俄果寺乐助供养专辑
从八世纪以来，在西藏唯一可以接受文化教育的地方就是寺院。这个传统习惯到现在还是这样保持着，藏民们喜欢把自己的孩子送到寺院，让他们在这里学习各种传统文化知识和接受严格的佛教教育和各种技能（声明、工巧明、医方明、因明和内明等五明）。他们最大的愿望是希望他们的孩子将来能够出家修行。
俄果寺位于康藏地区德格县境内玉隆地区海拔约4600米的高山上，从第一世俄果仁波切于1723年建立这个寺院开始至今已有几百年的悠久历史。目前在俄果寺的常住大约有近80个出家人左右。其中小喇嘛占了大数，大概有50多个。每年还有新的不断被送入这里学习。还有无家可归被俄果上师收养的孤儿也学习、生活在俄果寺。这些小喇嘛们的教育以学习西藏传统文化和经论为主，每年要参加七个不同的法会。在恶劣的自然、生活条件下他们的学习非常刻苦认真。在每个新年有十天的假期可以回家，除此之外的时间就全部住在寺院里。所有这些人的吃、穿、用等日常生活都要由寺院来负责。
这些小喇嘛们多数是单亲家庭，只有父亲或母亲，家里的生活收入条件都很差，几乎没有能力来负担小喇嘛的生活费用，还有部分是没有父母的孤儿。他们的日常生活都是由寺院来负责管理，所有的学习、生活费用都是俄果仁波切来负担。这对于没有正常收入来源的上师和寺院来说每年是一笔非常大的开销。
根据估算在今年每个小喇嘛需要的基本费用是1800元人民币。这些钱平分到每天才4元多一些，这仅仅是勉强维持每天吃饭，能够不饿肚子的费用，还不包括衣服鞋子、医药等其他的基本生活开销。这些是生活在大城市的人们很难想象的。我们呼吁有能力的十方善信和海内外的友人能够慈悲乐助这些生活困难的小喇嘛。1800元就可以解决一位小喇嘛一年的基本生活。
Tibetan monastery
is the only place where local people can obtain knowledge in the past 1300
years. Untill now, residents are fond of taking their own kids to temples so as
to keep them educated and thoroughly put buddhist dharma into their mind and
vairous kinds of techniques such as five subjects: buddhist literature,
techniques, iatrology, ethnics and inner dogmata. Their purpose is to let their
children be a monk.
Ehguo
Monastery is located in the eastern Tibet of Dege County 4600 meters above the
sea level. It also has a long history since the first rinpoche of Ehguo who
constructed dated back to 1723.
There are more
than 80 monks in the temple, most of who are teenagers, from the age of 6 to16.
Apart from that, more and more children are brought there to have the chance to
get what they really want. Due to the rinpoche’s good heart, many orphans are
involved in community.
As we all know,
changeable climate in Tibetan is very terrible and devastating in term of those
who are adolescents. Dispite of this situation, they persist in learning and
working through day and night and also participate in seven different formal
Dharma assemblies every year. During 10 days of tibetan rular new year, they
come back home for family reunions and the rest of time they are in the
monastery to do their holy responsibilities that Sakyamuni has past on from
generation to generation, so that could be benefit to the world peace.
The expense
of these lamas is very high which include food, clothes, shelter and medical
care. Rinpoche almost used up his money to sponsor those monks for just one meal
in a day, because of shortage of money and the construction of the temple.
It’s estimated that a monk need 1800 yuan per year for his living that is to
say not more than 5 yuan for each in one day. How can we imagine that kind of
living standard in our big city!
Help these young people to inherit the richness
of their own culture. This is a rare opportunity to preserve a vital link for
future generations.
