The Longchen Nyingthig (for reference only)

The Longchen Nyingthig branch of Buddhism started in the 18th century by a great master known as Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa in Southern Tibet. Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa taught his disciples how to train their mind and how to live in simplicity. He himself did not have a big place or big monastery, but a simple livelihood and simple monastery. One of his most important teachings was that people should live in simplicity. Also at the heart of his teachings was the importance of cultivating compassion. According to Buddhism every being – even the tiniest insect – desires happiness. So Jigme Lingpa very strongly advised people to save the lives of animals. He was totally against killing animals and hurting any person, not just human beings, but even animals and insects. This is the main center of his teachings.

Then the Longchen Nyingthig branch of his teachings became very popular among Tibetan Buddhists. Many lamas of other Buddhist traditions who, although they may not have been known as Longchen Nyingthig followers, nevertheless have been practicing Longchen Nyingthig. Many of them, as you might have heard, when they died, their bodies dissolved, with only their hair and nails left behind. They attained these accomplishments because of the power of the meditation that Jigme Linpa taught.

So the Longchen Nyingthig teachings are very powerful to practice. The benefits of these teachings are not just limited to Jigme Lingpa's particular time in history, the 18th century. The teachings also benefit, perhaps most of all, the people of today. The reason is that his teachings are easy to follow and helpful to make us better human beings – friendly and honest. And when that happens, we will be able to help others and our whole society to live in peace and joy.

龙钦宁提 （内容仅供参考）


龙钦宁提是18世纪由晋美林巴大师开取出的意伏藏大圆满法门。所谓“龙钦”乃广大无尽的法界之含义也，而“宁提”意为心髓。它凝集了早期心髓法门的精华，将心髓教法推向了最高峰。因此，龙钦宁提传承成为宁玛派中最普遍受到欢迎的一个支派，至今兴盛不衰。

在晋美林巴的弟子中，依据法界空行母的授记，被封为法主的持教心子就是多智钦仁波切。正是由于历世多智钦仁波切不断地弘法，才有了如今龙钦宁提广大的传承。

龙钦宁提不隶属于宁玛巴六大寺系，而是独立的心髓传承，其根本道场正是闻名遐迩的多智钦寺。多智钦寺的建寺地址由晋美林巴亲自授记，具有与桑耶寺等同的加持力。以多智钦寺为母寺，心髓传承现有37个分寺遍布康藏各地。

现状

如今，在两位多智钦仁波切的带领下，多智钦寺正在重建和复兴，焕发出新的生命力。

佛教龙钦宁提法门于十八世纪由大阿奢黎仁增晋美林巴(持明无畏洲尊者)在西藏南部开宗。仁增晋美林巴教导他的弟子们如何修心并行持简单的生活。他自己没有庞大的住所或宏大的寺宇，而是在一座简朴的寺院中过著简单的生活。他最重要的教言之一就是人应该过简单的生活。培育悲心的重要性也是他教言的中心。佛教认为任何众生，乃至最微小的昆虫，都希求安乐。因此晋美林巴非常强烈地建议人们放生动物。他彻底反对杀生与伤害任何人--不仅仅包括人，乃至还包括动物和昆虫。此即是他的教言的主要核心。

之后他(晋美林巴)所传下的龙钦宁提成为在西藏佛弟子中极受欢迎的法门。佛教其它传承的许多上师，虽然他们并不以龙钦宁提的追随者而闻名，但却在修持龙钦宁提法门。也许你们也有所耳闻，他们中有许多人在命终时肉身消融，只剩下头发与指(趾)甲。他们之所以证得这些成就，是因为禅修晋美林巴所传法门之力。

因此龙钦宁提法门是非常具力的修法。这些修法的利益并不仅仅局限于晋美林巴所在的特定历史年代--十八世纪；这些法门也许更多地利益了如今的人们。其原因在于他所传之法易于修习，会帮助我们成为友好、诚信从而更贤善的人。这些都达成时，我们就会有能力帮助他人以及整个社会实现寂静和喜悦。
