Baru-baru ini, komunitas Tibet di seluruh dunia merayakan Losar atau Tahun Baru Tibet. Perayaan ini biasanya berlangsung selama 15 hari, dan tiga hari pertama adalah yang paling penting. Pada hari pertama tahun baru, Penubuat Panglung biasanya dirasuk Pelindung Dharma Dorje Shugden untuk memberikan pernyataan umum untuk tahun tersebut.

Garis inkarnasi Penubuat Panglung telah dirasuk Dorje Shugden selama banyak generasi. Tradisi penubuat yang terkemuka ini diturunkan dari ayah kepada putranya dan sangat terkenal di seluruh pelosok Tibet. Penubuat Panglung juga terkenal karena pernyataannya yang akurat dan sering menyelamatkan hidup. Bahkan, salah satu contoh yang paling banyak diketahui adalah ketika Penubuat Panglung ke 6 menyelamatkan Yang Suci Dalai Lama ke 14. Sang penubuat, dalam keadaan terasuk Dorje Shugden, menasihati Yang Suci untuk segera pergi meninggalkan Tibet, dan bahkan menyarankan rute spesifik yang harus digunakan dalam perjalanan menuju India, dan karenanya menyelamatkan hidup Yang Suci.

Penubuat Panglung juga dirasuk banyak Pelindung Dharma. Akan tetapi, yang paling terkenal adalah Dorje Shugden. Diantara Pelindung Dharma yang merasuk sang penubuat, Dorje Shugden unik karena kemampuannya untuk berada dalam tubuh seorang penubuat untuk waktu yang lebih lama. Pada saat merasuk, yang bisa berlangsung selama beberapa jam, Dorje Shugden memberikan ajaran Dharma, prediksi, nasihat, bimbingan dan berkat. Tidak ada Pelindung Dharma lain yang memberikan ajaran Dharma ketika merasuk penubuat. Ini adalah refleksi sifat sebenarnya dari Dorje Shugden sebagai Buddha Kebijaksanaan, Manjushri. Dan ini juga merupakan bukti bahwa kehidupan terdahulu Dorje Shugden sebagai Panchen Sonam Drakpa, Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen dan banyak lainnya, yang merupakan cendikiawan cemerlang, guru agung, pemikir dan guru-guru pada jamannya.

 

Mengenai Pernyataan Tahun Ini

Secara sekilas, pernyataan Dorje Shugden tahun ini lebih singkat dan padat dibanding tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Setelah memberikan sambutan biasa, sang Pelindung mulai dengan mengingatkan kita untuk memberikan persembahan dan mengumpulkan pahala, karena inilah cara seorang praktisi merayakan peristiwa-peristiwa penting.

Dorje Shugden juga mengingatkan kita untuk membangkitkan motivasi altruisme yang lebih besar daripada hanya menolong mereka yang dekat dan kita sayangi. Beliau juga menasihati kita untuk membangkitkan aspirasi guna memberi manfaat bagi semua makhluk hidup karena hal inilah yang membuat aspirasi kita baik. Dorje Shugden kemudian berbicara sedikit mengenai kelahiran kita sebagai manusia yang berharga dan kita harus merenungkan betapa langkanya kesempatan untuk bertemu dengan ajaran sang Buddha dan lebih langka lagi untuk bertemu dengan garis Lama Tsongkhapa.

Pada saat ini, Dorje Shugden berbicara mengenai bagaimana Lama Tsongkhapa ‘menyusun kembali’ ajaran Buddha dengan tujuan membuatnya lebih mudah diakses oleh para praktisi. Hal ini memudahkan kita dalam berlatih dari mendapatkan kelahiran kembali yang lebih baik berulang kali – khususnya kehidupan sebagai manusia yang berharga. Dengan pernyataan ini, Dorje Shugden mengingatkan kita untuk mempelajari ajaran Buddha seperti Lamrim dan Tiga Prinsip Utama Jalan. Kedua ajaran ini adalah warisan sakral dari Lama Tsongkhapa yang menggambarkan perjalanan spiritual menuju pencerahan setahap demi setahap. Bila kita merenungkan dan mempraktikkannya, ajaran-ajaran ini akan membawa pada kelahiran kembali yang baik sebagai manusia untuk melanjutkan perjalanan spiritual kita.

