Buddha teaches us that the tests are good Dharma. 

佛祖教导我们，考验就是好的教法。

Most Venerable Master Zhi-Ji Vimalakirti Maha-Thero, the Supreme Patriarch of Tantrayana Buddhism and President of World Buddhist Sangha Youth as well as the Spiritual Leader of World Buddhist Sangha Youth.

最尊贵的大师、智及维摩诘大长老，怛荼罗佛教的根本宗师、 世界佛教青年僧伽协会会长以及灵性导师。

Venerable Sir, and brothers and sisters in Dharma.

尊贵的先生，法内的兄弟姐妹们。

Now I would like to thank you Master for giving me this opportunity.  We are born I different parts of the world.  I’m born in Sri Lanka of South Asia .  Some of you are born in China of North Asia .  Some of you born in Australia and Tasmania .  Some of born in America , Canada , Europe, the Middle East ; different parts of the world.

我希望感谢　师尊给予我这个机会。我们在世界上不同的地方出生。 我是在东亚的斯里兰卡出生的。你们有些人是在北亚洲的中国出生， 有一些是在澳洲和塔州出生。有一些在美国、加拿大、欧洲、 中东出生，世界上不同的地区。

What are our differences?  Some are tall, some all short, some are fat, some are thin.  I’m Black.  Some are White, some are Yellow.  We are from different parts of the world, different races, different ways of thinking.  But our goal is the same.  Our target is one. 

我们的区别是什么？有些高、有些矮；有些胖、有些瘦。我是黑（ 皮肤）的。有些是黄（皮肤），有些是白（皮肤）。 我们来自世界上不同的地区，不同的种族，不同的思维方式。 但我们的目标是一样的。我们的目标是统一的。

We are students from birth until death.  We are born in a material world and learn about materialism.  We collect education, we collect the money, we collect the house, we collect the property, we collect the children, grandchildren and students.  But in the end we all die.  What can we bring into our next life?  We leave it all in this life and cannot take it with us.  However, we still like our hand, like our face, and our body.  In the end when we go they all stay here. 

我们从出生至死亡之时，都是一名学生。我们出生在物质的世界， 学习有关物质的知识。我们积累教育，积累金钱，积累房子， 积累物业，积累孩子、孙子和学生。但最终我们也会死亡。 我们可以把什么带到来世呢？我们都把这所有留在这一辈子之中， 不能把它们带走。但是，我们依然喜欢我们的手、脸和身体。 最终当我们离开时，它们都被留在这里。

But there are two things we bring with us.  We do good things in this life then in the next life we bring back good things.   We do bad things in this life then in the next life we bring back bad things.  This is what we call karma: good karma and bad karma.  We need to bring good karma from this life to the next life, and not cultivate bad things; we need to forget bad things.  We do not need to collect money, property or children, but instead we need to collect more merits.  You can see an example in our Master, he’s living this life for us.  In previous life our Master did many great services for the people, and so in this life our Master has become a leader for the people.  If you offer a lot of good food to people or animals in your previous life, then today you will get a lot of good food. 

但是，有两个（东西）是我们将会带去的。我们在这生中做的好（ 善）事，那么在来生中我们带回来好的东西。我们在这生做的坏事， 那么在来生中我们带回来坏的东西。这就是我们称之为的业： 善业和恶业。我们需要将今生的善业带到下一生， 而不是培养坏的东西；我们需要忘记坏的东西。 我们不需要积累金钱、物业或孩子，而是需要积累更多功德。 你可以看到，我们的　师尊就是一个榜样，祂为我们而活这一生。在过去世，我们的　师尊为人们作了许多巨大的服务，所以在这一生，　师尊就成为了人们的领袖。 如果你过去世供养很多食物给其他人们或动物， 那么今天你就会得到很多好的食物。

Do you know why they say America , Australia or Europe are the best countries, and some are not so good?  It is because the leading countries did good things in previous life, and so this life they have a good living standard.  We must cultivate good karma.  Buddha teaches that we must have good behavior, and then you can cultivate a good life. 

你知道为什么他们说美国、澳洲和欧洲是最好的国家， 而有些国家不是很好吗？因为这些领导的国家在过去世做了好事， 所以他们今世便有好的生活水准。我们必须积累善业。　佛祖教导，我们必须有好的行为表现，那么你才能培养出好的生命。

Master Bhagavan Zhi-Ji  Vimalakirti, He is not only your great Master, but actually a great Master for all of Buddhism.  He was born in China and came to the Southern part of the World and takes Buddhism to all parts of the world.  We very much appreciate His work.  We are different traditions, but we are brothers.  One family with different brothers, and our Master is like a great brother.  We call this great brother our Tantrayana brother.  And I am called the Theravada brother.  Another we call Mahayana brother, and then also have a Vajrayana brother, and then we have another brother called Zen.  These five brothers have different sons, for example Vajrayana has Kagyupa, Karmapa, Ningmapa, Gerupa, they are the sons of Vajrayana.  Even the Theravada brother has two sons.  They are called Dharmaute  (长老部) and Mahamikaya (大众部) .  Vajrayana and Mahayana even have different sons, even Taiwan you can see 佛光山、千佛山.  The same for Korean Zen, Japanese Zen and Vietnamese Zen.  About Tantrayana I do not know much. 

