Mahakala Empowerments by H.E. Kalu Rinpoche
尊貴的卡盧仁波切給予瑪哈嘎拉灌頂

 

The special Dharma Protector for the Shangpa Kagyu tradition is the Swift-Acting Six-Armed Awareness Protector. Commonly known as ‘Chakdrukpa’ (The One with Six Arms), he is a wrathful manifestation of the Great Compassionate One, Chenrezig.
香巴噶舉傳承之不共護法——行迅六臂明覺怙主,在藏文中被稱為“恰竹巴”(六臂尊者),是大悲觀世音的忿怒化現。

The transmissions for the Six-Armed Mahakala came from the Mahāsiddhas Maitrīpa, Rāhula, and Shawaripa to Khyungpo Naljor, the source of the Shangpa Kagyu lineage.
六臂瑪哈嘎拉教法傳承源自大成就者梅紀巴、羅侯羅、夏瓦日巴並傳給香巴噶舉祖師瓊波南覺。

The great accomplished master, Tāranātha, a Shangpa Kagyu lineage holder, refined various texts and practices and taught that the essence of this practice is to combine the Protector with the Yidam and the Guru Yoga practice.
香巴傳承持有者多羅那他尊者將不同版本的法本進行修繕,並開示道:此修法的精髓在於將護法與本尊、上師瑜伽的修持融為一體。

There are many forms of the Six-Armed Mahakala. They all emanate from the main blue/black form, which is known as ‘Barché Kunsel’ (Dispeller of All Obstacles).
六臂瑪哈嘎拉有很多不同的化現,而所有化身的主尊為黑六臂瑪哈嘎拉,其修法被稱作“遍除障礙”。

One of the well-known emanations of Chakdrukpa is White Mahakala, known as ‘Gönkar Yishin Norbu’ (White Protector Wishfulfilling Jewel). This deity embodies the pacifying and increasing activity of all Buddhas. Realising the perfect fulfilment of this practice means achieving the perfect Buddhahood.
白瑪哈嘎拉是六臂瑪哈嘎拉最廣為人知的化身,在藏文中被稱作“貢嘎意心諾布”(白護主如意寶),為諸佛息增事業的化現,成就此法即能成佛。

On a mundane level, the White Mahakala practice increases one’s life force and longevity, multiplies merit and wisdom, and enhances prosperity, especially in relation to creating conducive circumstances for practising the Dharma.
在世間法上,白瑪哈嘎拉修法能夠延壽、增命力、增福、添財、長智慧,尤其有助於增加修行的順緣。

We are especially fortunate to receive these empowerments from Rinpoche, as they are rarely given. Rinpoche explains that Chakdrukpa is a pure emanation of Chenrezig and the Protector for this life, the next, and the Bardo (after-death state).
這兩個灌頂非常稀有,能夠從仁波切處獲得實屬難得。仁波切曾開示:六臂瑪哈嘎拉為觀世音菩薩的真實化現,是我們此生、來世與中陰時的救護。
