of our geographic, but also in part due to our difference in age/experience. I had expressed to her that I only wanted 2 or 3 children, and suggested the years that I wanted them. She became confused and may not quite understand my position clearly.
Lastly, I wanted to know why it is so difficult for me to save money for the trip, even though I want nothing more in the world than to make the trip to see her. In my lifetime, I feel that I am submerged and just when I am about to get ahead or catch up financially, the situation or my energy level changes and I am not able to get ahead. Is this because of bad karma? What can I do to help me save for the trip and marriage? I would also like to know how to get ahead and stop feeling submerged, and whether you have any books to recommend.
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Dear Pastor, I was reading Rinpoche’s book “Be happy” and something caught my eye strongly and made me ponder about his reasoning. It is said that when we see somebody born with a seemingly easy life to outsiders, it is in fact a manifestation of his/her very bad karma in this lifetime and they go around hurting people? I would like to relate this to my personal experience of a person who has hurt me very badly by spreading untruths about me, as well as some unpleasant physical actions. She’s the only child and based on what I know is quite fortunate in this lifetime, spends a lot on herself, has many friends, doting mother etc. However her attitude towards people, friends or strangers depends on her mood, and it can be normal or very unpleasant both in speech and action. She’s very good at gossips too. She feels that this is’ just her’. She’s apologetic towards me at the beginning after I reported on her, citing that she’s not sure what she did to affect me