与善知识对话 (2) - 生与死

有一日，弟子很感慨的问上师：

弟子问： 一个人应如何在无疾病折磨痛苦下往生（死亡）？

上师答：修大圆满法（密乘）！

弟子好奇，继续问上师：

弟子问：为什么上师推荐此法？

上师答：我的根本上师（大成就者）罗珠仁波切在无病无痛下宣佈一个星期后即将会离去（圆寂）。

弟子问：不可思议哦？

上师答：但是这一个星期里尊者每日继续讲经及传授丛弟子大圆满法门，呼吁丛弟子有任何疑问迅问！

弟子问：尊者是不是普通人？

上师答：上师是大菩萨！

弟子问：弟子虽皈依佛教多年，修行也不精进。皈依上师才几年，可以学修大圆满法吗？

上师答：从修四加行开始，慢慢来。

弟子问：万一弟子没修好四加行就归天（死亡）？

上师答：不会下三恶(饿?)道啦，弟子放心！

哈哈，师徒同时大笑!

Dialogue with my Spiritual Friend (2): Living & Dying

One day the student felt the flimsy of life & death thus asked the Master:

Student: How could a person passed away (dying) without pain & sufferings?

Master: Practice Great Perfection method (Dzogchen, Vajrayana)?

Student: Why did Master recommend this practice?

Master: My Root Lama, Lodoe Gyatso while (physically) healthy announced His passing away after a week.

Student: Inconceivable?

Master: But within the one week, My Root Lama, Lodoe Gyatso taught Dharma & transmit the Great Perfection teachings everyday, urging us to ask questions.

Student: Your Master (Root Lama) was not common human being?

Master: Master is a great Bodhisattva!

Student: Though I had taken refuge to the Three Jewels many years, but have not practice much in mental cultivation. Moreover,  taking refuge with Master only a few years, can I learn to practice Great Perfection?

Master: You start by doing the Four Practices! Do it gradually.

Student: What if I died before I could complete the Four Practices (10 thousands each practice)?

Master: Won’t go to the Three Lower Realms, don’t worry!