Dorje Shugden secara spesifik merujuk pada praktisi awam yang terlibat dalam hal-hal duniawi dan menasihati mereka untuk tidak melalaikan praktik Dharma. Mengetahui bahwa praktisi awam akan terlibat dalam hal-hal duniawi ini, Dorje Shugden menasihati bahwa walaupun setiap orang mencari kebahagiaan, bila kita menikmati tindakan-tidakan tidak baik, kita hanya akan menciptakan sebab bagi penderitaan kita sendiri. Karenanya, Dorje Shugden menganjurkan kita agar lebih waspada dalam bertindak dan memprioritaskan praktik Dharma. Kita tidak boleh menganggap praktik Dharma sebagai sesuatu untuk direnungkan kemudian atau sesuatu yang paling akhir dalam daftar hal-hal yang akan kita lakukan.

Dorje Shugden melanjutkan dengan menekankan pentingnya praktik pemurnian dan melakukannya dengan baik dengan menggunakan Empat Kekuatan Lawan, yang terdiri dari:

  1. Kekuatan Obyek – berlindung pada Tiga Permata dan membangkitkan Bodhicitta.
  2. Kekuatan Penyesalan – merasakan penyesalan yang amat sangat dari tindakan negatif yang telah kita lakukan.
  3. Kekuatan Penawar – melakukan praktik pemurnian seperti Vajrasattva atau 35 Buddha Pengakuan, yang sangat efektif dalam memurnikan karma negatif.
  4. Kekuatan Tekad – mengembangkan tekad yang kuat untuk tidak mengulangi tindakan negatif.

Menurut Dorje Shugden, karma negatif yang lebih kecil bisa dimurnikan seluruhnya. Kita tidak perlu mengalami akibatnya. Di sisi lain, karma negatif yang lebih besar dan berat akan dilemahkan. Kita tidak perlu mengalami akibat secara keseluruhan, jadi penderitaan kita akan berkurang. Dorje Shugden juga menasihati agar kita melakukan sadhana kita (praktik harian), pelafalan mantra, retret dan tindakan baik sebanyak mungkin. Selain itu, kita juga harus berdoa pada guru utama dalam praktik Dharma dan doa kita agar kita berhasil dan bisa mendapatkan ajaran khusus dan segera mendapatkan pencapaian.

Menjelang akhir, Dorje Shugden berbicara mengenai bagaimana perayaan Losar bertepatan dengan ‘Festival Keajaiban’. Festival ini diadakan untuk memperingati kejadian penting dalam hidup Buddha Shakyamuni ketika beliau memperlihatkan kekuatan gaib untuk menakhlukan enam guru yang menantangnya. Festival ini adalah salah satu dari empat perayaan utama umat Buddhis yang berkisar pada hidup dan tindakan sang Buddha. Tiga perayaan lainnya adalah (1) Saga Dawa, atau dikenal sebagai Wesak, untuk mengenang kelahiran, pencerahan dan parinirvana sang Buddha; (2) Chokhor Duchen, hari dimana sang Buddha Memutar Roda Dharma untuk pertama kalinya; dan (3) Lhabab Duchen, untuk merayakan turunnya sang Buddha dari Surga ke 33 setelah mengajar Dharma kepada ibundanya yang telah terlahir kembali di sana dan juga pada dewa-dewa lainnya. Efek positif dari tindakan baik yang dilakukan pada hari-hari penting ini konon berlipat ganda sampai 10 juta kali lipat.

Dalam komunitas Tibet, festival-festival suci ini dirayakan dengan mempersembahkan banyak lampu mentega di kuil-kuil, tempat-tempat sakral, dan lainnya. Di atas altar banyak persembahan berlimpah, dibarengi dengan pelafalan doa, kitab suci dan puja. Dorje Shugden menekankan pentingnya memberikan persembahan pada kesempatan-kesempatan seperti ini guna mengingatkan kita untuk mengumpulkan pahala, khususnya ketika hidup kita baik-baik saja dan bukan hanya ketika hidup kita sulit dan kita membutuhkan bantuannya.