deeply. However now she’s rather cold towards me again. After months of Dharma study I have learnt to accept the law of cause and effect and realized that it is not right to resent and retaliate in the past, as well as to transform my mind to let go, let go of the worldly concerns to be attached to people/repel away unpleasant encounters. My question: could this my real life example of a “good life person” having the bad karma manifesting in this life which might haunt them in the next? Because to the untrained it does seems like the person is enjoying plenty of good karma despite many harmful things done through mental, speech and actions and the law of cause and effect doesn’t exist. In this way, I should practice compassion towards her (I do actually, no more resentment) even though she still sees me as dirt.
I am so tired of having to support everyone in the family. How am I going to retire without a single sen? I have been praying to Dorge Shugden but help does not seem to come. What else can I do even if Dharma protectors also won't help me?
Please help! Got no money to perform expensive Pujas also.

为社区服务,从不言倦
具有在家人的外表,却背负出家人的责任,讲法师自然而然就扮演了僧伽和一般修行者之间的桥梁。他们是跟你我一样的凡人,却跨出了非凡的一步,将一生用来弘扬佛法。作为持戒的在家人,讲法师让更多人有机会接触佛法,为人们提供指导和知识。讲法师们通常会驻守克切拉佛教中心,随时准备为人们进行辅导。欲知详情,请联系 house@kechara.com。
作为讲法师,谢松平主要是透过法会、仪式、辅导和分享佛法知识,将此生用在协助詹杜固仁波切弘法利生的事业上。
谢松平于2011年被授任为讲法师,他的佛法事业既丰富又多元,既曾在克切拉天堂文物中心担任过举足轻重的职务,也曾是尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的私人助理,不仅到过不同圣地朝圣,也接受过多项高级瑜伽密续灌顶。他熟悉多种法会仪式,对佛法也有深入的理解。
作为讲法师,谢松平主要是透过法会、仪式、辅导和分享佛法知识,将此生用在协助詹杜固仁波切弘法利生的事业上。
当谢松平第一次遇见詹杜固仁波切时,仁波切就问他是否愿意出家为僧。虽然那是谢松平的心愿,不过当时的他还是告诉仁波切,自己打算迟一些再出家。对谢松平来说,本身既然已经是全职佛法工作者,出家将会是最好的事。仁波切不时都会提醒谢松平为出家做准备,而他也答应自己未来将会出家。
克切拉从零开始发展至今日的克切拉禅修林这么大规模的计划——谢松平觉得,目前正是他出家的最佳时刻。于是当仁波切再次问起他出家的打算时,他就一口答应了。
J仁爱希望成为传承宗喀巴大师法教的媒介,利益年轻下一代;并且启发更多人把佛陀的教诲实践在生活里。
