《文殊菩萨法轮上的智慧加持活动》

“放松。放松，让你的心平静下来。放松和不焦虑是一项重要的生活技能。比如说，如果你快迟到了，还因为紧张而手忙脚乱，可能会把不该带的东西装进书包。但如果你能保持放松、冷静，就能专注于当下需要做的事情，并且把它做好。”堪布坐在他的法座上，果然看起来非常放松。

而我坐在一旁，肩膀紧绷，心跳如鼓。我心里想着今天我们会做些什么。

——他会不会让我回答一些我完全不知道的问题？

——他会不会讲一些很复杂的内容，然后别人都听懂了，只有我不懂？

各种念头在脑中飞快地打转。但当他说“放松、平静”时，我的反应是——

呼，太好了，看来今天不会有什么令人焦虑的事。

听到这，我稍微松了一口气，调整坐姿，平静地等待接下来的安排。

“好，我们开始吧。”……

“嗡 囊息南达让行伦足贝 扎西措促幸纳措巴义……”

第一部分是诵经， 八吉祥颂。整个房间里传来统一、和谐的诵咒声，洪亮而深远，充满整个空间。堪布说这第一个祈祷文叫“lucky”因为念诵它的人会得到好运。

在继续诵经一段时间后，我们进入了三个“互动”活动。

第一个活动是点灯。我们排成一列整齐的队伍站在放有蜡烛的桌子前，堪布站在那里，手里拿着一个打火机。

“点灯的时候，跟我一起念‘唵 阿 吽，唵 阿 吽’。”

大家轮流前去点灯，慢慢轮到我。

“这个打火机有点顽固，要多试几次才会成功。你只需要用拇指按下这个按钮，然后按住扳机就可以了。”

“好的。”

我紧紧握住打火机，按照堪布的指示尝试了几次，果然，最后打火机终于点燃了。

啊哈！

我慢慢地点燃蜡烛，每一根都停留足够的时间，确保它点燃的成功率。在点灯的同时，我小声地诵念咒语。很快，我点完了蜡烛，回到座位。

之后又念了一些祈祷文，然后是第二个活动。

第二个活动很简单——向文殊菩萨的像撒红花。

再接着又念了一些经文，进入第三个活动。这个也很简单（唯一不太“简单”的只是点灯时打火机太难用了）。

这次用到一个非常重的金属水杯，名叫“净水瓶”里面插着一根像笔一样的棒子，顶端有孔雀羽毛。棒子的头部朝下，浸在水中。堪布解释说，我们需要左手拿杯子，右手拿棒子，用右手把棒子甩动，使水滴洒在花朵、写着祈祷文的纸张、供品以及文殊菩萨的像上。

在我们走出去做烟供之前，堪布特别指出了一段重要且有趣的祈祷文，除了最开始那段以外。这一段叫做《文殊智慧心咒》。

它看起来就像普通的祈祷文，但在重复一定次数后，最后会念成：

“嗡 阿 RA巴杂 那 地 地 地 地 地 地 地 地……”

你需要在一口气里念尽可能多的“地”（dhih）。

据堪布和尊者所说，如果每天早上刷牙后口腔干净时念诵，会帮助培养正念（但动机比仪式的时间更重要）。

最后一个活动是烟供。我们到草地上，一个小火堆已经架好。最开始只是放了纸板和些柴火。一旦火堆燃烧得够旺，我们开始放入供品。这些供品像是一碗“沙拉”——碗里是沙子，上面加了彩色的线、小石子、坚果等。

我注意到，当我们把供品放入火堆后，升起的烟变得更加清澈透明，缓缓升向天空，似乎多了某种灵性的质感。

最后，我想分享今天体会到的两点：

第一，在整个活动中，我感受到一种平静和归属感，因为在场的每一个人都怀有同样的信仰和目标，而且堪布告诉我们要放松——我当然非常愿意遵从。

第二，活动结束后，当我坐进车里准备离开，一种神秘又奇妙的感觉突然袭来。

早上我们刚到时，外面还在下大雨，厚厚的灰云覆盖了整个天空，看不到任何阳光。然而，在活动进行过程中，那层厚厚的云开始慢慢散开。当我们进行烟供到一半时，阳光终于洒落下来，照亮了大地，也照亮了每一滴雨水，清晰分明，美得让人惊叹。

The Wisdom Blessing Activity of Manjushri on the Dharma Wheel

-article written by Harry Yang

“Relax. Relax and calm your mind. Relaxing and not stressing is a vital life skill. For example, if you were about to be late for school and you started stressing and rushing, you might pack the wrong things into your bag. However, if you just relax and stay calm, you can have a steady mindset and be focused on what you need to do, and how to do it correctly.” Khenpo sat at his Dharma Throne; and sure enough, he seemed very relaxed. 