薄伽梵　智及维摩诘　师尊，祂不仅是你们的伟大的大师，也是所有佛教的伟大的大师。 祂在中国出生，然后来到世界的南面， 再将佛教传到世界不同的地方。我们非常欣赏（感激）祂的工作。 我们是不同的传统，但我们都是兄弟。一个有不同兄弟的家庭，而　师尊就像我们的大哥哥。我们把这位大哥哥， 称为我们的怛荼罗的兄弟。而我就称为上座部的兄弟。 另一个我们称为大乘的兄弟，我们亦有一个金刚乘的兄弟， 然后又有一个兄弟称为禅。这五个兄弟有不同的儿子， 例如金刚乘有噶举巴、宁玛巴、格鲁巴，他们是金刚乘的儿子。 就是上座部兄弟也有两个儿子。他们是称为长老部和大众部。 金刚乘和大乘甚至有不同的儿子，你在台湾可以看见有佛光山、 千佛山。韩国的禅宗也是一样，有日本禅和越南的禅。 对怛荼罗佛教，我则知道不多。

But we are all together one.  Different son, daughter, grandson, brother speak different languages and different way but we are under one umbrella – Buddha.  Then we have different arguments, different ideas saying this is good and this is bad but actually all are good.  All the brothers and grandchildren have no problems.  However, sometimes problems come from those troublemakers.  Because every house has ghosts.  Every brother, sister and grandchild practice in the correct method then the ghosts will run away. Then we will be good living together, working together, and so ghosts cannot live long with us.

但我们全都是一体的。不同的儿女、孙子、兄弟，说不同的语言、 作不同的行为，但我们都是在同一把大伞下──佛祖。 我们有不同的理由，不同的观点说这是好、这是坏， 但其实所有都是好的。所有兄弟和孙子都没有问题。 但是有时候一些闹事者会制造问题。因为每一间房子也有鬼。 每个兄弟姐妹和孙子修习正法，那么这些鬼就会跑掉。 这样我们又会再很好地一起生活，一起工作， 所以鬼是不能跟我们长住的。

Why did we make the World Buddhist Sangha Youth?  All brothers can come together in unity.  No more being disturbed by ghosts for any of the families.  Now the WBSY has 46 country members.  These 46 are different families, different brothers and different grandchildren, but our decision to choose a leader for WSBY was complete.  Last year after Taiwan ’s conference we had our executive meeting in February in Thailand – Dharmakaya.  But we did not invite Master because it is too far from Australia to Bangkok to travel for the one day; so there is no need as it is too tiring.  All the different traditions decided that Master is our spiritual leader.  Bhagavan Master Zhi-Ji Vimalakirti is our great leader. 

为什么我们创立世界佛教青年僧伽协会？所有兄弟可以团结在一起， 再不会受任何一个家庭的鬼所干扰。现在WBSY有四十六个成员国 。这四十六个是不同的家庭，不同的兄弟和不同的孙子，但我们为W BSY选领袖的决定是圆满的。昨年在台湾的大会后， 我们在二月于泰国的法身寺举行了行政会议。我们没有邀请　师尊，因为要一天从澳洲到曼谷的旅程太远，因为太令人疲累了， 所以没有这个必须。所有不同的传统都决定　师尊是我们的灵性导师。　薄伽梵　智及维摩诘　师尊是我们伟大的领袖。

Not just for Tantrayana but for all the ‘yana’ so that we make a Buddhayana.  All the leading monks from Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana together decided that your Master is our Master.  Because we need to have one leader.  Because we are registered in the United Nations, and they ask: “who is your leader?”  And here I will tell you something, the Vajrayana is made up of many groups: Kagyupa, Karmapa, Ningmapa, Gerupa.  Many, many groups all say that we can give the leadership to … and actually we plan after the Sri Lanka meeting, we handover our headquarters of WBSY to Tasmania , to Master.  Because Sri Lanka is the headquarters at the moment, and you know that Sri Lanka has very little resources and technology.  America, Australia and Japan attract more people, and so we handover this headquarter to a more developed and easier to promote country.  And Master also has a lot of dynamic and educated young Sangha around Him.  This is even more important.  We can use your resources to propagate Dharma.

