A. 哲布尊丹巴呼圖克圖:簡介
Introduction:Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa
(1)哲布尊丹巴呼圖克圖(藏文:རྗེ་བཙུན་དམ་པ་,藏語拼音:Jetsun Dampa);蒙古語:ᠵᠠᠪᠽᠠᠨᠳᠠᠮᠪᠠ ᠺᠦᠲᠠᠭᠲᠦ,蒙古語亦稱溫都爾格根(高位光明者)、帕克托格根(聖光明者)或博格多格根,是外蒙古藏傳佛教最大的活佛世系,屬格魯派,於17世紀初形成,與內蒙古的章嘉呼圖克圖並列為蒙古兩大活佛。是與達賴喇嘛、班禪額爾德尼、章嘉呼圖克圖齊名的藏傳佛教的四大活佛之一。
(2)The Khalkha Jebtsundamba Khutuktus (Tibetan: རྗེ་བཙུན་དམ་པ་ Jebtsundamba) are the spiritual heads of the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia. They also hold the title of Bogd Gegeen, making them the top-ranked lamas in Mongolia.
(3)Amarbayasgalant Monastery, the location of Kalkha Jetsun Dhampa:
http://www.shugdentoday.com/?cat=889&feed=rss2There is no Lama more highly respected and loved within the Mongolian Buddhist community than Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche, in every of his incarnations. (Khalkha is one of the largest regions of Mongolia, and Jetsun Dhampa meaning “Lord of Refuge”).
The first Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa was recognized by the 5th Dalai Lama, whose incarnation lineage and name was itself also given by the Mongolians. Since that time, both have enjoyed a very close relationship that has also contributed to the rapid growth of Tibetan Buddhist lineages and teachings within Mongolia. Today, Mongolian communities throughout the world has as much respect for Jetsun Dhampa as they do for the Dalai Lama.
All incarnations of Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa are strongly remembered for the pivotal role they have played in bringing Buddhism to Mongolia, causing it to grow and keeping it alive to this very day. They have become leaders of the country in their own right, with some of them even leading the country in secular and political affairs.
In remembrance of the late Ninth Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa who passed away recently in March 2012, DorjeShugden.com would like to offer a tribute to this illustrious line of incarnations, particularly the Fourth who was known for his special contribution to spreading Dorje Shugden's practice. May his incarnations continually return to this world to bring Dharma to innumerable beings.
