噶奇美多傑仁波切是瑪瑟家族在瑪南的第三代，2019 年由怙主直貢澈贊法王委任主持這個閉關園區。 他說，他原本從來沒有想過自己會成為一個工作的人，也沒有特別打算去做什麼計畫。

GarTul Chimi Dorjee Rinpoche, the third generation of the Mase family in Manang, was appointed in 2019 by His Holiness the Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche to lead this retreat campus. He says he never intended to become a worker or someone who ran projects.

但一次短暫回到瑪南，事情開始改變。

Then a short visit to Manang changed something.

他感受到那裡的環境。感受到愛。也感受到土地本身的加持。

He could feel the environment. He could feel the love. He could feel the blessing of the land itself.

他形容這是一種很純粹的連結。

He describes it as a pure connection.

噶千仁波切的一句話

A sentence from Garchen Rinpoche

仁波切也談到自己與噶千仁波切相處的經驗。曾經有一段時間，他在 GBI 待了約兩個月，也在那裡閉關。

Rinpoche also recalls a period when he stayed at GBI for about two months and undertook retreat there.

後來噶千仁波切建議他去做一點瑪南的工作，也告訴他，任何時候想回來，都可以再回來。

Later, Garchen Rinpoche suggested that he go and do some work for Manang, while reminding him that he could return whenever he wished.

仁波切知道自己很習慣待在自己的世界裡。而噶千仁波切也知道。

Rinpoche knew he tended to remain in his own zone. Garchen Rinpoche knew it too.

所以那份鼓勵不只是「去完成一件外在工作」。仁波切用一句很有力量的話描述：

So the encouragement was not simply to complete an external task. Rinpoche describes the message with a striking phrase:

Stretch your limbs. Stretch your heart.
伸展你的手腳。也伸展你的心。

Stretch your limbs. Stretch your heart.

工作本身也是修行

Work itself becomes practice

這讓瑪南的意義出現另一個層次。如果只從外面看，它是一個建築與園區計畫。

This gives Manang another dimension. From the outside, it is a building and retreat-center project.

但對仁波切而言，工作也在要求自己面對那些平常沒有真正坐下來處理的部分。

For Rinpoche, the work also asks him to encounter parts of himself he had not necessarily sat down and worked with in practical detail.

憤怒、嫉妒、不喜歡，以及各種細微的反應，仍然會出現。所以在對別人談修行以前，自己也必須反省。

Anger, jealousy, dislike, and subtle reactions still arise. Before speaking to others, he also needs to reflect.

仁波切說，這件事同時利益兩邊：自己，也利益學生。

Rinpoche says the work can therefore benefit both: himself and the student.

瑪南因此不是「先成為一個完整的人，再來建立一個修行中心」。而是在建立它的過程裡，也一起修行。

Manang is not being built by first becoming complete and then creating a practice center. The building process itself is also part of practice.