不只是怛荼罗，而是所有的乘，所以我们能够制造一个〝佛乘〞。 所有从上座部、大乘和金刚乘的领导僧人，都一同决定你们的　师尊是我们的　师尊。因为我们需要有一个领袖。因为我们在联合国注册时， 他们问：「谁是你们的领袖？」而在这里我需要告诉你， 金刚乘是由很多组别形成的：噶举巴、迦玛巴、宁玛巴、格鲁巴。 很多、很多组别都说我们可以把领导给……，而实际上， 在斯里兰卡的会议后，我们将我们WBSY的总部交给塔州，给　师尊。因为斯里兰卡现时是总部，而你知道， 斯里兰卡只有很小的资源和科技。美国、澳洲和日本吸引更多人， 所以把总部交给一个更发达和更容易推广的国家。而　师尊亦有很多活跃和受教育的青年僧伽在祂身边。这是更重要的。 我们可以使用你们的资源去弘扬佛法。

Master has cold weather, but you have good energy.  Not many people know where Tasmania is.  I tell someone I am going to Tasmania , and they question where is Tasmania , is it a country or something?  But many people know the Master Vimalakirti is in Tasmania .  Because of the Dalai Lama we know about Tibet ; without Dalai Lama we don’t know about Tibet .  Because of Master Vimalakirti we know about Tasmania , and so Master is dynamic for Tasmania , a landmark for Tasmania .  This landmark we highlight around the world because this is the Buddhist way.  Master is doing a lot of work for the teaching, peace, harmony and compassion.  Buddha will always protect Master, but not only Master, you all will also be protected.  No matter if we are tall or short, white or black, rich or poor.  If our heart is more diligent then we are richer.  We need to be compassionate; we need to be humble; we need to tolerate, then we can gain everything more easily.  If you are hungry, cannot eat and cannot sleep, then you will have a lot of thinking; making our mind like a rubbish bin.  You can see our Master’s face is always laughing/smiling.  Why?  Master build up his mind.  His mind has no rubbish.  It’s perfect, and easier to concentrate  so that day after day He becomes younger.  His face is good, and good colour.  When our blood is dirty, our mind is dirty, and we age quickly.  So we need to build up our mind.

师尊（这里）天气很冷，但你们有好的能量。 不是很多人知道塔州在那里。我告诉其他人，我要去塔州， 然后他们就问，塔州在那里，它是一个国家还是什么？但很多人知道　维摩诘　师尊在塔州。因为有DL喇嘛，我们懂得西藏； 没有DL喇嘛我们不认识西藏。因为　维摩诘　师尊我们知道有塔州，所以　师尊在塔州是活跃的，是塔州的一个〝地标〞。 我们将这个地标在全世界把它强调，因为这是佛教的道路。　师尊为教学、和平、和谐和慈悲做了很多工作。佛祖会时常保护　师尊，但不止是　师尊，你们所有人都会被保护。不论我们是高矮、黑白、贫富。 如果我们的心更精进，我们便会更富有。我们需要慈悲， 我们需要谦逊，我们需要容忍，那样我们就更容易得到一切。 如果你饿了，不能吃不能睡，那么 你就会有很多思想；令我们的思想好像垃圾桶一样。你可以看到， 我们的　师尊时常在笑的。为什么？　师尊建立了祂的脑袋。祂的思想里没有垃圾。它是完美的， 更容易集中，所以祂变得越来越年轻。祂的脸色是好的。 当我们的血液是污秽的时候，我们的思想也变得污秽， 那么我们就很快衰老。所以我们需要建立我们的思想。

Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Tantrayana and Zen, the five Buddhist schools teaching our one teaching to cleanse our mind; this is the way of Nirvana.  We need to understand sufferings.  Why do we need to understand sufferings?  If we do not know sufferings it is difficult to understand.  Everyone ask the questions, “why was Buddha born in India ?”  India, as you can see, has all the weather, Summer and Winter, snow and hot.  Many religions, many languages, many kind of people, rich people, poor people, white people, black people, good people, bad people and even thieves.  So Buddha born in India was so that He could more clearly understand what is suffering.  You can go to India and notice it is dirty and all sorts of things, then you will understand what is suffering.  Then when Buddha became enlightened it was 2600 years ago.  The next Buddha will be born in India to understand suffering, for without suffering there is no happiness, and without happiness no suffering.  