I sat at the side, my shoulders tense and my heart banging on my chest. I was wondering what we would be doing today.

Is he going to ask me to answer questions that I definitely don’t know the answer to?

Is he going to explain something very complex, and everyone understands it, but I don’t?

A million thoughts whirled around in my mind; but when he said to relax and to stay calm, my reaction was this-

Phew. That means nothing stressful coming up.

At this, I ‘relaxed’ my body and sat normally, waiting for whatever would happen next.

“Okay. Now, let’s begin.” …

“Om, nagsi namdak rangzhin Ihündrupé, tashi chok chü zhingna zhukpa yi…”.

The first section was chanting prayers. A united, mellifluous sound emanated from all corners of the room, filling the space with a rich and deep tone as everyone chanted the prayer. Khenpo said the name of the first prayer is ‘Lucky’ because it brings luck to whoever chants it.

After a bit more of chanting, we moved onto 3 ‘interactive’ activities. 

The first one was lighting the candles. In a very orderly fashion, we all lined up in a neat queue behind the table holding the candles, where Khenpo stood, a lighter in his hand. 

“Okay… so, as you light the candles, chant ‘om a hung, om a hung,’ with me.” Slowly, we moved over, and after person after person had had their turns, it was mine.

“The lighter is very stubborn and will take a few tries get working. All you need to do is push this button with your thumb and then hold down the trigger.”

“Okay.”

Gripping the lighter tightly in my hands, I did exactly as Khenpo instructed; it took a few tries, but eventually, the lighter finally gave in. 

Aha!

Slowly, I set fire to the candles, making sure to stay long enough on each one so as to maximise its chance of lighting. Whilst doing so, I chanted quietly. Before long, this was done and I sat down at my seat again.

A few more prayers followed after this, leading into the next thing.

The second activity was simple- all I needed to do was (gently) throw some red flowers at the Manjushri’s body. 

Again, some prayers followed before the third activity- again, it was pretty simple (the only reason why the first one was not ‘simple’ was because the lighter was very hard to make work).

There was an extremely heavy metal/steel cup by the name of the Ritual Water Vessel that had a pen-like stick with peacock feathers protruding from it. Its head was pointed inwards, where it was submerged in some water. Khenpo explained that we needed to hold the cup in our left hand and use our right hand to hold the pen-like stick. With our right hand, we would flick the head of the stick to throw droplets of water at the flowers, the sheets of paper with prayers on them, the grapes, and the Manjushri’s body. 

Before we left to perform a Smoke Offering outside, there was one particular prayer (apart from the first one) that Khenpo said was very important and interesting. It was called The Heart Mantra of Wisdom. It was like a normal prayer, but at the end of a certain number of repetitions, it would go like this-

“Ong  a ra ba za na di di di di di di di di di di ……” and you would say as many  ‘dhih’ s as you could in one big breath. According to Khenpo and  Rinpoche, if you chant this every morning after brushing your teeth, when your mouth is ‘clean’, it will cultivate mindfulness (but motivation matters more than ritual timing). 

The last activity I will note is the Smoke Offering. We did this outside on the grass, where a small fire was set up . At the start, we put only cardboard and some firewood inside. However, once Khenpo decided the fire was big enough, we started putting in some offerings. These offerings were like a sand salad- a lot of sand sat in a bowl, and as toppings, some colourful string, tiny pebbles, nuts, and other things similar to those were added. I noticed that after we put the offerings in, the smoke seemed to become clearer and more had some element of lucidness and translucence as it slowly rose to the sky.

Ultimately, I will now note 2 extra things I picked up along the day. Firstly, during the whole thing, I felt a sense of peace and belonging because everyone there was there for the same purpose and all had the same beliefs (religiously speaking), and Khenpo had told us to relax, which I more than happily obeyed. 

Secondly, when I sat in the car after everything had ended and we had left, a thought came out of the blue and struck me hard with a sense of mystery and wonder.

In the morning, when everyone had just arrived, it was raining pretty hard, and a thick layer of grey clouds blanketed the sky, concealing any sign of the sun. However, as we went on with our activities, this thick congregation of clouds started to slowly dissipate and by the time we were halfway through the Smoke Offering, the scintillant sun shed its rays upon the lush land beneath, showing every drop of rainwater with tremendous clarity.