Pesan Losar Pelindung Agung Dorje Shugden
Tahun 2022

(Ditransmisikan melalui Yang Mulia Penubuat Panglung ke 7 pada tanggal 3 Maret 2022)

Ada banyak cara yang berbeda-beda untuk menghitung tahun baru berdasarkan tradisi individu. Hari ini adalah Tahun Baru Tibet. Untuk merayakan permulaan tahun yang bermanfaat dan penuh keberuntungan ini, banyak orang yang berkumpul untuk berdoa dan memberikan persembahan kepada Tiga Permata dan menolong mereka yang miskin dan membutuhkan sebaik kemampuan mereka. Karena usaha yang kita lakukan, kita menerima manfaat yang sesuai.

Setiap orang saling mengharapkan tashi delek* dan saya juga ingin mengharapkan setiap orang tashi delek. Yang diinginkan setiap orang adalah kebahagiaan, sukacita, ketenaran dan kesuksesan. Kita tidak boleh hanya mengharapkan kebahagiaan pada orang yang kita suka dan mereka yang dekat dengan kita, seperti orang tua dan saudara kita. Kita juga harus memikirkan kebaikan dan kasih sayang, dan mengharapkan semua makhluk bahagia dan bebas dari penderitaan. Hal ini akan membantumu mengumpulkan pahala dalam jumlah besar.

Kita telah mengalami kelahiran yang tak terhingga banyaknya di masa lalu, tetapi sulit untuk mendapatkan kehidupan manusia dan dapat mendengarkan Dharma seperti yang kita lakukan sekarang. Sangat sulit untuk bertemu dengan Dharma – ajaran suci sang Buddha pada umumnya, dan ajaran suci sang Raja Dharma Manjunatha Lama Tsongkhapa khususnya. Biasanya, ajaran sang Buddha sulit ditemukan, dan lebih sulit lagi mendapatkan ajaran Buddha Shakyamuni dalam bentuk sutra dan tantra.

Buddha kedua Manjunatha Lama Tsongkhapa, melakukan pekerjaan sempurna dalam menganalisa dan menyusun kembali ajaran-ajaran suci, sehingga lebih mudah bagi kita untuk berlatih. Bila kita mendengarkan dan menerapkan [ajaran ini] sebaik-baiknya, kita akan segera dapat terlahir kembali di alam yang lebih tinggi berulang kali dan mendapatkan tubuh manusia yang berharga pada kehidupan-kehidupan selanjutnya. Bila tidak, kita hanya akan menikmati hal-hal duniawi. Walaupun hal ini tidak bisa dihindari untuk orang awam, kita harus menerapkan Dharma suci sebaik-baiknya.

Seperti peribahasa yang mengatakan, “Mereka yang ingin menghindari penderitaan, malah tergesa menuju penderitaan. Dengan keinginan untuk mendapatkan kebahagiaan, karena delusi, mereka menghancurkan kebahagiaan mereka sendiri seperti seorang musuh.” Yang anda harapkan adalah kebahagiaan, tetapi anda menciptakan sebab untuk menderita. Sebab-sebab tidak baik hanya akan membawa penderitaan, bukannya kebahagiaan. Karenanya, terapkanlah praktik kebajikan sebaik-baiknya dan tinggalkan tindakan negatif. Semua rasa sakit dan penderitaan di kehidupan ini berasal dari sikap mementingkan diri sendiri.

Anda harus menyesali tindakan negatif yang dikumpulkan pada kehidupan terdahulu yang tak terhingga banyaknya dengan menggunakan Empat Kekuatan Lawan. Bila anda menyesali dengan baik, tindakan negatif yang kecil akan dimurnikan seluruhnya. Tindakan negatif yang lebih besar akan menjadi lemah, karenanya anda tidak perlu terlalu banyak menderita. Lafalkan doa dan lakukan tindakan kebajikan sebanyak mungkin seperti yang anda ketahui. Cobalah lakukan sebanyak mungkin. Hal yang pertama dan utama adalah berdoa pada para guru, guru utama yang anda andalkan. Dengan cara ini, anda akan dapat menerima berkat guru anda dan mendapatkan ajaran khusus.

