About the speaker:

Filmmaker? Photographer? Football fan? In a world where labels matter, finding just one that captures the essence of Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche might, on the face of it, seem an impossible task. But actually, it couldn’t be simpler. First and foremost, Khyentse Rinpoche is and always will be a Buddhist teacher, and all his other activities are merely creative responses to this central aspiration.

Rinpoche is the author of several books about Buddhism that have been translated into many languages; for example: ‘What Makes You Not a Buddhist’ (2006), ‘Not For Happiness’ (2012) and ‘The Guru Drinks Bourbon?’ (2016). He is also well-known outside the buddhist world for the feature films he both wrote and directed, ‘The Cup’ (1999), ‘Travellers and Magicians’ (2004), ‘Vara: A Blessing’ (2012), ‘Hema Hema’ (2016) and ‘Looking for a Lady with Fangs and a Moustache’ (2019).

Buddhadharma is currently being assimilated into a number of different cultures as the Buddha’s teachings continue to spread throughout the world. But as Rinpoche is at pains to point out, while the cultural packaging that comes with Tibetan Buddhism is often optional, the Buddhadharma itself requires no modernization. Shakyamuni was a Buddha and therefore omnipotent, so every word he uttered, every tradition he instigated, every aspect of his legacy, is as appropriate and necessary today as it was during his lifetime. This is the message Rinpoche emphasises continually when he teaches, focusing primarily on the buddhist ‘view’ rather than the ethnic backdrop it is set against, never hesitating to draw attention to the flaws and corruptions that have crept into contemporary spiritual paths, and fearlessly laying bare the challenges faced by teachers and students of the Buddhadharma in the 21st century.

演講嘉賓介紹：

電影人？攝影師？還是足球迷？對一個標籤化的世界來說，找到一個足以反映宗薩蔣揚欽哲仁波切精髓的標籤似乎是個不可能的任務。而實際上，卻再簡單不過了。欽哲仁波切首先且永遠是一位佛教導師，他的所有其他事業都不過是這個中心主旨的創意性展現。

仁波切的多部佛教著作已被翻譯為多種語言：如《近乎佛教徒》或《正見》（2006）、《不是為了快樂》（2012）和《上師也喝酒？》（2016）。仁波切亦因三部自編自導的影片在佛教圈外而知名：《高山上的世界盃》（1999）、《旅行者和魔術師》（2004）、《祈福》《另譯：舞孃禁戀》（2012）、《嘿瑪，嘿瑪》（2016）和《尋找長著獠牙和鬍鬚的她》（2019）。

隨著佛法持續在世界各地的推廣傳播，佛法現今也被若干不同文化同化與吸收。但正如仁波切切中時弊地指出，雖然伴隨藏傳佛教的文化包裝是個選項，佛法本身並不需要現代化。釋迦牟尼是位佛，從而是全知者，因此他說出的每一個字、他啟發的每個傳統、他傳承的每個面向，如同在佛陀的時代一樣，在今天同樣恰當和必要。仁波切在教授中反複強調：應該首要關注於佛法的見地，而不是其所附屬的族群背景、不要遲疑去留心潛入當代靈修之道的缺陷和墮落，以及對二十一世紀佛法師生面臨的挑戰直言不諱。閲讀更多内容。
