仁波切自己怎麼說
In Rinpoche's own words
底下這個架構是他給的,不是我們設計的: 「是什麼、為什麼、以及怎麼做。這個架構非常好。」
The framework below is his, not ours: “What, why, and how. That structure is very good.”
「我開始做夢。開始投入。不是把一個計劃帶去那裡, 是真的想把自己的生命投進那片土地。這不只是一棟建築,更是一個社群。」 “I started to dream. And I started to invest — not bringing some project there. I truly wanted to invest my life there. It is not just about a building. It is about a community.”
「我不是一個善於執行的人。但在瑪南這個地方,尤其是那裡的人, 他們把心都掏出來了。這才是真正讓我留下來的原因。」 “I'm not a doer, not a worker. But in Manang, especially the people — they offer their heart. That is what keeps me there.” UC Berkeley,2026 年 4 月 22 日 UC Berkeley, 22 April 2026
村民以極低的價格讓出土地。他說,那才是真正的連結所在。
The villagers sold the land at a very low price. That, he says, is where the real connection lies.
他對密勒日巴的解釋,是這個計劃最好的一座橋
His reading of Milarepa is this project's best bridge
「很多人看到密勒日巴的修行方式,會以為那是在折磨自己,其實不是這樣的。 這些教法真正的核心,是在處理壓力。極端的天候讓壓力無所遁形, 你沒辦法裝作沒事,沒辦法轉移注意力。你只能坐在那裡,面對它。 在那樣的環境裡,如果你逃開,你活不下去。」 “People think Milarepa was torturing himself. But if you really look at the essential point — it is all about de-stress. Extreme weather gives you a level of stress you have no chance to ignore. You need to face it, you need to be with it. In this extreme weather, if you ignore your stress, you won't survive.” UC Berkeley,2026 年 4 月 22 日 UC Berkeley, 22 April 2026
這句話不需要對方相信任何事就能懂。 它把密勒日巴從「極端苦行者」 翻譯成「處理壓力的方法」,而且是他自己的理解,不是行銷包裝。 對國際受眾、對非佛教徒、對媒體,這是最好的第一句。
This asks the listener to believe nothing. It translates Milarepa from “extreme ascetic” into “a way of working with stress” — and it is his own reading, not a marketing gloss. For international audiences, for non-Buddhists, for press, this is the best opening line we have.
而那個地方是真的:密勒日巴的洞至今仍在,可以去看他留下的印記。 2024 年法王親自帶眾人朝聖,並遠眺獵人留在洞口的弓。
And the place is real: Milarepa's cave is still there, and you can see the mark he left. In 2024 His Holiness led the pilgrimage there and looked out at the bow the hunter left at the mouth of the cave.
「如果你真的追溯那個家族五、六百年的歷史……他們從不刻意宣揚 『我是什麼、我是誰』,也不向人邀功求敬。他們的威望,是憑藉自身的存在、 純粹的行持與修行,自然贏得的。」 “If you trace that family back five or six hundred years… they never announced what they are or who they are, and never asked to be honoured. Their standing was earned simply by their presence, by pure conduct and practice.”
「有時候,靈性的地位會製造出很大的距離和隔閡, 但在這裡,幾乎沒有任何距離。人們感覺非常親近。」 “Spiritual status can create enormous distance. Here there is almost none. People feel very close.” 2026 年 7 月 28 日 · Manang vision 上課錄音 28 July 2026 · Manang vision teaching recording
所以「不以頭銜開場」不是行銷策略,是這個家族五、六百年的做法。 所有文案與設計都以此為準 —— 這一條若違反,違反的是傳承本身,不是一份風格指南。
So “never lead with titles” is not a marketing position — it is how this family has worked for five or six centuries. Every piece of copy and design follows from it. Break this rule and you are not breaking a style guide; you are breaking the lineage's own practice.
這個計劃是什麼
What this project is
尼泊爾瑪南谷,海拔 3,397 公尺。一個瑜伽士家族在這裡守了六十年, 現在第三代要把它蓋成一座真正能閉關的地方 —— 二十一間石屋、一間 Grand Café、 水利系統。設計已經完成,估價單已經做出來,現在募的是動土的第一筆錢。
Manang valley, Nepal, 3,397 metres. A yogi family has kept this place for sixty years. The third generation is now building it into a place where people can actually do retreat — twenty-one stone cottages, one Grand Café, a water system. The design is finished and the bill of quantities is done. What we are raising now is the first money to break ground.
