越辦規模越大、已成為56國參與的「噶舉大祈願法會」,快要有個專屬的家了!

即將興建的「噶舉大祈願法會」辦公大樓,今天(16日)上午8:00,在菩提迦耶德噶寺旁空地,由法王噶瑪巴主持灑淨儀式,帶領約50位僧眾,以傳統藏密念誦吉祥祈願文方式,為這塊預定地祈福,希望啟建落成後,能利益更多人。今天念誦的祈願文,包括〈護法供儀〉、〈八勝吉祥文〉等。

這塊目前長著一片豔黃色油菜花的預定地,在菩提迦耶的農地上,緊鄰明就仁波切住持的德噶寺,原屬德噶寺,由明就仁波切發心供養法王噶瑪巴,作為「噶舉大祈願法會」辦公室之用,將來祈願法會的工作人員和志工,就可以不必暫借德噶寺辦公,有專屬工作場地。

In the morning at 8:30 am His Holiness consecrated two acres of land, adjacent to Tergar Monastery, which was bought in October 2008 for the new Kagyu Monlam Centre. Half of the land was officered by the Ven. Mingyur Rinpoche. The Centre, designed by Taiwanese engineer, Choekyi Gyatso, will provide accommodation and offices for Kagyu Monlam staff.

Gyalwang Karmapa recited The Twelve Deeds of the Buddha, made a tea offering to Mahakala and the dharma protectors, and concluded the ceremony with the Prayer of the Eight Auspiciousnesses and a prayer for the Buddha’s teachings to flourish.