由于邝仁爱的父母亲很多年前就开始跟克切拉有很深的接触,所以她年幼时期就遇见了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切。没有仁波切的日子,对她来说是难于想象的。仁爱自小就在詹拉章当志工。在考获英国伦敦沃里克大学心理学学士后,她在伦敦缓刑管理局工作。之后回到马来西亚加入E 部门,负责管理kechara.com的每周 Kechara 电子新闻,工作内容包括撰稿和审稿。较后,她加入仁波切的写作小组,负责执行仁波切的指示,以及管理仁波切的往来信件。
在2004年参访印度的一家僧尼庵之后,仁爱说,她还记得当时看见里面的每个人都洋溢着快乐的笑脸,大家的生活都很有目标。她也感觉很熟悉,看在她眼里,僧袍是如此的舒服和自在。在征询了母亲的意见后,仁爱立即给仁波切发短信告诉他自己想要出家的念头。当时仁波切劝告她必须先完成大学学业,如此一来,当她讲法时,一言一语才能有力量和深度。她是在将来要出家为僧尼的推动力下完成大学学业。
仁爱希望透过出家为僧尼,把自己当成传承宗喀巴大师法教的媒介,利益年轻下一代;并且启发更多人把佛陀的教诲实践在生活里。她希望通过这样的方式来回报父母亲和上师的恩惠。此外,她也希望自己和别人都能同时离苦得乐。
对稚鑫而言,下定决心努力利益众生及通过分享佛法来回报他人恩惠,是她所跨出的一大步。
在加入克切拉之前,陈稚鑫是一名讲师、课程内容编写员,同时也负责编写电子学习方案。在负责给各大学院教职人员准备“特殊用途英语”(ESP)训练课程的当儿,她受邀出席尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的开示。这场开示重新点燃她对藏传佛教的兴趣,唤起她年少时经常跟父母出席佛法开示的美好回忆。
2006年,陈稚鑫加入克切拉媒体出版社,成为全职的市场执行员,负责把仁波切的教诲推广到世界各角落。如今,稚鑫是詹拉章的一员,负责照顾仁波切的世俗事务,让仁波切专注于弘法利生工作。
稚鑫说,当她决定加入克切拉当全职职工时,就誓言要把此生用在做一些利益众生的事。由于在仁波切身边侍奉,她亲见上师即使面对多艰巨的挑战,都不曾言倦地协助别人,弘扬甘丹寺的传承佛法;这让她明了出家为尼是她的下一步,如此才能创造向上师学习佛法的条件。这也是稚鑫努力利益众生及通过分享佛法回报他人恩惠,所跨出的一大步。
自从在克切拉找到了自己的心灵归宿后,婉如就把佛法事业作为她人生的使命,并希望将一生都用来弘法利生。
婉如在2010年底无意中发现了詹杜固仁波切的博客,之后就一直跟随仁波切的博客和面子书。在2012年7月自台湾法鼓文理学院考获佛教学系文学硕士学位后,婉如就回到马来西亚加入克切拉成为资深教育执行员。婉如深受仁波切说法时的直率风格所吸引,也惊叹于克切拉在仁波切的领导下所取得的发展成绩。对她而言,仁波切是一位言行一致、言出必行、真心关怀他人的大师。他无疑是上师依止心的最佳榜样,这也是婉如一心要在自己心里生起的美好特质。
自从在克切拉找到了自己的心灵归宿后,婉如就把佛法事业作为她人生的使命。2013年5月,她正式请求仁波切授予她出家戒,她希望通过出家将生命完全奉献在弘法利生上。婉如说,出家意味着自己真诚回应内在的呼唤,即将佛法贯彻于生活及造福他人。
T这个目标唯有在遇见根本上师并向他学习后才可能达到;婉如很幸运的遇见了自己的根本上师——尊贵的詹杜固仁波切。
尼拉请求出家受戒,一方面是为了提升自己,另一方面也希望能透过学习传承法教,将纯净的教诲延续到下一代。他发愿要像上师詹杜固仁波切利益他那样来造福其他人。
尼拉在英国出生和长大,大学时期主修人类学。毕业之后,他曾先后在一家酒店式公寓及旅馆公司及一家管理公司担任财务管理员。在一个偶然的机缘下,他在网络上发现了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的 Youtube 频道。正是透过仁波切的教诲,尼拉开始明白如果想要自利利他,最重要的就是要修习佛法。
在网络上与仁波切“结缘”之后,尼拉一直都与詹杜固仁波切其中一位在英国的弟子保持联系。在后者的鼓励下,他于2012年底专程前来马来西亚克切拉佛教中心进行十天的访问和学习。离开前,詹杜固仁波切要求尼拉加入克切拉佛教团体。尼拉毅然答应了。
