其中有无数的舍利子。 官员们也以供养使之欢喜。 之后在五月来到了西藏。 建造了一座三层的外在依怙菩提佛塔,其中安放了真实的加持之物。 出现奇妙的景象,当撑起伞盖时,感觉像是工匠的姿态,像是上师亲自用手撑起伞盖的样子。 撑起彩虹帐篷,降下鲜花雨。 在上师的月供上,向中等规模的南北僧众布施,并向寺院、寺庙和顶端建筑供养了大量的茶和布施品。 之后在六月,观世音菩萨多次化身转世于藏地。 第八世化身不动金刚处,带着自己所有之物前去,在日喀则仁蚌相见。 身语意之所依,手铃、海螺等。 帷幔、法衣、唐卡盖布。 曼扎、七宝碗等所有供品。 酥油、铜锅等所有炊具。 以诺布嘉为首的八匹骏马。 以最好的绿松石为首的五块绿松石。 三个金币。 二十五袋大米。 二十个丝绸坐垫等许多丝绸布匹。 大约有两百名僧人、官员和弟子。 献上了自己的粗布、铁器、氆氇等,无论大小。 虽然上师融入法界没有高低之分。 但总的来说,为了利益和安乐之源的佛法兴盛广大,为了众生获得安乐,特别是为了上师的无漏智慧越来越圆满。 嘉瓦仁波切噶玛巴戴上黑宝冠,给予了真实的祝愿。 上师一切智者前往藏地,献上了最好的供养,这样的美名传遍了十方。 之后向黑色的酥油灯供奉了数百盏酥油灯。 在往返的路上,向法主索南确珠巴等没有去南方的娘堆绒地方、果域地方等的大弟子们,分别供养了各自的加持、布施的份额。 向乃宁寺供养了米和茶,并向堪布供养了身语意之所依。 供养了虎纹三宝物。 之后

There were countless relics of the body. The officials were also pleased with the offerings. Then, in the fifth month, they came to Tibet. A three-story outer support Bodhi Stupa was built, and the blessings of the relics were truly placed there. A wonderful sight appeared: when the umbrella was raised, it felt like the posture of a craftsman, as if the master himself was raising the umbrella with his own hands. A rainbow tent was raised, and a rain of flowers fell. On the occasion of the master's monthly offering, offerings were distributed to the monks and students of the middle-sized north and south communities, and tea and offering items were also offered to the monasteries, temples, and top buildings. Then, in the sixth month, Chenrezig repeatedly incarnated as beings in Tibet. At the feet of the eighth incarnation, Mikyö Dorje, taking with him all that he had, he met at Shigatse Rinbung.

In general, for the flourishing and expansion of the Buddha's teachings, the source of benefit and happiness, and for the happiness of sentient beings, and especially because the master's immaculate wisdom is perfected more and more. Gyalwa Karmapa wore the Black Hat and gave authentic aspirations. The fame of the all-knowing master traveling to Tsang and offering the best offerings spread in all directions.

七月,我去了拉堆巴仲,为他们做了荟供和布施。我也努力展示了内供的铜像。八月,我从扎塘来,为北方洞穴的觉卧像镀金,献上哈达和灯,做了盛大的黄金供养。九月,我经过仲蔡姆果玉一带到达南方。从西藏方面,也得到了有助于供养和建造佛像的虔诚供养。同样地,迎请了精通工艺学的四位尼泊尔人,即洛古、鲁等人。十月初一,开始建造佛像。从南方来的僧侣、施主们提供了大量的黄金等供养。经过与上师商议,决定建造莲花生大师的三身降伏魔怨像,高一百一十一指;黄金宝塔见即解脱像,高一百零六指;以及一尊度母像,这些都用金铜制成,展现了尼泊尔精湛的工艺。在牛年正月,高大的佛像建成,并举行了盛大的法会。二月二十日举行了盛大的开光仪式,庆祝和吉祥活动在二十五日之前完成。尼泊尔人得到了丰厚的报酬,详情记载在目录中。之后,将剩余的黄金、马匹、银器、铁器、丝绸等所有物品交给本波索南益西兄弟,让他们在拉萨觉卧像前镀金、献灯和哈达,做了盛大的黄金供养。在吉祥的桑耶寺,主要供奉黑油灯,按照一百卡尔的酥油计算,并悬挂哈达。积累了非常广大的功德。还向噶波瓦绕绛巴供奉了一匹好马等五件物品。在此期间,我们想着要将所有的财物全部用完,作为语依的替代品,打算先送出一亿遍嘛呢。因为上师在世时也喜欢嘛呢,所以向大约一百名僧侣送出了一亿遍嘛呢,提供了丰厚的服务,大家都感到满意。之后,

