在本寺舉行的禪修閉關和神通與氣功的研討班

這是在二月三日至五日在金剛寶座寺及閉關中心舉行的非常短的閉關中分發午餐,熱氣在從食物升起。參加者們參加了本寺的早課和晚課,以英文、中文和藏文唸誦。用餐是以正式的禪食形式進行的。

講中文的人聞了第三世多杰羌佛開示的幾課法音,其中包括關於神通與了生脫死的關係和為什麼練氣功不同於佛教的修持的一課,本寺主持扎西卓瑪宣德為不講中文的人們朗讀了這些法音的初步翻譯。通過翻譯員,這兩組來到一起討論和辯論他們學到的東西,按照著佛陀給的怎樣聞受法音的指導。這課法音是特別及時的,因為所有參加者也參加了本寺最近舉行的觀音大悲加持法會而這課法音講到在這類加持中發生的情況。他們中的幾位寫下了他們在法會的經歷。

還有時間作幾次禪修和復習聞法時作的筆記來準備參加雄辯。

這些參加者們大部份來自中國的上海,但還有來自中國其它地方、斯里蘭卡、紐約和帕薩地那的。有些包租了一輛巴士提供從洛杉磯地區的來回交通。他們在星期五下午到達本寺時立即去參觀聖金剛柱,他們沒有失望,在他們開始誦第三世多杰羌佛聖號時,五棵金剛柱都劇烈振動了,這是一場極好的閉關的非常吉祥的開端。