2013年2月,尼拉离开英国迁移到马来西亚,开始在克切拉佛教中心担任教育协调员一职,协助教育小组编排和实施新课程纲要,同时也参与克切拉周日儿童佛法班的授课工作。自遇见詹杜固仁波切以来,仁波切不断鼓励他多从事佛法事业,努力改进自己。尼拉也将仁波切的叮嘱铭记于心,正因如此,他决定向詹杜固仁波切提出出家的请求。
尼拉请求出家受戒,一方面是为了提升自己,另一方面也希望能透过学习传承法教,将纯净的教诲延续到下一代。他发愿要像上师詹杜固仁波切利益他那样来造福其他人。
锦丽专注于透过佛法分享、辅导、法会和其他佛教服务,给每一个走入克切拉的人指引和帮助。她希望能藉由协助弘扬宗喀巴大师的殊胜法教及启发别人踏上灵修之路来报答上师的恩惠。这也是亲爱的上师一直以来对她的劝告。
锦丽在2006年跟友人前往金双威用餐时发现了克切拉佛教中心,之后立即参与了克切拉主办的活动。她更踊跃参与了当时的一千万《缘悲经》念诵闭关。 2006年4月,锦丽遇见了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切,也第一次出席了仁波切的开示,那次的开示让锦丽禁不止流泪。当时的她并不明白自己哭泣的原因,直到后来她才明白那是因为自己终于找到了完美的上师,而仁波切慈悲地以身示教的弘法方式更是深深感动了她。
锦丽在2009年加入克切拉佛教中心成为全职职工,负责内部事务。目前,她是克切拉佛教中心其中一位前台服务经理,主要驻派在彭亨文冬的禅修林。此外,她也在星期天的佛法班授课,并经常作为詹杜固仁波切博客聊天室的协调员。
仁波切的许多教诲改变了她生命里的轻重缓急。她在佛法中找到了生命的目标,也意识到只有跟随佛陀的慈悲和智慧之道,才是克服痛苦和愤怒的方法。 这个领悟让她提出了出家的请求。
锦丽目前是一位佛教讲法师,将来会出家为僧尼。她将专注于透过佛法分享、辅导、法会和其他佛教服务,给每一个走入克切拉的人指引和帮助。她希望能藉由协助弘扬宗喀巴大师的殊胜法教及启发别人踏上灵修之路来报答上师的恩惠。
罗胜彪决心协助仁波切弘扬佛法,带着这个坚定的决心,罗胜彪放弃到剑桥大学继续研读博士学位(他当时已获录取)的机会,也辞去了研究工作,全职协助仁波切从事佛法事业,至今从不言悔。
罗胜彪于2001年初遇尊贵的詹杜固仁波切时,并没想过自己会全心全意投入佛法事业。那一年,工程系硕士学位毕业的他正在新加坡从事工程研究工作。然而,仁波切的开示让他留下非常深刻的印象。跟仁波切有过几次接触之后,罗胜彪开始为仁波切和克切拉架设网站。
罗胜彪虽是理科班出生,却深感人生有许多疑问是科学无法圆满解答的。与此同时,他也发现任凭科学技术再怎么发达,也不能真正解决人类所面对的难题,因为今天科技发达,生活水准比起几千年前高出许多,但是人类仍然面对着同样的问题,我们也不见得过得比古人幸福快乐。
在接触仁波切之后,罗胜彪很快就意识到佛法是解决这些问题的究竟方案,而仁波切采用的方法也非常适合现代社会。因此,罗胜彪决心协助仁波切弘扬佛法,带着这个坚定的决心,罗胜彪放弃到剑桥大学继续研读博士学位(他当时已获录取)的机会,也辞去了研究工作,全职协助仁波切从事佛法事业,至今从不言悔。
对罗胜彪而言,遇见仁波切是个全新的人生经历。仁波切让他看到了佛法可以在跳出传统框架的同时,依然保留其精髓。因为身为仁波切的私人助理,罗胜彪有过许多不可思议的经历。他自认非常幸运,能亲眼见证仁波切无论在法座上或生活中,都把佛法化为具体的行动。这些经验在在考验他,挑战他每时每刻都修持佛法。透过这个方式,仁波切成功地剔除他既往偏重佛法仪式的陈腐思维模式。
罗胜彪因亲见仁波切以身示法,所以深信要让心识提升至更高层次,进而获得证悟是绝对可能的。这种种因素促使罗胜彪再踏出一步,受任成为讲法师,好让自己能更有效地弘扬佛法和利益众生。
个性内向的郭月谊,凭着勇气和决心,将本身的弱点转为优点,还一一将曾经的不可能都化为可能。
郭月谊从9岁起就必须学会独立,年幼的她必须一边上学,一边还要打工赚钱养家。她个性内向,不善于表达自己的想法,朋友也不多,所以她在毕业后加入报馆成为记者,让许多认识她的人大跌眼镜。
郭月谊在光明日报和南洋商报任职期间,曾因表现优异而获奖。写作让她找到了一个抒发感受和想法的管道,而她的文章也为她吸引了一众读者。然而,这一切都不能带给月谊真正的满足。短暂的快乐并不是她所要的——成功、金钱、关系和名誉并不是快乐的关键。
