依怙主 成就自在贝诺法王示现涅槃
藏传佛教宁玛派白玉传承的第十一代座主——法王 贝玛诺布仁波切已于2009年3月27日晚间八时廿分,于南印度拜拉古比(Bylakuppe)的白玉南卓林寺中,进入了般涅槃前的最后修持阶段——禅定 (Thugdam) 状态。
稍早于午间时,法王接受了来自宁玛派许多最伟大的祖古、堪布与喇嘛们的献供;他们群聚一堂,以向法王致敬。下午三时卅分,透过不丹政府的协助,法王在印度警方的前导护卫下,离开了哥伦比亚亚细亚医院(Columbia Asia Hospital)。法王于下午六时四十分返抵白玉南卓林,并依然躺卧于寝宫的床上。
祖古、堪布和喇嘛们,与法王一齐念诵祈愿文,直至晚间八时廿分。正当其时,法王在环顾四周后,旋即阖上双眼、进入禅定。
祈愿又持续了五分钟。在接下来的两个钟头内,所有人皆沉默无声。法王的禅定直到今日依然持续着,预期将会延续数日。待法王出定、舍离肉身之后,我方将会就最后圆寂事项发布官方声明,俾令众人依循传统方式向法王致礼。
依怙主 成就自在贝玛诺布仁波切,于1932年降生于藏东康区的波沃地区。驻锡南印度后,法王在少数几位僧侣的协助下,亲手建立起南卓林寺。本寺至今已成为世上最大型的藏传佛法重镇之一,僧尼合计凡六千余人。
法王也在世界各地兴建了寺院,并成立佛法中心,遍及台湾、香港、新加坡、马来西亚、菲律宾、澳洲、英国、希腊、加拿大、美国,以及其它各国。法王时常造访这些国家,给予教授、并赐予灌顶。法王之关爱与慈悲,住持清净毗奈耶(戒律)以及无止尽的利他发心等鸿范,乃谓德被寰宇,世所共赞。凡莲足所履之处,法王皆为该地带来了佛法的润泽。
法王将永远住在你我心里。

His Holiness Drubwang Pema Norbu Rinpoche Enters Thugdam
The 11th Throneholder of the Palyul Lineage of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism, His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, entered the final stage of meditation at 8:20 PM on Friday, March 27, 2009, at the Palyul Namdroling Monastery in Bylakuppe, South India.
Earlier, at noon, His Holiness received offerings from many of the highest Nyingma Lamas, Tulkus and dignitaries who had assembled to pay homage to him. Rinpoche left Columbia Asia Hospital at 3:30 PM with a Indian police escort arranged with the assistance of the Bhutanese government. He reached Palyul Namdroling at 6:40 PM and remained on his bed at the residence. Tulkus, Khenpos and lamas did aspiration prayers together with His Holiness until 8:20 PM. At that time Rinpoche looked around and then closed his eyes and went into meditation.
Prayers continued for 5 minutes and then everyone remained in silence for the next two hours. His Holiness’ meditation continues today, and is expected to continue for the next several days. When His Holiness releases his body from meditation, there will be an official acknowledgement of the final passing, allowing everyone to pay their respects according to tradition.
Kyabjé Drubwang Pema Norbu Rinpoche was born in 1932 in the Powo region of Kham, Eastern Tibet. His Holiness settled in South India where he built, from his own hands and with the help of a few monks, the Palyul Namdroling Monastery. The monastery has grown into one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist Dharma centers in the world, housing over 6000 monks and nuns in the complex, which also includes a hospital, and hospice.
His Holiness has also built temples and established Dharma Centers around the world - in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, United Kingdom, Greece, Canada and the United States - among others. His Holiness frequently traveled to teach and give empowerments at all of them. Worldwide, His Holiness is revered for his loving kindness and compassion, pure upholding of the Vinaya with ceaseless dedication to the welfare of all beings. He has brought and nourished the Buddha-Dharma everywhere he has been.
He will live forever in our hearts.
