不丹大成就者 索南桑波仁波切 (約1888 - 1984圓寂)

宗薩仁波切及噶拉多杰仁波切的外祖父即是 索南桑波仁波切(Sonam Zangpo Rinpoche)!
索南桑波仁波切是竹巴噶舉大成就者 夏迦師利的傳承最主要持有人之一, 一生在不丹山上閉關專修那洛六法!

==========  以下摘錄自"大圓滿傳承源流--藍寶石" ============

  智慧證悟雙全的大自在大師喇嘛蘇南桑波，是所有大得道者的寶頂密勒日巴的心弟子，智慧虹身者惹瓊多傑扎巴的特意轉世，生於古爾堆茹林的一個富戶人家，母親叫索南。

  他從小時候起就有厭煩出離的思想，後入隆珠孜宗寺為僧，徹底學習祥瑞法主竹巴派的法行。在苯塘塔巴林寺，他用很長時間做加行。

  由於前生的因緣，他來到多康大得道者 夏迦師利處，用十二年多的時間，從加行開始，聞得了大班智達 那洛巴的《那洛六法》、法主藏巴的《平等部正法的因緣部正法》、塔巴的《大手印》、竹巴噶舉派的教誨《三聚集樹》等傳承和訣竅。

  密勒日巴曾說：「為修正法而艱苦奮鬥，就會有無限的福澤。」

  正是這樣，經過艱苦地修行，他最後得到了證悟，氣脈的效益使臍輪火的暖熱能安樂享用，通過密宗母續的道路，得到了成就，由於他日夜以（身、語、法）三門服侍上師，成為上師最好的心弟子。

  尤其是在部主竹旺仁波切（圖滇•夏迦師利）在尼泊爾維修大寶塔時，他誠心實意地擔負起工程工作，為完成上師的心願做了大量的工作。

  另外，他還在大伏藏師 敦珠林巴•吉扎依喜多傑、噶陀錫度曲吉嘉措、噶瑪巴•卡洽多傑、公子帕喬仁波切等賢哲善知識處，得到自性大圓滿法《智慧上師》的實踐法、《吉宗精義》、遍知的《七寶藏》等、實現大手印中所說的「無修」和證悟大圓滿法自顯無私的深意。

  以後又在大聖地扎日山、隱避地戡巴郡、珠達倉等西藏和不丹的大聖地和修行地豎起了修行的寶幢。

  後半生他是在四座瑜伽中度過的。他經常在聖地僻靜地居住，在世俗莊戶家一夜都不住，全心全意地修精義，得到上師和很多特殊本尊的智慧攝持。

  他在為很多有緣弟子授《那洛六法》和大圓滿法教誨的同時，作為佛教和眾生的福田，建造無數個所依和能依佛殿。

  其中主要有：在西藏大聖地扎日山建造的佛殿，主要所依是金剛亥母本尊，周圍有噶舉金珠的圍繞，還有三層樓高的蓮花生大士像等，在隱避地戡巴郡建造的銅色吉祥山佛殿，主要所依是銅質鍍金的蓮花生大士等；在古爾堆建造的蓮花生大士和觀世音菩薩像及其佛殿，像有兩層樓高。

  在大聖地普寧拉山下建造的摩尼寶鋪金灘佛殿；在扎西崗宗建造的壁畫殿；在扎西崗雲普拉建造的與拉薩大昭寺釋迦牟尼佛像等量的釋迦牟尼像所依和安樂灘佛殿；在東桑建造的古裡嘎扎佛殿等。還與東桑雲來寺的喇嘛一起，聯合維修了該寺，並把依怙敦珠仁波切請至該寺，舉行大的修法，轉動貝瑪林巴伏藏正法的法輪。

  此外還有在旺宗建造的浪保色修行寺。

  他後半生又建造了多仁灘班覺林佛殿及寶塔，並常住寺廟；在多曲拉建造大寶塔；在隆措湖建造修行寺佛殿和扎西崗修行寺；在廷布的紅土曾卡巖上刻製造型別緻的蓮花生大士巨幅像；在廷布裝臟了《八大法行》、《上師深意聚》、《普巴金剛》三種本尊的大寶塔，擔負各種事情的重任；在帕覺丁修行寺和達果修行寺建造噶舉金珠，塑造大得道者夏迦師利具加持力，造型非常奇異的像。

  他還用金汁畫了噶舉派的瑪哈嘎拉護法像一套；在巴昭達倉建造猛蓮花生大士等像；修補浪巴千的舍利塔；大吉嶺卡爾香僻靜處製作一尊蓮花生大士像；卡林邦銅色吉祥山寺處製作蓮師財神像；尼泊爾揚列雪聖地製作蓮花生大士像等無數身、語、意所依新做和修補工作，並賜予加持開光，用天珠、珊瑚、精緻綢緞、用具、幡、傘、寶幢等進行裝飾，還致獻了常明燈基金和各種供品等講、修、事業三種，是名副其實的蘇南桑波，自在了氣、心，得到了金剛壽攝生術，長壽至九十歲。作為被調伏者的因緣，他現居不丹。（註：目前已圓寂）

