Lost in Translation (2) – Names of Tibetan Ethnics

翻译名字之迷离？- 翻译藏名

随喜！自上师贡德仁波切之大圆满书从藏文翻译为英语，于2011年出版，最近终于在网上找到贡德仁波切根本上师 (root Lama), Tokden Lama Lodoe Gyatso之正译!

“格龙呼图克图·大成就者阿江多丹·洛珠将措”（no. 94, 堪布晋美彭措如意宝法王之前），贡德仁波切及堪布更尕扎西仁波切另一位主要上师Khenpo Chuchap译名“苦修者堪布曲恰”(之前读到堪布更尕扎西仁波切分享的另一个法名 ‘堪钦曲永葜达仁波切’照片属同一人。

“承继佐钦法脉的高僧”一文 (2012-11-14 13:45:42)

Finally I had found a translation text on the names of Great Khenpos (Ph.D) & Dzoghen Great Masters of Dzogchen Lineage Practitioners, the text listed 100 names which were based on documentary records. It was translated by practitioner(s) who command both Tibetan & Chinese languages.  It is indeed joyful to find the translated names of H.E. Kunde Rinpoche’s root Lama, Tokden Lama Lodoe Gyatso (p. 68, A Garland of Flowers by Kunde Rinpoche), also his main mentor in Dzogchen practice while he was studying & practicing at Dzogchen Shriseng Monastery, and another Great Khenpo, Khenpo Chuchap, till Rinpoche la completed the Sutras & Tantras transmission, including required solidtary retreat (3 years,3  months & 3 days) & required teaching years at the renowned monastery.

Reflection : traning & education are very important aspects for any Buddhist practitioner to spread the Dharma effectively, including conducting spiritual rituals, prayers & mind training. The Vajrayana School of Buddhism placed the same importance of the Teacher (Guru) as the Three Jewels, logically, without Teacher(s), the knowledge transmission process is hindered!

Tashi Delek 吉祥如意！
