這封信只是希望分享一些我個人的隱憂，因為我看到許多人以不同的角度、動機和目的在追尋修行之道——有些顯然非常令人欽佩感動，有些則動機非常可疑、物質化與世俗化。

MESSAGE FROM DZONGSAR KHYENTSE RINPOCHE: AUGUST, 2014

Message from Rinpoche
來自仁波切的訊息
This letter is just to share some concerns as I see the spiritual path
being sought from so many different angles and with so many different
motivations and intentions – some obviously very heartfelt and
inspiring and others very dodgy, materialistic, and worldly.
這封信只是希望分享一些我個人的隱憂，
I have heard and also seen with my own eyes that some people, using
different names, posting photographs taken with me, and claiming to be
my good friends, are doing all kinds of fundraising for their own
activities. In these ways they may give the impression that they and
their own projects are more than they actually are or are connected to
me.
我曾聽說也親眼看到有些人用不同的名字，拿我和他們的合照，
Of course, everyone is free to support and give to whatever cause they
want and to whomever they want – whether an accountable, legitimate
organization with a good track record or because one has a good
feeling for someone or likes them because they have a goiter. After
all, we are all karmically connected and indebted to each other, and
we are all our own masters. If you generously give with sincere
feeling, kindness, and the right motivation, you might even accumulate
some merit.
當然每一個人都有權利去支持和贊助任何事業或任何人—－
But if your main reason for supporting or giving money to people is
just because they say they’re my friends or kin or students or because
they make you believe they are connected to me or my work, then I feel
responsibility to warn you not to fall for that kind of trick.
但是如果你支持或捐款給某些人只是因為他們說他們是我的朋友、
For example, some lamas and organizations have said that I endorse
their projects, which in any case doesn’t mean much because I am such
an ordinary person. But if someone says, for example, that they are
producing the world’s flattest, biggest, smallest, shortest, thinnest,
or fattest Buddha statue, then I have no choice but to say what a
great thing that is, and in fact I often try to rejoice in that
because, after all, it is an image of the Buddha. Later, however, I
might find that they try to use that so-called endorsement to
fundraise and put pressure on donors.
例如，有些喇嘛或是團體曾經說我支持他們的計劃，
Of course, it’s up to devotees to do what they want. But after reading
this, you might really want to confirm which project is actually mine
and which is not. To make it very easy, please just refer to the
Khyentse Foundation website (www.khyentsefoundation.org), where my
personal wishes and projects and Khyentse Foundation related
activities are all described and explained. So anyone truly interested
in knowing what I do and wish for can visit there.
當然，信徒們要做什麼那是他們自己的決定。不過，
I certainly cannot judge what people do, but the main reason for
writing this letter is just to protect donors and their generosity.
With good intentions, many people voluntarily fundraise for me and KF,
which I appreciate very much. But we really want donors’ efforts and
offerings to be fully accountable and not to be wasted. And in this
world of spiritual materialism, I also want to protect people from
being misled in ways that later become a cause of regret and
negativity, where their generosity ends up becoming fruitless.
我絕對無法去判斷別人所做的事情是好是壞，
So for these reasons, I’d very much prefer that whoever wishes to
support my projects and Khyentse Foundation activities, please do it
through the official KF channels and by getting information from the
official KF representatives.
基於以上種種理由，
Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