  又有大得道者夏迦師利的女兒、伏藏師達先的後裔東日•仁津曲嘉祖古、大伏藏師南卡吉美兄弟等，在阿宗竹巴的弟子曲久林巴處，聞得了大圓滿法全部密精義部，並用這位伏藏師的《格薩爾如意摩尼寶廣泛修法》即《密宗三部密明點》等，開展了佛教和眾生的事業。

LAMA SONAM ZANGPO AND HIS TULKU

Lama Sonam Zangpo (roughly 1888 - 1984) was a renowned practitioner of the Six Yogas of Naropa and perhaps the most famous yogi in Bhutan this century. His reincarnation, the now 17-year-old Tulku Drugyul Tenzin was discovered by His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche while the boy was attending puja at His Holiness's monastery at Boudhanath in Nepal. When I met him for the first time at Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's house in Bir, his dignified bearing and humility, as well as his enthusiasm for learning the Dharma immediately impressed me. He was at the time, and continues to be, a diligent student who, it appears, will do very well in his studies at Dzongsar Institute.

One story of the tulku's discovery is quite marvellous. It was related to me that His Holiness was walking around the stupa at Boudhanath and came across the boy on his way to school. His Holiness said, "Where are you going, so and so (calling him by the name of his previous incarnation)?" and said, "You should be in your monastery. Let's go there right away." According to the story, the boy's family was initially reticent to let the boy go at such an early age. They were told it could create obstacles for himself and his family if he didn't take up his position and attendant responsibilities immediately. But it wasn't until he became very sick that the family agreed to let him go.

When I asked the young tulku how he was discovered, he told me he knew nothing of the story I had related. According to him, he was attending a puja at His Holiness's monastery with his father, who was sick at the time. His Holiness kept looking at the boy and later asked his uncle to come and see him. At that time he revealed that his nephew was the tulku of Lama Sonam Zangpo.

The eight-year-old boy was enthroned at Tongsa near Thimpu in Bhutan, after which he resumed his normal studies in Nepal for two years. He was then ordained as a monk and went to His Holiness Drukchen's monastery in Darjeeling to begin his monastic training. For four years his training included learning Buddhist sutras by heart, conducting ritual pujas and Tibetan reading and writing. He also received tantric empowerments and explanations from his teachers and many great lamas during this time.

Tulku Drugyul Tenzin is currently doing his first year of nine years of study at Dzongsar Institute and says, "After learning the sutras, I will return to Bhutan to practice yogas and tantras in order to become as I was in my previous life." His enthusiasm for doing so augurs well for the realisation of his goals. A remarkable young man indeed!

蘇南桑波喇嘛（1888 -1984），是一位以那若六法聞名的修行者，在這個世紀(20世紀)也是不丹最有名的瑜伽士。他的轉世，現在17歲的祖古Drugyul Tenzin，轉世靈童是由最尊貴的 頂果欽哲仁波切在尼泊爾boudhanath的寺院法會時所發現。當我第一次遇見他時，是在宗薩親哲仁波切位於比爾的房子，他的莊嚴和謙遜的態度，以及他學習佛法的熱情，立即給我很好的印象。他是在那個時候，並繼續成為一個勤奮的學生，看來他在宗薩佛學院的修學將會很好。

祖古Drugyul Tenzin轉世的故事是很不可思議的描述。 頂果欽哲仁波切在Boudhanath繞佛塔時碰巧遇到他去上學的路上。頂果欽哲仁波切對他說: "你要去哪裡，.....（並呼叫他的前世名字） " 並且說， "你應該在你的寺院，讓我們馬上去那" 。有個故事是這樣的，靈童的家人起初保持謹慎態度，不想讓男孩去這麼小就離開。即便他們被告知，如果不立即讓他承續他的法座和管理 責任，可能會造成靈童及家人有障礙。但一直到靈童病得很重，他的家人同意讓他去。

當我問年輕祖古他是如何被發現後，他告訴我，他知道的很少。據他對我說，他是在他生病的時候與他的父親在在頂果親哲仁波切的寺院參加一個法會。 頂果親哲仁波切一直注視這孩童，後來要他的叔叔來見他。當時 頂果親哲仁波切透露說，他的侄子是蘇南桑波喇嘛的轉世靈童。

8 歲的靈童在不丹靠近Thimpu的Tongsa陞座(坐床)，之後的兩年在尼泊爾繼續他的正常學習。然後，他受戒成為比丘，並前往頂果親哲仁波切在大吉嶺 Drukchen的寺院，開始他對寺院的培訓。四年來他的訓練，包括學習佛經心要，修法儀軌和藏文閱讀和寫作能力。在這段時間，他從他的老師和許多 偉大的喇嘛處得到了密法灌頂及教授。

目前正在宗薩佛學院為期九年學習的第一年。他說， "學習經典後，我將回到不丹，以修練瑜伽和密續以期成為我的前世一般" 。他的熱情的做了一個預言，為實現他的目標。實在是個不平凡的年輕人。