Lakukanlah yang terbaik untuk menerapkan kebajikan. Menurut kalender tradisional Tibet, bulan ini adalah Bulan Keajaiban (Chotrul Dawa) sejak hari pertama tahun baru. [Pada bulan ini] kita merayakan saat khusus ketika Buddha Shakyamuni menunjukkan kekuatan ajaib untuk menakhlukan para thirthika. [Untuk merayakan bulan ini], Festival Doa Besar yang dilembagakan oleh Raja Dharma, Manjunatha Lama Tsongkhapa di Lhasa, dimana puluhan ribu biksu dari tiga biara besar berkumpul untuk melafalkan doa. “Para Guru yang Mulia berlatih dengan cara ini; pencari kebebasan juga harus mengikutinya.” [Terjemahan alternatif: “Tindakan dari para guru agung adalah praktik yang harus diikuti oleh generasi selanjutnya.”] Kita harus bersukacita atas laku masa lalu. Hari ini, walaupun kita tidak berkesempatan untuk bertemu dan melihat [mereka] secara pribadi, seperti yang saya sebutkan sebelumnya, kita harus berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk mempraktikkan kebajikan, seperti bersujud dan memberikan persembahan. Maka Dharma akan berkembang. Karena sekarang adalah masa festival suci, pahala yang dikumpulkan akan lebih banyak.

Ingatlah [nasihat] di atas baik-baik. Setiap orang harus menjaga hati yang baik dan berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk menumbuhkan cinta, kasih, bodhicitta dan pandangan yang benar.

Catatan: Pelindung Agung [Dorje Shugden] diundang untuk merasuk pada pagi hari tanggal 3 Maret 2022. Beliau diminta untuk memberikan ajaran yang kemudian diterjemahkan dalam bahasa China, Inggris dan Indonesia.

*Sambutan tradisional dalam bahasa Tibet untuk mengharapkan berkat, Kesehatan yang baik dan keberuntungan pada orang lain.

    DATUK YIP KUM FOOK AND SIMON LOW KOK MENG are scammers because they defrauded IC people in Malaysia, and many people have been victims before. They are scammed everywhere, and they are also gangsters in the Kepong area. Now, many people have found and checked their families, and people are spreading it on the internet.

    One of them is Ng Hong Seong, the victim. He suffered because he gave his National Identity Card to Datuk Yip Kum Fook to find a job. Many police officers and some gangsters contacted him about finances to borrow money from various banks. Datuk Yip Kum Fook used the police to harass people.

    Now, many people know about this group (Yip Kum Fook & Simon Low) because they were expelled by Buddhist monks from the Buddhist Temple in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, and burned down the Hindu Temple in Taman Daya, Kepong.

    We hope everyone can share this message fully to stop this evil in this world. They need to know that people are very sad and scared.

    From Ng, Kepong

    Wow….amazing Bao’en Temple an ancient temple in the remote hill located in Pingwu County, in north-western Sichuan Province, China . It’s a well-preserved fifteenth-century Buddhist temple which has such a unique shockproof against earthquake. Not only one earthquake but three with researcher credit to the building’s design and using Phoebe nanmu wood used for its construction. All the architecture reflects the architecture of imperial Palace. A well-preserved 15th-century Buddhist temple considered a national treasure, an architectural gem and a preserved cultural site. Dedicated to the Emperor Yingzong in the Ming Dynasty featuring an exquisite architectural elements and treasures of 1,004-armed Avalokiteshvara statue and a revolving prayer wheel. That’s awesome, looking at those pictures in the post.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting post.

    Inspiring teachings from Pabongka Rinpoche. Taking refuge in Tibetan Buddhism is the foundation of all Buddhist practice, marking the entrance to the path by committing to the Three Jewels . It is a profound and active process of seeking protection from suffering by consciously adopting a Buddhist direction in life. The act of going for refuge marks the point where we decides to take the Dharma as the primary guide to the conduct in one’s life. Taking refuge is a form of aspiration, leading us a life with the Triple Gem at its core.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

    From ancient times to the colonial era courtesans are deeply rooted in the historical fabric of India. Their culture refers to the historical role of high-class, educated female entertainers in societies. These women held significant cultural and social influence, acting as patrons of the arts. They are known for exceptional skills in classical music, dance and poetry. It was during the British colonial rule and the rise of modern social values , these cultures seems to decline. Many women nowadays began to receive equal recognition, appreciation, and stature been noticed. And yet there is still in some place women were seconded in some societies. When it comes to mind training and the development of compassion and wisdom, gender does not matter. In Buddhism, there’s no discrimination toward women, both men and women are equal. It has proven that many women have gained full enlightenment in a female body.

