Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche’s speech


On this most auspicious occasion, I would like to share two true stories about my wonderful Buddha Master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III that I have never told before:

Some time ago my Buddha Master, asked me to practice the Modesty and Patience Dharma taught by Shakyamuni Buddha. The Buddha Master taught me how to respect persons lower than myself and told me to prostrate to those who were lower than me in their cultivation. To tell you the truth this bothered me. How could I possibly prostrate to them? The Buddha Master told me that in His past lives Shakyamuni Buddha prostrated to everyone. Shakyamuni Buddha practiced in this way to cut off self-attachment and practice forbearance.

One night at Hua Zang Si, a rinpoche attempted the Hidden Mani Stone Selection Dharma. After finding the first stone, he tried for a long time and was never able to locate the second stone that we had hidden. However, I was able at that time to see them. Because he found one of the mani stones, the temple arranged for me to prostrate to him at the end of the Dharma Assembly. To tell you the truth, my first reaction was resentment—I was almost even angry. Based on my own practice, how could I prostrate to this person who had not been able to successfully complete the test, when I could have easily done so? When this thought just appeared, I saw my Buddha Master teaching me forbearance again and I was very ashamed. However, several days passed, but I was still bothered by this, so I went to see my Buddha Master and asked: “How can I prostrate to a person who doesn’t have my vajra power in front of so many people?” My Buddha Master asked me, “Did you forget the true story I told you about Shakyamuni Buddha? Putting yourself as low as possible is the true way to true cultivation.” At the same time I saw that my Buddha Master had the deepest insights in all of esoteric and exoteric Buddhism and had complete mastery of all five of the vidyas. Even at that time my Buddha Master’s identity as a Buddha had not yet been announced to the public, but we already knew that He was a great Dharma King. How could I not listen to His teachings?

I thought for some time, just which great Bodhisattva is my Buddha Master? Then I had a shocking experience that I have not shared publicly. I actually saw my Dharma King Master drastically change His appearance in a very short period of time. Even though my Buddha Master had predicted that He would on such and such a day take on the negative karma of others and would not be available to meet the public, I was not prepared for what I saw. He appeared on the predicted day looking very ugly and old—His face was bloodied as if He had just been severely beaten. His eyes were swollen and half closed! There were many people standing around, but they seemed to be accepting of this condition. I had been thinking that, because of His accomplishments in both exoteric Buddhism and esoteric Buddhism and the Five Vidyas, my Master must be a Buddha, but how could this be true when He looks so old and decrepit? I could barely stand looking at my beloved Dharma King Master when He was like this. Remember, at that time we did not know that our Dharma King Master was a Buddha. In less than an hour, I looked again, and my Buddha Master had changed to a beautiful young man. I was shocked. Oh, my God. How could this be? My Master is a Buddha! What I was thinking is true! He is not just a Bodhisattva, but a Buddha. I looked around, but no one else was shocked or showing any reaction at all to what had just happened. I looked again at my Master and He just smiled. He put His finger to His mouth and quietly said “shhh” and I realized that no one else had seen this transformation, but I knew this fact about the Buddha. I was not to tell anyone. I had seen my Buddha Master totally transform His appearance before everyone knew about this ability. Now because of the fact that the Buddha Master’s ability to change His appearance from old to young is known internationally, I can tell you all what I experienced, and you will be able to see photos similar to what I saw. Amitabha!



扎西卓瑪仁波且講話（翻譯自英文）


在這個非常吉祥的場合，我要與大家分享我以前從未講過的關於我的偉大的佛陀師父第三世多杰羌佛的兩個真實的故事：


一段時間以前，我的佛陀師父讓我修釋迦牟尼佛傳的謙虛忍辱法。佛陀師父教了我怎樣尊敬比我自己低的人，並告訴我要向那些修行比我低的人頂禮。說實話，這使我感到煩擾。我怎麼能對他們頂禮呢？佛陀師父對我說，釋迦牟尼佛在祂的過去世，曾對每一個人頂禮。釋迦牟尼佛以這修法來斷除我執和修忍辱。

一天晚上在華藏寺，一位仁波且試圖修伏藏瑪尼石擇決法。在找到第一塊瑪尼石後，他試了很長時間還一直未能找到我們伏藏的第二塊瑪尼石。但我當時就能看到這兩塊瑪尼石。由於他找到了一塊瑪尼石，寺廟安排我在法會結束時向他頂禮。說實話，我的第一反應是怨恨——我幾乎發怒了。 根據我自己的修行，我怎麼能向這位未能通過那個我當時很容易就做到的考試的人頂禮呢？當這種想法出現時，我再次看到了我的佛陀師父在教我忍辱，我感到非常羞愧。但是，幾天後我仍然為此感到煩擾，於是我前往拜見我的佛陀師父並問道，“我怎麼可以在這麼多人面前向一個還不具有我有的金剛力的人頂禮呢？”我的佛陀師父問我，“你忘了我對你講的釋迦牟尼佛的真實故事嗎？把你自己放得盡可能低，是真修行的真正方法。”當時，我看到我的佛陀師父對密宗和顯宗都是最圓通的，並完全精通所有的五明。我的佛陀師父是一位大法王。當時祂的佛陀身份尚未被公開宣佈，但是我們已經知道祂是一位大法王。我怎麼能不聽祂的教導呢？


我花了一些時間思考，我的佛陀師父究竟是哪一位大菩薩呢？然後我有了一個我還未曾與人公開分享的驚人經歷。我確實看見了我的法王師父，在非常短的時間內，大大地改變了祂的相貌。雖然佛陀師父預示了祂將在某某日承擔他人的黑業而不能與公眾見面，我還是對我所看到的沒有心理準備。在所預示的那一天，祂顯得非常難看和蒼老——祂滿面是血，好像被毒打了一樣。祂的眼睛腫得半閉了！當時有許多人站在旁邊，但他們好像自然地接受這個情況。我一直在想，根據顯密和五明成就，我的師父應該是佛陀，但在祂看上去那麼蒼老和衰弱時，那又怎麼可能是真的呢？我幾乎無法忍受看到我敬愛的當時的法王師父像這個樣子。請記住，我們當時不知道我們的法王師父是佛陀。過了不到一個小時，我又看了一眼，我的佛陀師父變成了一位英俊的年輕人。我吃驚了。天呀，這是怎麼一回事？我的師父是佛陀！我想的是對的！祂不是菩薩，是佛陀！我看了周圍，但沒有人吃驚或對發生的這一切有任何反應。我又看了我的師父一眼，而祂微笑了。祂將手指放在嘴唇上悄悄地說“噓…”，於是我明白了別人沒有看到這個變化，而我知道了關於佛陀的這個事實。當時我不能告訴任何人。我早在任何人知道佛陀師父返老回春之前，就提前看到了我的佛陀師父能完全改變祂的相貌。現在由於佛陀師父返老回春的事已在國際上公開了，我可以對大家講我的這個經歷，你們從照片上也可以看到類似我見到的情況。阿彌陀佛！
