大家晚上好！

Good evening everyone!

Namaste, Tashi Delek to all of you!

衷心祝福大家 !

Now I will have some accompanists, a flutist and a percussionist. But before we play the next song, I would like to explain a little bit about the song. You have an idea about it, which it's obviously the mantras. Mantras are always pronounced in Sanskrit, an ancient language. And according to what I learned, mantra means protection of mind. It protects the mind from negativity. Mantra is the essence of sound. It is the embodiment of all the truth in the form of the sound. So when we chant or sing mantra, it helps us to purify all the negative energy, and recharge with the positive energy.

现在我将有笛手和鼓手来进行伴奏。不过在我们演出下一首歌曲之前我想对其稍微解释一下。你们大概知道一点，显然它是梵呗。梵呗通常都是用古语梵文来念的。据我所知，梵呗意味着对内心的保护。它保护内心不被消极所侵。梵呗是声音之精华。它是以声音的形式对所有真理的体现。所以当我们诵咏梵呗时，它帮助我们净化所有的消极能量，并重新充以积极正面的能量。

And to sing these mantras in a melodious way is just a method that is used in Buddhist practice because melody in general has an inherent ability to sooth the very disturbed mind. It's a language that can be understood by every one of us, regardless of differences in our cultural background, or the places we come from, or the language we speak. It is a language that can be so powerful, and able to please the ears of the divine, human, animals and as well as nowadays some scientific very much proven that even the plants grew more beautifully.

而以富于旋律的方式诵咏这些梵呗只是在佛教修行中所使用的一种方法，因为旋律总体来说有种内在的能力可以抚慰非常不安的内心。它是一种我们每个人都能够理解的语言，不论我们的文化背景，所生活区域，或使用的母语，分别有什么不同。它是一种非常强有力的语言，足以取悦于聆听的神灵，人类，动物，甚至如今科学上已经证实甚至连植物都会长得更加漂亮。

So for such reason in monasteries when we perform ritual ceremonies, we always use different kind of melodies to perform the ritual ceremonies. Just now I started with a mantra to clear all the negative energy away. And the next is the mantra for Compassion Buddha. And we strongly believe that this mantra has the power to cultivate one's own compassion quality to the level where we will not only be able to heal ourselves but we will be able to heal others.

所以出于以上原因我们在寺庙里举办法事时通常采用不同的旋律来做这些法事。刚刚我以一首梵呗开场来清除所有的消极能量。下一首梵呗则是大悲咒。我们坚信这首梵呗能够将每个人自我的慈悲心提升到一个程度，不仅能治愈自我而且还能够治愈他人。

《度灵》

This next song is from a very profound Tibetan Buddhist practice called Cho. This practice was founded in Tibet by a Tibetan woman from the 11 th century. Obviously the conceptual resource was absolutely the Buddhist teaching. But she developed her own style, which is called Tibetan Cho practice. According to her terminology, Cho terminology, the title of this practice called Cho, which literally means to cut. It is emphasized on cutting through the ego-clinging. And according to the Cho terminology, ego develops when there is fear, fear of losing something, from very subtle level of things to very gross level of things. That's all the information about her. And she was known as Machig Lapdron, from the 11 th century, a great master. Besides her very profound teaching and her practice, these songs are very beautiful and melodious.

下面一首来自藏传佛教中一种意义非常深远的法门叫做断法。这一法门由一位藏族女性于十一世纪在西藏创建。显然其基本理念是完全源于佛经。但是她发展出了自己的风格，而被称为西藏断法法门。根据她的术语，断法的术语，这一法门的名称为断，从字面上理解就是切断。它强调切断对自我的执着。根据断法术语，自我滋生于恐惧，对失去任何事物的恐惧，可以是很细微层面的，或是很重大层面的事物。这就是关于她的信息。她是生活在十一世纪的大师，叫做玛吉拉准。除了她那些意义非常深远的教导和她的法门，这些歌曲的旋律也非常优美动听。
