他為什麼要在這個山谷蓋東西
Why he is building in this valley
奇美多傑仁波切是瑪瑟家族在瑪南的第三代。他第一次到瑪南是去看祖輩住過的地方, 後來決定留下來。這一頁是他自己說的:為什麼留下、要蓋成什麼樣的地方、誰可以來。
Chimi Dorjee Rinpoche is the third generation of the Mase family in Manang. He first went there to see where his forebears had lived, and then decided to stay. This page is in his own words: why he stayed, what kind of place this is meant to be, and who it is for.
「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
他說的「掏心掏肺」指的是讓地這件事。全村一起,把土地以很低的價格讓了出來,不是一樁便宜的買賣,而是一整個村子共同的心力與共同的期望。他說,連結就在這裡。
What he means by “offering their heart” is the land. The village, together, let the land go at a very low price, not a cheap transaction, but the shared effort and the shared hope of a whole village. That, he says, is where the connection is.
這件事花了七年。2019 到 2026 年,園區的土地是與村民逐戶、 一份一份合約談成的,不是一次買下一整片。
It took seven years. Between 2019 and 2026 the land for the campus was assembled household by household, one contract at a time, never as a single purchase.
他讀密勒日巴,讀出來的是「怎麼跟壓力相處」
He reads Milarepa as a way of working with stress
「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
密勒日巴(約 1040–1123)是西藏最有名的隱修者,一生大多在山洞裡度過。 他在瑪南閉關過,洞穴至今仍在,可以走到。2024 年直貢澈贊法王親自帶眾人上去朝聖, 並遠眺獵人留在洞口的弓。
Milarepa (c. 1040–1123) is Tibet's best-known hermit; he spent most of his life in caves. He sat in retreat in Manang, and the cave is still there, you can walk to it. In 2024 His Holiness the Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche led the pilgrimage up to it and looked out at the bow the hunter left at its mouth.
「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 談話 28 July 2026 · Manang vision discussion
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完整的閉關園區,以「傳承 × 修行 × 永續」為核心, 規劃八項設施。
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 complete retreat campus, eight facilities, planned around lineage, practice, and sustainability.
八項不是同時蓋。其中三項,二十一間閉關石屋、Grand Café、水利與基礎設施,設計已完成、估價單已做出,構成第一期。金剛亥母殿(Vajrayogini)有概念設計與定案位置,教學大殿、 老年閉關區、八塔目前是構想。現在募的是動土的第一筆錢。
They are not built at once. Three of them, the twenty-one stone retreat cottages, the Grand Café, and the water and infrastructure work, have finished designs and a bill of quantities. Those three are Phase I. The Vajrayogini temple has a concept design and a fixed position; the teaching hall, the elders' retreat, and the eight stupas are still at the idea stage. What we are raising now is the first money to break ground.
