★ ★Garchen Rinpoche had an audience with H.H. Dalai Lama yesterday (October 6) in Daramsala, India. At the request of Rinpoche, Dalai Lama bestowed Boddhichitta Vow to 6000 disciples.

-------------------

1993年，噶千仁波切初次出藏地來到北印度達蘭沙拉，首次晉見達賴喇嘛尊者，相隔24年後，此次，2017年為第二次晉見。噶千仁波切恭敬無比地向法王獻上身口意曼達，法王勉勵仁波切佛法廣傳，並贈予一尊世尊佛像。

　

仁波切接著供養〈佛子行三十七頌〉小冊及畫冊，以及有白度母心咒的見解脫手環，仁波切說，「供養見解脫手環，祈願法王長壽，因為度母救了我八次」，法王聽後即囑咐工作人員將一尊莊嚴無比的白度母佛像贈予仁波切。

　

仁波切對法王的崇敬之心、孺慕之情難以言喻，仁波切祈請法王尊者賜予「菩提心戒」，法王表示即將為大眾傳授「白度母灌頂」，將於灌頂時公開賜予「菩提心戒」，隨即帶領仁波切進入會場，請仁波切上座。時值法王正應台灣信眾祈請，在達蘭薩拉大乘經院教授〈入中論〉與〈緣起贊〉。6日是法會最後一天，法王傳授白度母灌頂後，說「噶千仁波切請菩提心戒」，全場信眾跪接法王傳戒，法王解說戒律後，賜予全場數千信眾菩提心戒。

　

在1993年，仁波切首次晉見法王時即請求傳授菩提心戒，法王隨即應允傳授，這是善妙的緣起。此次，噶千仁波切的再次祈請傳授菩提心戒，恩澤所有與會信眾，殊勝而不可思議。

　

特別是仁波切剛圓滿台灣弘法行程不久，而達賴喇嘛尊者對台灣信眾講授並傳授白度母灌頂，兩位成就者再次會面，機緣巧合，吉祥圓滿。

In 1993, H.E. Garchen Rinpoche travelled for the first time from Tibet to India and had an audience with H.H. the Dalai Lama. Yesterday, was the second time they met after 24 years. First, Garchen Rinpoche offered, with highest respect, his body, speech, and mind as a mandala to His Holiness, who encouraged Rinpoche to spread the teachings of the Buddha. Then, His Holiness offered Rinpoche a Shakyamuni Buddha statue.

Rinpoche offered a small booklet of the "Thirty-Seven Practices of a Boddhisattva" with illustrations and a liberation-by-sight bracelet with the White Tara mantra to His Holiness. Rinpoche said, "I offer this liberation-by-sight bracelet to you with prayers for your long life. Tara saved my own life eight times." When His Holiness heard this, he offered a beautiful statue of White Tara to Rinpoche.

Rinpoche's expression of devotion to His Holiness the Dalai Lama was heart-stirring. His Holiness said that he would bestow the Bodhisattva Vows during the White Tara empowerment, later that same morning. Then, His Holiness led Rinpoche to enter the assembly hall and asked him to sit on a throne. From October 3 to 6, His Holiness taught an "Introduction to the Middle Way" and the "Praise of Dependent Arising" at the request of a Taiwanese group of devotees. On the final day of the teachings, after the White Tara empowerment, His Holiness bestowed the Bodhisattva Vows and announced to the assembly that these vows were being given at the request of Garchen Rinpoche. After His Holiness explained the nature of the vows, these were bestowed to the disciples.

In 1993, when Rinpoche had his first audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, he requested that he bestow the Bodhisattva Vows, which His Holiness graciously agreed. Once again, Rinpoche requested the Bodhisattva Vows from His Holiness, and again, he graciously bestowed them, to thousands of disciples. It was a very special and auspicious day.

What makes this even more special is that Rinpoche had just completed his teaching program in Taiwan when he came to India, and it happened that right at that time, His Holiness was giving teachings to a group of Taiwanese disciples in Dharamsala. May all be auspicious.

願利一切有情
