由於達賴尊者於歷史上與敏卓林傳承宿世之因緣，

故而敏卓林佛學院於印度肇建時，尊者親臨立基。

「如無誓願，如同無人御牛，不知所赴；來願持行，當至所在！」

誠盼善友看到了我們佛學院重建的照片與訊息，

能夠和我們一同期盼這棵希望樹未來的美好願景！

任何的教育皆是「任重道遠、百年樹人」；願您護持此一智慧良田

~~ 興旺佛門龍象與教法，饒益遍有情 !

我很高興聽聞敏卓林佛學院重建計畫即將落實。

尤其於此經濟低迷的困境裡，接下來的法務必然艱鉅繁重；

然而我堅信我的兄弟、堪千仁波切必能為了利益佛法而令一切趣向吉祥。

在此，謹致我最衷心的祝福與祈願 !

《俱舍論大疏》說：在有漏的善法中，修經堂的功德最大。為僧眾修經堂，隨力支持隨喜者，將來在此經堂內進行的所有聞思修行的善根，皆同等獲得。( 佛學院 2012.重初時之拆置景況)

《地藏菩薩本願經》亦云：復次地藏，遇先佛塔廟，或至經像，毀壞破落，乃能發心修補。是國王等，或自營辦，或勸他人，乃至百千人等布施結緣。是國王等，百千生中，常為轉輪王身。如是他人同布施者，百千生中，常為小國王身。更能於塔廟前，發迴向心，如是國王，乃及諸人，盡成佛道。以此果報，無量無邊。 (佛學院重建之近況~ 是不是很令人期盼與欣喜呢 ?）

~ 願臻吉祥 !

.........【大寒之後，春分之前 】:

1988年的4月，達賴尊者為敏卓林佛學院於印度的肇建而親臨；2012年的五月，由於時空天候之浸摧，呈現劣牆朽樑受浸闕漏與建物安全結構之虞，加以學僧居處不足，我們展開了敏卓林佛學院的重建工程。

我們稱此重建計畫爲「希望樹」。

因為：

「樹」的意象，象徵著四季如世代的循環。

此外，樹木的開枝散葉以及綠蔭，更是前人留予後人最珍貴的禮物；

而佛學院，便是佛法傳承上的希望樹！

親愛的朋友，

您是否願意和我們一起照顧這棵樹呢？

它需要您時時澆水、施肥和關愛；有形的資糧施援，無形的祝福繫念。

有一天

當您仰望天空時，

這棵種在心裡的希望之樹，

已因您的愛而拉拔成長....

它結出智慧和福德的果實，聳入天際 !

歡迎您成為愛樹的人。

..................

在我們通往智慧與解脫輪迴的漫長旅程中，我們需要僧寶所給予的啟發與支持，及植福的機會，因此，讓我們誠摯期盼：由於護持這些尊貴的未來人天師，願僧寶們因而得以維持、弘揚佛陀正法不輟！而我們直至解脫輪迴前，亦皆能獲明師導引！

菩提心為至妙寶 若未生起願生起

已生慎勿令退失 願此菩提轉增勝 !

Rejoice in your interest and merits in supporting the Sangha. With your generosity more Sangha will be offered.

On our long journey towards wisdom, we need the support and the inspiration of the Sangha and therefore, by supporting the venerable monks, we hope that their will be persevere in their task of preserving and propagating the teachings.

May all be auspicious!

May the precious supreme Bodhicitta,

Grow where it has not yet grown,

Never diminish where it has grown,

And flourish forever more.

【關於雅久寧瑪佛學院】

由尊貴的敏林堪千仁波切所執掌之「前譯派高級佛學院•經續善說州 」 (雅久寧瑪佛學院 )，於一九八八年經達賴喇嘛破土後於印度重新建校，時因財力維艱，經費拮窘，權以少數鐵條、簡便技術之便宜建材建立，以提供僧眾精進、辦道之處所。

由於時空天候之浸摧，加以建商使用劣下之建材，故而結構與室內狀況呈現劣牆朽樑受浸闕漏、水泥粉化如塵紛下.....莊嚴寺院外表，卻暗為頹頃危樓.....故而自2005年起，敏林堪千仁波切已逐年對佛學院最需儘快改善之處籌募資糧重新整建。

勉為其用多年，由於學僧之居處已不足，又深感居處對學問修證與衛生健康之影響，加以建物安全結構之虞，幾番思慮及會議後，敏林堪千仁波切毅然獨自肩負此重建之重擔；自2012年五月起，已展開「敏卓林佛學院重建」之計畫。

過去數年由十方善信所發心護持敏卓林圖書館與學舍興建計畫之資糧，正為此次佛學院重建( 仍涵括圖書館與學舍之建設) 之基金。然而重建之規模與所需已比先前宏大，故而仍需十方大德支持。