In the seventh month, I went to Latö Barö, and made tsok and distributions to them. I also diligently showed efforts in the copper materials for the inner supports. In the eighth month, I came from Zartag, and offered gold wash to the Jowo of the Northern Cave, offered khatas and butter lamps, and made elaborate gold offerings. In the ninth month, I arrived in the south via the areas of Drungtsam Goyul. From the Tibetan side, there were also genuine devout offerings that were helpful for offerings and the construction of sacred objects. Similarly, four Nepalese experts in craftsmanship, such as Loku and Lu, were invited. On the first day of the tenth month, the construction began. From the southern side, monks, nuns, and patrons made incredible offerings of gold and so on. After consulting with the master and disciples, it was decided to construct a statue of Padmasambhava, the master of Oddiyana, known as the "Three Kayas Subduing Maras," which was one hundred and eleven fingers high; a golden stupa, the "Seeing Fulfills Meaning," which was one hundred and six fingers high; and a Tara statue, a unique original image, all made of gold and copper, and highly distinguished by Nepalese craftsmanship. Within the first month of the Ox year, the large statue was completed, and a very elaborate grand festival was also held. The actual grand consecration ceremony was established on the twentieth day of the second month, and the celebrations and auspicious events were completed by the twenty-fifth. The Nepalese were pleased with generous rewards. Details are clear in the catalog. After that, whatever remained of the gold, horses, silver utensils, iron, silk, and so on, was entrusted to the Bonpo Sonam Yeshe and his companions, and they made extensive gold offerings, such as offering gold wash, butter lamps, and khatas, in front of the Lhasa Jowo Shakya. At glorious Samye, mainly black oil lamps were offered, calculated at one hundred khal of butter, and khatas were hung. A very vast accumulation of merit was accomplished. Also, to Karpo Warab Jambapa, five items including a good stallion were offered. In the meantime, we thought of using up all the remaining wealth without any leftovers, and as a substitute for speech representations, we thought of sending one hundred million mani mantras for the time being. Since the master, when he was alive, also liked mani mantras, one hundred million mani mantras were sent to about one hundred monks, and generous services were offered, and everyone was pleased. After that,

现在都完成了。法王大成就者,法王多扎瓦,维那格敦嘉措,法务却嘉瓦等,以及拉堆曼仲上下之间的僧众们,迎请了达六肘高的莲花生大师像,以及用金铜铸造的佛像,并迎请了斯达孜活佛来建造。我们自己也迎请了法王日隆苏巴和丁科活佛,在法座经堂中建造了约十五个坛城。同时在七月二十七日举行了开光仪式,直到月末都举行了庆祝活动。详细情况请参考目录。分别用供养使各位活佛感到满意。此前的月供在任何地方都没有中断过。现在仍然强烈希望尽自己所有的一切来圆满上师的意愿,仅仅是为了积累资粮和净除罪障。尊者的圆满意愿也暂时完成了。唉呀!鼠年藏历正月二十五日,至尊导师融入了法界。从那以后,牛年七月起,我等追随者,供奉圆满的月供,建造了圣物。以行善的功德之本,愿吉祥上师的意愿圆满,愿追随者们积累资粮,净除罪障,愿一切都在一个坛城中成就!唉玛!在原本清净的大海中,三身功德事业深不可测,我以愚昧的心智如何能够理解?然而,凭借着强烈的信仰和渴望,仅仅以涅槃解脱的少许水滴,以领受的善根,愿如虚空般的众生,迅速获得普贤上师的果位!这是我南卓益西桑布,在吉祥的哲蚌寺西门,五大雪山宝库斯达孜山脚下,吉杰扎玛龙的尽头,在吉列门桑之前写下的,愿一切吉祥!祝您吉祥! 这是东方噶陀巴索南坚赞的传记。

Now everything is completed. Dharma Lord Great Accomplisher, Dharma Lord Do Trawa, Disciplinarian Gedun Gyatso, Dharma Master Chögyalwa, and others, as well as the monks and students from Latö Manzhong up and down, invited a Guru Rinpoche statue six cubits high, and Buddha statues cast in gold and copper, and invited Tulku Stagtsé to build them. We ourselves also invited Dharma Lord Rilung Suba and Tulku Tingkheb, and built about fifteen mandalas in the Dharma seat monastery. At the same time, the consecration ceremony was held on the 27th of July, and celebrations were held until the end of the month. For details, please refer to the catalog. Each Tulku was pleased with offerings. The monthly offerings before that have never been interrupted anywhere. Now, I still strongly hope to do everything I can to fulfill the wishes of the Lama, just to accumulate merit and purify obscurations. The wishes of the Lord have also been temporarily fulfilled. Alas! On the 25th day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar in the year of the Rat, the supreme guide merged into the realm of Dharma. From then on, from the seventh month of the year of the Ox, we followers offered complete monthly offerings and built sacred objects. With the root of virtue of doing good deeds, may the wishes of the glorious Lama be fulfilled, may the followers accumulate merit and purify obscurations, and may all be accomplished in one mandala! Ema! In the originally pure great ocean, the three bodies' qualities and activities are unfathomable. How can I understand with my ignorant mind? However, with strong faith and longing, just with a few drops of water of Nirvana liberation, with the received virtue, may all sentient beings like space quickly attain the state of Samantabhadra Lama! This was written by me, Namdrol Yeshe Zangpo, at the west gate of the auspicious Drepung Monastery, at the foot of the five great snow mountain treasuries of Stagtsé, at the end of Gyagye Zhama Lung, in front of Gyelek Mensang. May everything be auspicious! May you be blessed! This is the biography of Shar Katokpa Sonam Gyaltsen.
