瑪瑟·噶瑪竹舉丹增仁波切(1941–2020),村民口中的 Papa 仁波切,
與噶奇美多傑仁波切,瑪瑟家族第三代、瑪南閉關園區主持人。
Mase Karma Drubgyud Tenzin Rinpoche (1941–2020), “Papa Rinpoche” to the villagers,
with GarTul Chimi Dorjee Rinpoche, the third generation of the family and the one leading
the Manang retreat campus.
仁波切形容 Papa 仁波切時,用的不是宏大的語言。他說:
Rinpoche does not use grand language when describing Papa Rinpoche. He says:
「非常簡單的一個人。」
“A very simple human being.”
Papa 仁波切是一位 Tulku。但在仁波切的描述裡,這個身分對他本人似乎並沒有那麼重要。
Papa Rinpoche was a Tulku. Yet in Rinpoche's account, that identity did not seem
especially important to him.
他沒有把生活建立在頭銜上。
His life was not built around a title.
他有很多孩子,是一位父親;同時也幫助家中的祖父,那位瑜伽士、Grandpa Rinpoche。
He was a father of many children, and he also helped his grandfather, the yogi,
Grandpa Rinpoche.
仁波切說,他沒有太多抱怨。只是幫忙。只是生活。而且帶著一種很完整的滿足。
There was little complaint. He helped. He lived simply. And Rinpoche remembers a sense
of satisfaction and joy.