上座部、大乘、金刚乘、怛荼罗乘和禅， 五个佛教流派都教导我们要净化思想，这就是涅槃的道路。 我们需要明白烦恼。我们为何要明白烦恼？如果我们不知道〝苦〞， 这样很困难理解。所有人都问这个问题：「为什么佛祖出生在印度？ 」你可以看到，印度有所有的天气，冬天和夏天，有雪又有热（ 的天气）。有很多宗教，很多语言，很多不同的人，富有的人、 贫穷的人、白人、黑人、好人、坏人甚至贼子。 所以佛祖诞生在印度，这样令祂能够更清楚明白什么是苦。 你可以到印度看到，它很脏而且有各种问题，你就会明白什么是苦。 当佛祖觉悟成道时，那是二千六百多年前的事。 下一个佛祖会出生在印度，以明白苦，因为没有苦就没有乐， 没有乐就没有苦。

Our life goes back and forth, up and down.  We need to practice the middle way.  Our Master is already the middle way.  Milarupa understood the middle way.  We try our best to build up the middle path.  This is the way that the Academy can learn of the middle way.  I would like in the future that we can discuss with the Master.  Cooperate between academies and different school.  Master I would like to appeal, as you have lots of resources we can provide you with the materials, BeiYiJing Tripitaka.  Master can make them digital materials, this is good for your academy.  Then it is easy for the Western world to learn about Buddhism.  And right now I have another proposal that your academy can do, which is for Museum.  Australia does not have a Buddhism Museum, but I see a nice project and preparations for the Buddhist Park .  I believe that Master can establish a Buddhist Museum as well.

我们的生命前后上下起伏。我们需要修习中道。我们的　师尊已经是中道。米勒日巴明白中道。我们尽力尝试建立中道。 这是（密学）研究院可以学习中道的方法。我希望在未来能够跟　师尊讨论。不同学院和不同流派之间的合作。　师尊，我希望申请，因为你们有很多资源，我们可以为你提供物质， 贝叶经三藏。　师尊可以把它弄成数码（电子）的材料，这对你们的研究院是好的。 这样西方学习佛教会变得容易。而现在， 我有另一个提议你的研究院可以做的，就是博物馆。 澳洲没有一个佛教博物馆， 但我看见有为建造一个佛教公园的好的计划和准备。我相信　师尊也可以成立一个佛教博物馆。

Thank you very much.  I hope that all of Master’s followers will continue to work with the Master.  Not only you but also invite your friends to come and learn to continue Buddha’s work.  Without your assistant we cannot work.  This energy is not only for us but also for future generations.  We need to continue this work for the next generations and next generations.  You give more energy for our Master to work, and he can continue to work for future generations; this is our duty.  We need unity and to take care of our duty too.  You are happy today.  We need our next generation to be happy too.  Master is also working hard for the next generation.  You work hard and give your energy to Buddhism gaining a lot of merits.  Transfer all these merits to Master so that Master can have a longer life.  Transfer all these merits to your departed relatives.  And we can transfer merits to our family members, and also make our daily life successful.  And we can transfer to our children so that they can have a good life.  Finally we transfer our merits all around the world for peace and harmony.  We can make a bridge for unity.  Tantrayana Buddhism and WBSY build a bridge for unity.   Peace and unity where we finally gain the happiness.

非常感谢。我希望　师尊所有的追随者，会继续跟　师尊一起工作。不单是你自己，你可以邀请你的朋友到来， 学习继承佛祖的工作。没有你们的协助，我们不能工作。 这个能量不仅是给你们，也是给未来的世代。 我们需要为下一代和以后的世代继续这个工作。 你们给予更多能量我们的　师尊去工作，那么祂就能够继续为未来的世代工作； 这是我们的任务。我们也需要团结和顾及我们的任务。 你今天快乐了，我们也需要我们的下一代快乐。　师尊为下一代努力工作。你努力工作，把你的能量给予佛教， 你会积累很多功德。将这些功德都转给　师尊，令　师尊可以更长寿。将这些所有功德转给你已逝世的亲人。 我们更可以转功德给我们的家庭成员，和令我们的每天生活成功。 而我们也可以转给我们的孩子，令他 们可以有一个好的生活。最后， 我们将我们的功德转给世界的和平和谐。我们可以为团结建造桥梁。 怛荼罗佛教和WBSY为团结建造了桥梁。在和平团结中， 我们最终获得快乐。

I am sorry that my English is not perfect.  But I don’t think that language is a barrier.  Our heart is more important.  In the beginning, Master and myself did not know each others’ language.  So our actions became our language.  I wish you all good luck and good health.  I transfer merits to Master.  Please excuse me for anything I may have said wrong.  I say a blessing for you.

我很抱歉我的英语不是完美的。但我不认为语言是一个障碍。 我们的心更重要。在开始时，我和　师尊也不懂相互的语言。所以我们的动作成为了我们的语言。 我祝你们所有人好运和健康。我将功德转给　师尊。若我有说错的地方，请原谅我。我祝福你们。