在寻找快乐的过程中,月谊遇见了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切。仁波切告诉她“不要以言语来反驳他人,反而应利用文字来好好表达自己。”这促使她加入克切拉媒体出版社成为撰稿人,后升任为资深编辑,同时也是詹杜固仁波切的其中一位协调助理。
郭月谊目前是克切拉佛教中心的主席,也是首席讲法师,除了讲法师的日常事务如辅导、法会、讲课之余,她也必须管理和安排克切拉佛教中心和讲法师团体中的各种大小事务。这些年在克切拉的所学和经历,让她拥有一个更宽容和开放的胸襟,使她更懂得安抚和辅导那些有需要的人。而她后期培养出的讲课和栽培新人的能力,也给许多人带来了希望。

担任讲法师职位长达一年后,谢晓晶决定更新戒誓,继续扛起讲法师的责任。
谢晓晶在1999年毕业于广州暨南大学,持有内外全科医学学士学位。之后,她在吉隆坡一间中医学院兼任讲授西方医学的讲师多年。
一直以来,虽然谢晓晶表面上看似一位无神论者,但是潜意识里却不断寻找一位可回答她深藏在内心疑问的精神导师。这些得不到解答的疑问曾在大学时期导致她陷入忧郁状态。为此,谢晓晶经常透过阅读哲学书籍,以期能得到问题的解答。
2007年,谢晓晶经由她十年好友郭月谊讲法师的介绍,初次来到了克切拉。 谢晓晶对完全没有信仰的老友月谊讲法师的彻底改变感到非常惊讶和好奇。在一次偶然的机会下,谢晓晶阅读了克切拉媒体(简称:克媒)出版社的《贪得无厌》。起初,她惯性地以怀疑的态度阅读,试图找出书中谬误之处。然而, 这一次她不仅找不到漏洞,反而对书中逻辑条理分明的解释留下深刻的印象。
2009年3月,谢晓晶加入克媒兼任中文翻译和抄录工作。翌年,她慎重考虑未来的事业方向,思考如何在医学和佛法事业中做出取舍。最终,她选择了佛法事业。谢晓晶领悟到两者虽然同为救济职业,但她相信佛法事业能更深入地利益一切有情。

在完成硕士学位后,林汉妮考虑继续考取教育博士学位,或打算在退休之后好好去旅游和探望亲友。与此同时,她也在寻找灵修上的方向。因此,林汉妮开始探讨上座部和中国大乘佛教的教义,以期能找到人生的答案。
2004年12月,林汉妮参加了尊贵的格列仁波切举办的《菩提道次第》及白度母闭关。在闭关期间,林汉妮发现自己的问题逐渐有了答案。然后,在 2005年6月,她在姐姐的介绍下来到克切拉,也因此遇见了她的精神导师尊贵的詹杜固仁波切。詹杜固仁波切最近劝告她必须为了众生的利益全神投入佛法事业。
虽然林汉妮有接近二十年的校园辅导经验,但直到亲眼目睹尊贵的詹杜固仁波切如何协助她的母亲得到临终前的平静后,林汉妮才意识到自己也希望以佛法来触动他人。
目前,林汉妮除了是克切拉法会小组成员,在克切拉祈愿堂进行赞助法会以外,还是克切拉教育小组的成员,专注于编著教育内容。此外,林汉妮也是詹杜固仁波切博客的每周“克切拉聊天室小组”成员之一。
在2014年,黎国圆本着想要帮助更多人的心愿,决定受戒成为佛教讲法师,继续为克切拉团体提供一切与佛法相关的服务。
黎国圆跟随尊贵的詹杜固仁波切学法长达10余年,属于克切拉初创时期的成员之一。他于2005年加入克切拉天堂文物中心成为全职员工,后来也曾陆续在克切拉团体的其他部门服务。
打从一开始,詹杜固仁波切就鼓励黎国圆投入写作工作。在克服了种种障碍后,黎国圆终于展开写作生涯,并在2009年推出他的第一本著作和自传《There’ s No Way But Up》(不进则退)。这本书记述了他自幼的灵修旅程,直到他遇见根本上师――尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的种种经历。
世界各地读者对“There’ s No Way But Up”一书的热烈反应推动黎国圆继续撰写其他著作,包括尼泊尔朝圣指南《Vajrayogini and other Power Places in Nepal》(金刚瑜伽母及尼泊尔其他圣地)、短篇故事集《Tales My Lama Told Me》(上师告诉我的那些传说)以及关于情感关系的《Conversations in Love》(亲密对话)。这些著作给许多人带来启发,也将无数人带向佛法的殿堂。
