莲花生大士千年前惊世预言信

Padmasambhava(GuruRinpoche)’sshockingpredictionsmadethousandsofyearsago

许多人都知道七百多年前的法国大预言家诺查丹马斯的惊世预言，但是很少有人知道藏传佛教的创始人莲花生大士在一千多年前对我们这个时代的预言，很多预言在今天看来是那样的令人震惊和发人深省。

Many people are aware of the French prophet Nostradamus’s shocking predictions which was made more than 700 years ago, however few people know that Padmasambhava (also known as Guru Rinpoche), the founder of Tibetan Buddhism, had made many predictions of our times a thousand years ago, some of them seem to be so shocking and thought-provoking today.

熟悉或了解藏传佛教的朋友都知道莲花生大士，他是藏传佛教的创始人。在佛教的记载中，莲花生大士是古印度邬金国人，是阿弥陀佛、观音菩萨和释迦牟尼佛的身口意三密之应化身，为利益末法时期之众生而化生于人间。

People who are familiar with or understand Tibetan Buddhism all know Guru Rinpoche, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism. In Buddhist ures, Guru Rinpoche was born in the kingdom of Oddiyana in ancient India, he was a nirmanakaya of Amitabha, Avalokiteshvara and Shakyamuni Buddha in the three mysteries of body, mouth and mind, upapaduka-yoni among the livings in order to benefit all sentient beings in this period of degeneration of the dharma.

公元八世纪，应藏王赤松德赞迎请入藏弘法，他以密宗法术——收服藏地凶神邪崇，使之立誓拥护佛法。他还教导藏族弟子学习译经，从印度迎请无垢友等大德入藏，将重要显密经论译成藏文，创建显密经院及密宗道场，发展在家、出家两种僧团制，奠定了西藏佛教的基础。

In the eighth centuries, upon requests from Trisong Detsen, the king of Tibet, Guru Rinpoche was welcomed to Tibet to propagate Buddhist doctrines, he used Tantra mantras to subdue evil spirits and demons who then vowed to support the Dharma preached by the Buddha in Tibet. Guru Rinpoche also taught Tibetan disciples to learn how to translate ures, welcomed Vimalamitra and other most virtuous people to Tibet from India, translated the important sutras and shastras of the exoteric and esoteric Buddhism into Tibetan, he also founded the exoteric and esoteric colleges and constructed Tantra monasteries, developed two monks group systems for laymen and pravrajana, which all laid the foundations for Tibetan Buddhism.

因此，莲花生大士被认为是藏传佛教初兴之时的大阿阇黎（金刚上师），开创了藏传佛教。藏族人民非常敬爱莲花生大士，因此称他为“咕噜仁波切”，意为“宝上师”或“珍贵的上师”，或有时称他为“白玛卡拉”或“白玛炯涅”。

Therefore, Guru Rinpoche was regarded as Acharya (Vajrayana Guru) at the beginning of the rise of Tibetan Buddhism, he created Tibetan Buddhism and have been much respected by Tibetan people. Guru Rinpoche means ‘Greatest Guru’ or ‘Precious Guru’, or sometimes called him Padmakara or Padmasambhava.

 许多金刚乘弟子都知道，昔日莲师弟子曾向邬金教主莲花生大士请教说：“请上师慈悲开示，末法恶世的时代，是什么时候来临呢？”莲师很慈悲地说道：“当铁鸟在空中飞行（即天空中有飞机飞行），铁马在地上奔驰（火车和汽车）的时候，就是末法时代到来，这个时候佛教密法将会兴盛并且弘传全世界。

Many Vajrayana disciples know that Guru Rinpoche’s disciples used to ask Oddiyana Buddha-Guru Rinpoche for advice: "Honourable Guru, would you please kindly tell us when the period of degeneration of the dharma is coming?" Guru Rinpoche said compassionately: "When the iron birds fly in the sky (i.e. there is a plane flying in the sky), and when the iron horses run on the ground, then the period of degeneration of the dharma arrives, at that time will flourish and spread the world.

