一個平台，不是一棟建築
A platform, not a building
「這個平台、這個計畫、這個實體的建設，作為一種平台，讓人能在其中感受到歷史的豐厚與愛，同時也提供所有修行精髓的入口。」 “This platform, this project, this physical construction, as a platform, lets a person feel the richness of that history and that love, and at the same time offers a door into the essence of practice.”
他把這個地方要對人做的事講成四個階段：
He describes what the place does to a person in four moves:
誰可以來
Who it is for
「如果你在乎，那很好。你就是有資格的人，你就是對的人。 無論你生來是不信仰的人、還是信仰其他宗教的人，都無所謂。 法不做任何區分。」 “If you care, good. You are qualified, you are the right person. Whether you were born without belief or in another religion makes no difference. Dharma does not discriminate.”
怎麼運作
How it runs
- 短期個人閉關，最長十天，不超過，之後再更新續修
- 四季各專注一種修持，第一個是息瓦(Shiwa),「息」就是平息、安靜下來， 對應冬季之後的季節
- 對當地社群「隨時準備好服務，但要主動地精準切入，而不只是把一個據點放在那裡就不管了」
- Short personal retreats, ten days maximum, no longer, then renewed
- One practice per season, beginning with Shiwa, the word means “pacifying”, settling down; it is matched to the season that follows winter
- Toward the local community: “always ready to serve, but deliberately and precisely, not just placing an outpost there and leaving it”
為什麼一定要有金剛亥母殿(Vajrayogini)
Why the Vajrayogini temple is not optional
先解釋幾個詞。金剛亥母(藏文 Dorje Phagmo，梵文 Vajrayogini) 是藏傳佛教的女性本尊，代表智慧；她不是度母，是另一尊。 拙火(tummo)是一套呼吸與專注的修法，修的人靠它在身體裡生起熱， 在高山上這既是修行，也是實際的保暖。那若六法是六套這一類身心修法的合稱， 拙火是第一套，也是其他五套的基礎。
Three words first. Vajrayogini (Tibetan: Dorje Phagmo) is a female figure in Tibetan Buddhism who stands for wisdom. She is not Tārā; they are different figures. Tummo is a practice of breath and concentration through which a practitioner generates heat in the body, in the high mountains that is both a practice and a practical way of staying warm. The Six Yogas of Naropa are six such body-and-mind practices taken together; tummo is the first of them and the ground for the rest.
「我想建立寺院，不是隨隨便便地建，而是要建立真正有益於修持核心的道場。 上師建議：何不建一座金剛亥母殿？這是非常稀有的，同時也是一切修持的根本所在。」 “I wanted to build, not casually, but to build something that genuinely serves the core of practice. My teacher suggested: why not a Vajrayogini temple? It is very rare, and it is the root of all practice.”
他解釋：縱觀所有傳承，拙火是一切修持的核心根基，是進入中脈的入口之門， 而那若六法的整條道路正是以金剛亥母與拙火為核心。
He explains that across all lineages, tummo is the root of practice, the door into the central channel, and that the whole path of the Six Yogas turns on Vajrayogini and tummo.
金剛亥母殿是整個園區修行內涵的核心。 目前它已有概念設計與定案位置，但沒有預算，也不在 US$607,000 之內。
The Vajrayogini temple is the point of the whole campus. It already has a concept design and a fixed position, but no budget, and it sits outside the US$607,000.
畫這些圖的是誰
Who drew these
SMA(Sustainable Mountain Architecture，創辦人 Anne Feenstra，專案主持 Rebika Karki) 是一支非營利的建築團隊，長期在尼泊爾與喜馬拉雅高山、國家公園做案子。 2025 年以永續石造建築獲得法國 Global Materia Award。 2026 年 4 月，SMA 與仁波切在加州大學柏克萊分校共同發表第一期設計。
SMA, Sustainable Mountain Architecture; founder Anne Feenstra, project lead Rebika Karki, is a non-profit practice that has worked for years in Nepal's high mountains and national parks. In 2025 they received the Global Materia Award in France for sustainable stone architecture. In April 2026 SMA and Rinpoche presented the Phase I design together at UC Berkeley.
第一期的設計費已經付清。現在募的是工程款，不是設計費。
The Phase I design fee is paid in full. What is being raised now is construction cost, not design fees.
