KTD發佈於 2020年11月27日 即將到來的 2021是藏曆牛年，2021年2月12日就是藏曆新年第一天。這一年對法王來說是特殊的一年，即是他十二年一循環的本命年。 法王噶瑪巴鄔金欽列多杰出生於 1985年 – 藏曆牛年 – 根據藏傳本命年的傳統，在這一年中為法王健康長壽、佛行事業廣大無礙而積聚廣大的福德資糧是非常重要的活動。 做為大寶法王在北美的主寺，噶瑪三乘法輪寺將舉辦一系列特別的法會和活動，來加入到這場匯聚善業如泉湧的事業里來。 “法王辦公室已列出一系列推薦善行的清單， KTD 僧眾、社區將盡力去行持。”KTD總管喇嘛噶瑪（右圖）說。KTD將立即著手進行其中的第一項：“供養重要所依（寺院、佛塔、佛像等）” 。  請參閱文末所附法王辦公室公告（英文、藏文、中文翻譯）。 KTD是16世大寶法王初次踏上美國、開始他弘法利生事業的地方，我們的第一任方丈堪布卡塔仁波切在世時，曾把這裡稱為「美國的菩提伽耶」。每年新年伊始、元旦的清晨，KTD都會在大殿中央莊嚴的佛像前點亮盞盞明燈，做為新年的獻禮。今年除了鼓勵KTD 僧眾、法友盡力供養更多明燈，喇嘛噶瑪也提到12月27-31日的阿彌陀佛極樂法會期間將有供花、供燈、薈供以及彌陀祈福超渡等儀式，因此也是大家為法王本命年積聚福德資糧的大好機會。 另外，KTD也在計劃安排白度母長咒的持誦及七天長壽法閉關。未來的幾個月內，還會安排其它一些特別的法會，比如二月藏曆新年之前共修三天的瑪哈嘎拉「古朵」法會、心經修法等。噶瑪林閉關中心的喇嘛們在瑪哈嘎拉日修儀軌中還加了一段噶瑪巴出生地護法耶祖的特別祈請文，該祈請文將在下一年中每天都會被唸誦。 喇嘛噶瑪也鼓勵KTD社區的法友們積極參與以下活動: 唸誦法王長壽祈請文。 持誦白度母長咒。 持誦長壽佛咒。 隨喜KTD法會、薈供。 隨喜“維修/恢復重要聖地、法物或佛堂”。KTD寺院的佛殿和佛堂都有需要維修之處，另外2016年毀於火災的哥倫布KTC中心也正在重建中，都是法友們可以考慮參予的殊勝福田。 大寶法王長壽祈請文、白度母長壽咒、長壽佛咒，點此 請為法王持咒的法友記下所持數目，屆時KTD 會在網上收集大家的持咒總數。 “今年對法王噶瑪巴來說是特別的一年， 我們要盡一切可能為法王的健康長壽和利生事業貢獻自己的力量。” 喇嘛噶瑪說,“對我們來說法王就是一切，我們這裡所發生的一切，都來自于他的恩德。”   隨喜初曦供燈 隨喜阿彌陀佛法會 隨喜KTD 維修 隨喜KTC 哥倫布中心重建 隨喜 KTD 法會、薈供   來自法王辦公室的消息 祖普辦公室之公告，略譯大意如下： 此致我等噶瑪噶舉教團與弟子眾： 眾所周知我等投花所中之法緣 大寶法王噶瑪巴殊勝 鄔金卓渡聽列旺機多傑，明年依藏俗卅七歲乃犯歲沖。為防範沖煞，我等弟子所應修誦法門如下： 供養、修整、粉刷重要之所依（寺廟、佛塔、佛像等）； 供養僧眾，佈施食物與孩童、窮人、犬類等； 《大白傘蓋迴遮》十萬次，《心經迴遮》十萬次； 盡力誦讀《文殊真實名經》、《賢劫經》、《金光明經》、《頂髻陀羅尼》； 息災火供萬次，《本幻供雲》與《智慧怙主十萬薈供》等。 為使怙主之一切心願得無舛自成，沖犯無絲毫徵象而根本平息，嵩壽不移恆存長久駐世，我等修積純淨福德之業，緣 怙主欣悅之供雲，勸請諸僧俗二眾弟子群策群力，使上述法務皆如理如法盡善盡美，較往昔更為精進，至禱！至禱！ 喇嘛天津多杰（台灣）中譯 祖普辦公室於2020年11 […]