    Mount Wutai is a sacred Buddhist mountain. The cultural landscape is home to forty-one monasteries. Its central area is surrounded by a cluster of flat-topped peaks or mesas roughly corresponding to the cardinal directions. Significance of Mount Wutai is one of the Four Sacred Mountains in Chinese Buddhism. Each of the mountains is viewed as the bodhimaṇḍa of one of the four great bodhisattvas. Wu Tai San is the home of the Bodhisattva of wisdom Manjushri. Beautiful architectural temples have been built since from the 1st century AD to the early 20th century. The temples are inseparable from their mountain landscape. Those monasteries of Mount Wutai remain an important repository of Buddhist culture. Every year it has attract thousands of pilgrims from across a wide part of Asia. Mount Wutai is an exceptional testimony to the cultural tradition of religious mountains that are developed with monasteries. The temples demonstrate a long history of construction and reconstruction. Wutai Shan is worth visiting for its rich Buddhist culture, historical temples, and stunning natural scenery. Visitors can experience a spiritual atmosphere, see numerous temples. I am fortunate joining Kechara group visiting these Holy places at Wu tai Shan years back, witnessing the beauty of the mountain landscape, even though that time some areas still be under construction and can be crowded. Beyond its cultural sites, the mountain offers impressive natural scenery with lush greenery, mountain streams, and panoramic views.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing as it reminds me of my pilgrimage trip.

    The right attitude when receiving offerings is one of gratitude, humility, and joy, recognizing the act as an expression of the giver’s generosity and a means to fulfil their spiritual path. It is important to accept gifts graciously, as refusing them can be impolite or seen as rejecting someone’s kindness. Appreciate the giver’s generosity and understand that the offering represents a sacrifice of their own resources. Rejoice in the giver’s generosity: Be happy for the giver’s spiritual practice of making the offering, which helps them to reduce their own attachments to material possessions. In Buddhism, receiving offerings requires an attitude of rejoicing in the giver’s generosity, understanding the offering as a practice for the donor, and a commitment to use it to benefit others. Recipients should have a compassionate and selfless motivation, viewing the act as a mutual opportunity for generosity and a way to help the giver reduce their attachments. Well using the offering wisely to further spiritual practice and the benefit of all sentient beings. We encouraged to make offerings to the Three Jewels but even more so, we are encouraged to make offerings to our gurus, considered the most precious of all. A precise teachings from this post.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Khong Jean Ai.

    Offering butter lamps is a Buddhist practice symbolizing wisdom dispelling ignorance. Many benefits when we offer butter lamps such as accumulating merit, purifying negativity, achieving spiritual clarity, and receiving blessings for wealth and well-being. The act is a powerful act of devotion, helps guide the deceased, and is used to focus one’s mind for meditation. When we practices with correct motivation it lead us to greater wisdom, clarity of mind, and the ability to discern virtue from non-virtue. The ultimate goal is to use this practice as a step toward enlightenment and liberation from suffering. The flame of the lamp symbolizes wisdom, and lighting it represents the removal of the darkness of ignorance and confusion. Awesome …offering butter lamps is seen as a way to generate good karma and merit for oneself and others. As this light offerings brings happiness, liberation from suffering, enlightenment, and the ability to help others as well.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing. with the detailed explanation of why we do butter lamps. A profound teachings.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    8 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer

Inspired by Kin Hoe's (Ipoh) and Sam's (Kuantan) updates, here... introducing our No. 1 members, Mr. Teo and Aunt Betty. They are always early for preparation, cleaning, and arranging. Bottom pic is Hue & Mr. Loh. They are sharing and exchanging views on ritual practices that support spiritual practices before puja. KPSG by Jacinta.

Tormas are regularly being changed. It's solely the commitments from one of our dedicated members, Choong Soon Heng. Without him, we would not have gathered an abundance of merits. Thanks! Kechara Penang Study Group by Jacinta.