除了写作,黎国圆自从在克切拉天堂工作的时期开始,就非常热衷于跟他人分享佛法。这些年来,黎国圆从詹杜固仁波切那里接受了无数宝贵的教诲,内容涵盖詹杜固仁波切的公开开示以及仁波切给黎国圆的个人指示和忠告。在大家的印象中,黎国圆一直都是个十分热衷于分享佛法的人。无论他到哪儿去,遇见什么人,他都会热情地与他人分享佛法。在2014年,黎国圆本着想要帮助更多人的心愿,决定受戒成为佛教讲法师,继续为克切拉团体提供一切与佛法相关的服务。
跟随仁波切学法多年之后,黄松发深明讲法师在克切拉团体扮演的重要角色,因此他希望自己也能成为一名讲法师,以进一步为仁波切、克切拉及社会大众服务。
黄松发于1952年出生在马来西亚槟城州。1969年中五毕业后,他南下吉隆坡寻找就业机会。多年来他从事过各种不同的行业,也曾面对失业的窘境。就在1997至1998年期间,正在待业的他受邀到表妹林秀月家中(现为拿督林秀月)参加詹杜固仁波切的佛法开示。第一次的会面,就让他对詹杜固仁波切深入浅出的教法留下了十分深刻的印象。
在仁波切慈悲的开示和引导下,黄松发两夫妻进行了他们首次的闭关修行。他和妻子李淑芳也在仁波切的建议下开始经营小生意,并在很短的时间内就盈利。几年后,克切拉佛教中心正式成立,仁波切开始遴选弟子担任协调助理,而黄松发和拿督林秀月就在那时候毛遂自荐担起这项任务。后来,随着越来越多弟子加入协调助理的阵容,克切拉协调助理理事会也跟着正式成立。今天,协调助理理事会虽已改名为董事会,黄松发却依旧是其中一员。
黄松发目前的职务为克切拉禅修林工程总监,主要负责监督禅修林大小项目的建设以及确保工程能如期完工。在这之前,他曾担任克切拉天堂文物中心部门主管长达10年。此外,黄松发也是克切拉团体多个部门的总监,并曾在2012至2013年期间受委为克切拉佛教中心副主席。
跟随仁波切学法多年之后,黄松发深明讲法师在克切拉团体扮演的重要角色,因此他希望自己也能成为一名讲法师,以进一步为仁波切、克切拉及社会大众服务。黄松发计划在晚年出家为僧,而担任讲法师一职正有助于他朝这个目标前进。黄松发深信:当一个人的年纪越大,就越应该为死亡的逼近做好准备。他认为能身着僧袍在克切拉禅修林迎接死亡是生命最美丽的终结。然而,在那一刻到来之前,黄松发希望自己能继续竭尽所能为克切拉禅修林、社区和前来禅修林的每一个人服务。当体力再也无法负荷的时候,他会请求仁波切允许他在克切拉禅修林投入闭关。
如今,秀云最渴望的是把自己的余生都投入佛法工作和修行,从而利益更多人。
在投入佛法工作前,秀云是一位空闲的家庭主妇。20年前,她有幸遇见了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切和前往甘丹寺朝圣。这一个星期的朝圣之旅改变了她的人生观,让她觉悟到人生除了吃喝、逛街和玩乐,还有其他更有意义的事。她喜欢仁波切的佛法开示,因为那不但符合逻辑和实践性强,且还特别强调利益他人的重要性。仁波切让佛法显得浅显易懂,而他一直以来的忠告总是“改变内在,而非外在”。
实修佛法多年之后,林秀云于2009年决定在本身居住的槟城设立佛教文物中心,以期跟更多人结下佛缘。她知道仁波切的佛法教诲十分实用,十分适合现代人,而仁波切佛法事业也能利惠许多人,所以她希望跟更多人分享仁波切的教诲,也希望能借此来回报仁波切多年来对她的恩惠和指导。今天,位于槟城的克切拉天堂不仅仅是一间文物店,还是一个主办佛法分享会、法会和放生活动的地方。
2010年,同样也是在仁波切的加持下,秀云在槟城设立了克切拉香积厨活动中心,秉持仁波切强调“以行动展现慈悲”的精神,积极为减轻流浪汉和贫困家庭的苦痛出一份力。槟城克切拉香积厨除了每周四次的派饭行动,也每月一次为赤贫家庭提供基本食粮。
如今,秀云最渴望的是,用自己的余生投入佛法工作和修行,从而利益更多人。
利荣于2008年加入克切拉天堂文物中心成为兼职员工。然而,在对仁波切和克切拉事业有了进一步的了解之后,仁波切的慈悲深深触动了他。与此同时,他也意识到这份工作让他的生命更具意义,因此毅然全职加入克切拉团体。
作为克切拉天堂的业务执行员,让利荣有机会从仁波切的教诲中学习到更多佛法。这些佛法智慧让他能够帮助那些走入文物中心的人们解决各种问题,从而改善他们的生命。
这些经历让利荣很快地就决定跟随仁波切的步伐,并在2016年受戒成为讲法师,进一步以佛法来服务和造福他人。
