【不离】法王如意宝:假“活佛”对佛教危害很大

索达吉堪布 国际佛学网 2023-03-02

 

我不是“活佛”

I Am Not a Tulku

 


如今许多世间人经常喜欢拜活佛,

Many worldly people today like to pay respect to tulkus.

 

此举虽然有功德,但希望大家在依止之前,最好先多方面详细观察,

While this activity has its merit, I hope that before you follow a tulku, you will carefully assess this tulku from several aspects.

 

不要轻信一些过分的宣传。

Do not readily believe whatever talk you have heard.

 

众人说我是活佛列绕朗巴的化身,
People say that I am the reincarnation of Tulku Lerab Lingpa.

 

但我不要说白天,就连晚上做梦也从没想过自己是这位大成就者。

But I have never—not in the light of day or even in dreams—thought myself that I am this accomplished master.

 

像我一般低劣的人还有很多,甚至有人比我更可怜。

There are plenty of people who are as inferior as I am, some even more pathetic.

 

其实,得了“活佛”的虚名之后,对自身有什么样的意义?

In reality, what purpose is there for one to receive an undeserved title of Tulku?

 

希望有些人仔细想一想。

I hope some of you will reflect on this carefully.

 

以前有很多大德,虽被人们尊称为“活佛”,但他们并没有因此而沾沾自喜,

In the past, many masters were honored as tulkus, but they did not then become pleased with themselves.

 

只是默默守护着自己的功德。

They just quietly protected their virtue and merit.

 

还有些大德不愿得到“活佛”称号,但这并不妨碍他们弘法利生事业的如日中天。

Other masters did not wish for the title of Tulku, but their teaching to benefit beings flourished unimpededly.



可现在有些人,自以为是“活佛”,成天活在别人的赞誉声中洋洋自得,

There are people today, however, who believe themselves to be “tulkus” and smugly bask in others’ praise.

 

甚至还整天喝酒吸烟,经常对女人生贪心,

They go as far as drinking and smoking all day, craving women frequently,

 

所得的钱财也用来享欲……

and satisfying their greed with the funds they obtain.

 

目睹浊世的这种恶劣形象,真是让人心生悲悯。

To witness this abominable image of worldly defilement truly inspires pity.

 

有些品行低劣的人,为了获取别人的恭敬供养,大言不惭自诩为“活佛”,

Some immoral characters shamelessly boast of being tulkus in order to win respect and obtain offerings.

 

对别人也讲:“活佛是最尊贵的!活佛的地位在藏传佛教中最高!”

They say to others, “Tulkus are the most noble! A tulku’s status in Tibetan Buddhism is the highest!”

 

结果不少人竟也信以为真,认为只要是“活佛”,哪怕他没有任何功德都可以去依止。

Many people end up being taken in by these claims and believe that they can follow anyone who is a “tulku,” even if this so-called tulku has not the slightest virtue.

 

而对于没有“活佛”称号的人,不管他有多么殊胜的功德、广博的学识,

But when these people meet a teacher without a tulku title—no matter how sublime the teacher’s virtue or how vast the teacher’s knowledge,

 

甚至善知识的法相全部具足,他们也不会有点滴恭敬心。

and even if all the Dharma characteristics of a spiritual guide are present —they cannot feel a drop of respect for this teacher.

 

这种现象在汉地比较普遍,而且,如今这个问题比较复杂,

This phenomenon is rather common in the Han regions and has now become a complex issue.

 

有些假活佛给藏传佛教的确带来了深远的危害。

Some fake tulkus have indeed inflicted deep and lasting harm on Tibetan Buddhism.
