Resting in Illusion: A Rare Transmission of Longchenpa's Gyuma Ngalso
Longchen Rabjam (1308–1363) is one of the most widely respected masters in Tibetan Buddhist history — honoured across all schools, especially in the Nyingma tradition. His writings distil the essence of thousands of texts, offering not philosophical speculation but illuminating guidance rooted in direct experience.
龍欽饒絳巴尊者 (1308–1363) 是藏传佛教历史上最受尊崇的大师之一——在各大宗派中都备受敬仰,尤其是在宁玛派中。他的著作提炼了成千上万经典的精髓,所呈现的并非哲学性的思辨,而是根植于直接体验的明晰指导。
Among his most celebrated works is the Trilogy of Rest (Ngalso Korsum), three texts each emphasising a distinct dimension of the path:
- Semsnyid Ngalso — "Resting in the Nature of Mind" — centred on the View
- Samten Ngalso — "Resting in Meditation" — centred on Meditation
- Gyuma Ngalso — "Resting in Illusion" — centred on Conduct and Action
在他最著名的著作中,有《大圓滿虛幻休息論》(Ngalso Korsum),由三部经典构成,每一部都强调修行道路的不同层面:
- Semsnyid Ngalso —《心性安住》(側重於正見)
- Samten Ngalso —《禪定安住》(側重於正見)
- Gyuma Ngalso —《幻化安住》(側重於行為與實踐)
This free course focuses on Gyuma Ngalso, perhaps the most accessible of the three. Through eight luminous similes of illusion, it condenses the core essence shared by both Sutra and Tantra into a direct, experiential path — teaching that phenomena are like dreams, reflections, and magical displays, and that seeing this clearly is itself the path to freedom. More about this text here.
本免費課程將重點講解《幻化安住》(Gyuma Ngalso),這是三部中最為易於入門的一部。通過八種光明的幻化譬喻,它將顯密共通的核心精髓凝練為一條直接、可親證的修行之道—教導我們,一切現象如夢、如影、如幻,而如實看清這一點,本身即是通往解脫之道。
This insight is shared across traditions, making this course equally relevant to students of Mahayana and Zen, not only those in the Vajrayana. Practitioners of any background are warmly welcome.
這一洞見在不同傳統中皆有共鳴,因此本課程不僅適合金剛乘修行者,同樣也與大乘與禪宗密切相關。歡迎任何背景的修行者參與。
This rare 3-month course is guided by Khentrul Gyurme Dorje Rinpoche, who upholds the tradition of His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. During his lifetime, His Holiness personally authorised his close disciples to transmit Dzogchen directly — and Rinpoche holds this authorisation.
本次為期三個月的珍貴課程,由Khentrul Gyurme Dorje 仁波切指導。他傳承自法王晉美彭措仁波切。法王在世時,曾親自授權其親近弟子直接傳授大圓滿法門—而仁波切正持有此殊勝傳承授權。