在这个末法时候，全世界会出现这样的情形，君王不像君王，人臣不像人臣，父亲不像父亲，儿子不像儿子，父子更像是玩伴。女人不守贞节，男人淫欲不检，佛教末法的许多败相征兆都浮现了。”

During this period of degeneration, the world will be like this, kings do not behave like kings, ministers not like ministers, fathers not like fathers, sons not like sons, and fathers and sons are more like playmates. Women are not virtuous, lust makes men disorderly conduct, and lots of devastating signs are emerging during this period."

莲师又预言说：“很奇妙啊！那个时代的车子不用马匹来拖拉，自己可以发动行驶。很奇妙啊！那个时代的青少年，为什么脚底下要踩着牛角，且装上轮子滑来滑去呢？很奇妙啊，那个时代的人们，不必出门，每天只要坐在镜子前面，就可以知天下世事了，且更可互通讯息啊！真是神奇啊！”也许大家看到这里都明白，汽车， 滑板，液晶屏，都是现代人很熟悉的东西了。

Guru Rinpoche also predicted that: "Marvelous! The cars of that era do not drag on horses, they can start running themselves. Marvelous! The youth of that era, why treading on the horns, sliding round on wheels? Marvelous! The people of that era, do not need to go out, just sit in front of the mirror every day, one can know and understand world affairs, and exchange messages with one another! It is amazing!" Maybe we can see it all here, automobile, sliding board, liquid crystal display screen, are all very familiar to the modern people.

莲师进一步说，那个时代，很多出家人追求名利，云游四方欺骗信众，处心积虑收取别人的财物，拥有个人私产但却不做佛事，不诵经文而沉湎于歌舞娱乐之中，破戒却心中没有愧疚。

Guru Rinpoche added, a lot of monks of that era pursuit of fame and fortune, roam around and cheat on followers, deliberately plan to take other people's possessions, have personal properties but do not do any Buddhist services, do not chant sutras and indulge in singing and dancing entertainment, break the commandments whereas never ashamed of themselves.

关于众生，莲师说：那个时代，会有女子在夫妻间进行挑拨（第三者插足），不孝的儿女将父母赶出家门，兄弟间为家产打架，造下五业却不起惭愧心，佛陀的教育渐渐沦丧。近亲之间会出现乱伦，很多人沉溺于赌博之中，瘾君子整天吞云吐雾，酗酒的人贪恋杯中之物，佛像法本器物沦落到市井上成为商品，很多人将祖先传下的珍宝卖给外国人，由于滥砍滥伐造成水土流失，导致自然灾害频发，城市里盗贼四起，乞讨的人遍布城市。

Regarding to all sentient beings, Guru Rinpoche said, at that time, there will be women causing dissension between husband and wife (a 3rd party involved in the breakdown of a marriage); unfilial children kick their parents out of the house; brothers fight for the property; people do five evil things/karma without shame, the Buddha’s teachings gradually fall into decline. Incest between close ; people get addicted to gambling; drug-takers smoke all day; alcoholics hooked on drinking; the Buddha image, ures, implements used in Buddhist service become commodities in the marketplace; many people sell the treasures received from their ancestors to foreigners; water loss and soil erosion due to severe deforestation, which in turn cause frequent natural disasters; robbers and beggars all over the place in the city.