眾所周知，諸佛如來三身、歷代傳承上師都具有無量無邊福德和智慧，修建供養上師三寶之寺院、佛殿、經堂確為延壽消災、滅罪度亡、往生淨土之廣大資糧。曾有公案云一頭渾身是泥的豬在一佛塔上蹭泥，恰巧補合了一處裂縫，其死後便轉生到天界中。《廣戒經》中亦明載：「所謂實福者，由大果、大利、大威嚴、廣大義，若善男子、善女人，是行、是坐、是臥，其善根恆時增長。何人建造經堂，乃為七種實福之首……」

《俱舍論大疏》說：在有漏的善法中，修經堂的功德最大。為僧眾修經堂，隨力支持隨喜者，將來在此經堂內進行的所有聞思修行的善根，皆同等獲得。

《妙法蓮華經》云：若人發心起塔、建寺、造像，如是諸人等，如見無數佛，自成無上道，廣度無數眾。《俱舍論釋》說：若為出家人建造經堂，可獲得梵天福德，於四十中劫享受無比安樂。《地藏菩薩本願經》亦云：復次地藏，遇先佛塔廟，或至經像，毀壞破落，乃能發心修補。是國王等，或自營辦，或勸他人，乃至百千人等布施結緣。是國王等，百千生中，常為轉輪王身。如是他人同布施者，百千生中，常為小國王身。更能於塔廟前，發迴向心，如是國王，乃及諸人，盡成佛道。以此果報，無量無邊。

所謂「路遙碧天唯冷結，沙河遮日力疲殫，後賢如未諳斯旨，往往將經容易看」，敏卓林佛學院是寧瑪派僧眾與行者修學佛法的重要學府，教育更是「任重道遠、百年樹人」，遑論一如佛陀教法之深遂長遠，饒益有情。

謹盼十方大德宿植德本，共同護持佛學院僧眾之安居與學習，並能將此訊息傳達給您四周的朋友，令具緣者共植此福田，饒益有情！謝謝您 !

.....................

高僧求法詩中嘗生動地描述西行取經：

「去人成百歸無十，後者安知前者難。後賢如未諳斯旨，往往將經容易看。」

各位善友 : 胡適嘗言,「我借出的錢，從來不盼望收回； 原因是，永遠有利息在人間！」無私心意的涓滴匯集，能使他人得以脫離難處 ....能使他人身心得以安住...能使他人光明溫暖... 而我們或許也能在來日相應此身心輕安• 自在美好的微笑\

Dear Friends in the Dharma,

Mindrolling College, known as Ngagyur Nyingma College,

http://www.khenchenrinpoche.org/2-college.htm

was originally built in 1988 with a main shrine and thirty-five (35) rooms to accommodate twenty-five (25) Buddhist monks. Since that time, many more monks have joined the college and new rooms were added. Today there are one hundred fifty-five (155) monks attending the college and there are not enough rooms to house them properly. The difficult environment and atmosphere this creates as the monks concentrate on their studies and dharma practices, is no longer acceptable. In addition, sub-standard materials were used in the original construction and permanent construction is urgently needed at this time.
Construction of the New Ngagyur Nyingma College of Mindrolling began last year. After many years, the former patchwork repairs are no longer a viable solution for the college to house the monk students; therefore, it was decided to demolish and reconstruct the entire college. Due to the increased number of monk students, the expanded plans will accommodate a total of 87 rooms, kitchen, dining area, restrooms, etc. which should take 2-3 years to complete.

Rejoice in your interest and merits in supporting the Sangha. With your generosity more Sangha will be offered.

On our long journey towards wisdom, we need the support and the inspiration of the Sangha and therefore, by supporting the venerable monks, we hope that their will be persevere in their task of preserving and propagating the teachings.

May all be auspicious!

....................

We named this reconstruction plan as “The Hopeful Tree” ,

because “tree” symbolizes the cycle of four seasons.

Moreover, the branches of trees and the flourishing of its green leaves also leave our predecessors with the most precious gift. As for this Buddhist Institute, it actually emblematize “Hopeful Tree” of Dharma inheritance.

My dear friends;

Are you willing to take care of “This Tree” with us?

It needs your constant watering, fertilizing, and caring; with intangible material danas, as well as immaterial blessings.

One day, when you look up at the sky, you might find

Such a “Hopeful Tree” which once planted deeply within your heart

Was blooming because of your love and care

Borne with fruits of wisdom and merits, domineering over the sky

May the precious supreme Bodhicitta,

Grow where it has not yet grown,

Never diminish where it has grown,

And flourish forever more.