铁龙年魔众入水域，（2000年即藏历铁龙年：发生震惊世界的俄海军库尔斯克号核潜艇海难等）水灾地崩恼害众人命，铁蛇年魔众入风雷霜雹，殃及众生遭逆苦困厄（2001年既藏历铁蛇年：发生热带风暴阿里森林造成损失60亿美元、印度大地震亡14000人等）。水羊年多有疫情传染流布（2003年即藏历水羊年，发生非典疫情造成全世界恐慌等）。

In the year of the iron dragon, evil spirits and demons enter into the water, floods and landslides kill many people’s lives (the year 2000 is the year of the iron dragon by Tibetan calendar: Kursk submarine disaster etc.). In the year of the iron snake, evil spirits and demons enter into wind; thunder; frost and hail, which bring disasters and sufferings to all living creatures (the year 2001 is the year of the iron snake by Tibetan calendar: $6 billion lost in Tropical Storm Chantal/Barry etc., 14000 people died in India earthquake etc.). In the year of the water sheep, epidemic diseases are out of control (the year 2003 is the year of the water sheep by Tibetan calendar: The outbreak of SARS caused panic around the world etc.).

酒食过多者因脑血管疾病死，嗜好赌行者因胃疾死，恶口兴谤者因喉病死，吸烟过量者因肺病死，食蛋蒜者梦魇恼乱死，猎杀兽畜者肝肠病死，造作诸业者悉得种种苦病死。木鸡年佛教式微，鬼魔众等易于加害，土牛年世界刀兵起（藏历土牛年世界会爆发大的灾难），很多人会于战火中丧命。

Heavy drinkers and eaters are died of cerebrovascular disease, compulsive gamblers are died of stomach diseases, people who often use abusive words and spread slanders are died of laryngeal disease, excessive smokers are died of lung diseases, eggs and garlic eaters are died of nightmare and emotional disturbance, animal hunters and killers are died of liver and bowel diseases, evil things doers are died of all kinds of sufferings. In the year of the wood rooster, Buddhism is waning, malevolent spirits and demons are easy to harm all beings. In the year of the earth ox by Tibetan calendar, major disasters or wars break out around the world, and lots of people will be killed.

 莲师的这些话，在今天看来，是这样的触目惊心。人类对于大自然疯狂的掠夺，虽形成前所未有的物质繁华，但是道德沦丧，盗乞四起，疾病流行，各种社会问题接连浮现出来。如果我们再不加以警觉，收敛自己的行为，终有一天会毁于自己的“文明”之中。

These words from Guru Rinpoche today seem such a shock and alarm. Although people all over the world luxuriate in an unprecedented material prosperity, human mad depredation of nature, moral decline, thieves and beggars everywhere, disease prevalence, social problems emerge in endlessly, if we do not care these alerts and restrain our own behaviors, surely someday we will be destroyed in our own "civilization".

猴年猴月的初十，是莲师离开藏地前往罗刹国的日子。2016年正是藏历火猴年（再过60年我们才能再遇见这个殊胜的莲师本命年），与莲师有着甚深不共的因缘。当年莲师离开时，曾对所有大臣和人民讲过：“每逢这一天，我必定会来到人间，对所有的人进行加持。”

The tenth day of the monkey month of the monkey year is the date on which Guru Rinpoche leave Tibet to Russia. This year 2016 is the year of the fire monkey by Tibetan calendar (it will be 60 years before we meet again this special Guru Rinpoche year.), and have a very deep hetu-pratyaya with Guru Rinpoche. When Guru Rinpoche left, he had told all the ministers and the people: "every tenth day of this year, I will surely come to the world, adhishthana (to aid, support and empower) to all the people.

不仅是猴月，每个月的初十，也是一切时间之王。 尤其在猴年的每月初十，莲师更会在南赡部洲示现千万化身度化众生，这是他的承诺。在莲师传记中，记载了每月初十，莲师利益众生、降伏鬼神的不同应化事迹。

Not only in the monkey month, the tenth day in each month also be the king of all time. Especially the tenth day in each month in the year of the monkey. Guru Rinpoche will appear in millions upon millions nirmanakaya in Jambudvipa to rescue all sentient beings, this is his promise. The biography of Guru Rinpoche records, at the tenth day in each month, Guru Rinpoche benefits all sentient beings, subdue evil spirits and other transformations of Buddha in accordance with the need of the different beings (different nirmana deeds).
