摘選之一：關於行聖天大禮和三種教育
【整理者按語】
中國漢傳密宗──聖密宗金剛禪佛教在世界宗教國會的出現引起了全世界各個靈性團體和靈性導師們的普遍關注。聖密宗的龍傘、聖密天、曼荼羅大鼓、大罄、大鈸、大魚、曼荼羅中鼓、曼荼羅瓔珞鼓、聖天大禮、聖天法帽、聖天法衣、漢密道歌、漢密手印、漢密身印、漢密咒語、漢密讚誦、漢密金剛舞等引起記者們好奇的詢問，擬分專題簡錄如下，以饗讀者。
一、 您們從塔斯曼尼亞（Tasmania）來，那邊是不是很偏僻？您們是不是住在農村？
答：我們住在塔斯曼尼亞（Tasmania）省的皞峇燈（Hobart），皞峇燈（Hobart）是塔斯曼尼亞（Tasmania）的省府（capital）所在地。
二、 皞峇燈（Hobart）巿郊是不是也是很偏僻，您們是不是住在山林或農村？
答：我們住在皞峇燈（Hobart）巿中心Collins Street。皞峇燈（Hobart）是一個美麗的地方，寧靜而不偏僻，整齊而袖珍。商業系統、文化系統、教育系統、醫療系統、飲食系統、建築系統、航海系統、漁農系統、娛樂系統齊全。民風善良、和平、
喜悅、熱情。所以並非是人們想象的那麼偏僻。
三、 因為聽說您們的僧團中許多人，從小就在僧團中長大，有沒有唸過書？
答：我們許多金剛長老都是大學畢業，碩士生或博士生，有的還精通幾個國家的語言，相當數量的金剛上師在塔斯曼尼亞大學（University of Tasmania）畢業以後派往全世界工作或弘法。
四、 看見您們的行大禮給我們肅然起敬的感覺，又有什麼法理依據嗎？
答：依佛教顯教的理念而言，我們效法〝常不輕〞菩薩向眾生行禮。我們是中國漢傳密宗，中國漢傳密宗的形象是很謙遜的。我們修持行禮稱為〝聖天大禮〞。
在这里〝聖天〞兩字表示世界宗教國會會議所在地是一個清淨之地，淨土世界，是佛國淨土，神聖的時空；表示墨爾本（Melbourne）是有神聖的山、神聖的地、神聖的人。
我們行大禮是向全世界的靈性領袖禮敬。向佛教諸流諸派的高僧大德（Most Venerable、Venerable）禮敬。行聖天大禮也包括對諸天諸佛行禮和對自己的自性禮敬。在這裡向自性禮敬，對人的生理、心理的調整和增進人身心的健康尤具價值，因為聖密宗的修行在傳統理念的指導和俱德金剛上師的幫助下，修行者個人是無所畏懼自解脫。
五、 您們僧團的成員有沒有適當的進行教育？
答：中國漢傳密宗──聖密宗金剛禪佛教傳統的教法就提倡三種教育：
（一） 社會文化教育；
（二） 中國傳統文化教育；
（三） 中國漢傳密宗教下、宗下的教相、事相、戒相、圓相教育以及個人修行的清淨、無我、調伏、精進教育。
六、 以上三種教育您們如何實施？
答：在中國漢傳密宗──聖密宗金剛禪佛教傳統教法的教育下，我們由中國漢傳密學研究院實施具體教育計劃的操作。我們向全世界各不同宗教的靈性團體和靈性導師（包括佛教或其祂宗教，也包括世間法普通大學和專科大學）征詢靈性教員，騁請祂們為我們的教授、講師以及研究員，展開各個學科的科學研究。中國漢傳密宗──聖密宗金剛禪佛教有理論教學和具體的修行實踐，達到離垢晶瑩，明空自鑑，無所畏懼自解脫。具體的修行過程就是《大日經》所聖示的〝菩提心為因，大悲為根本，方便為究竟〞。

Abstract 1 : About the Grand Holy Deva Prostration
and the Three Kinds of Education
【Editor’s comments】
The Appearance of Chinese Han Transmission Tantrayana Buddhism──Holy Tantra Jin-Gang-Dhyana Buddhism at the Parliament of World’s Religions has attracted general attention from each spiritual communities and teachers worldwide. The Dragon Parasol, Holy Tantra Deva, the Great Mandala Drum, the Great Mandala Praying Bowl, the Great Mandala Bo, the Great Mandala Yu, Mandala Zhong Drum, Mandala Ying Luo Drum, the Grand Holy Deva Prostration, Holy Deva Dharma Hat, Holy Deva Dharma Robe, Han Transmission doctrinal songs, Han Transmission Hand Mudra, Han Transmission Body Mudra, Han Transmission Mantra, Han Transmission extolling and praising, Han Transmission Vajra Dance of Holy Tantra Buddhism all attracted reporters' curiosity. We are now humbly sorting questions under special topics and briefly recording as follows for readers' kind reference.
1. You all came from Tasmania, is it very remote? Do you all live in the countryside?
Reply:
We live in Hobart, Tasmania. Hobart is the capital of Tasmania..
2. Isn’t Hobart also very remote? Do you all live in mountains and forests or in the countryside?
Reply:
We live in Collins Street which is the city centre of Hobart. Hobart is not a remote place but beautiful and tranquil, it is small but neat and tidy.. Hobart has complete business system, cultural system, education system, medical treatment system, food and beverage system, building system, navigation system, fishing and agricultural system, and entertainment system. The folkways are kindhearted, peaceful and joyful with enthusiasm. Hence, Hobart is not as remote as people imagine.
3. We have heard that there are lots of members in your Sangha community, many of them grew up in the Sangha community; so have they ever gone to schools?
Reply:
Many of our Vajra elder gurus are graduates from university, masters or even doctor’s degrees. Some of them are even proficient in many languages of different countries. Considerable numbers of Vajra gurus after graduated from University of Tasmania were sent to work or disseminate Buddhist Dharma worldwide.
4. Your Grand Prostration gave rise to our profound respect, is there any Buddhist Dharma principles behind?
Reply:
According to Exoteric Buddhist Dharma principles, we follow the model of Sadaparibhuta Bodhisattva to pay prostration to sentient beings. We are Chinese Han Transmission Tantrayana Buddhism and our image is humble and modest. Our meditative prostration is called the Grand Holy Deva Prostration.
The Words “Holy Deva” means that the place where the Parliament of World’s Religions was held was a place of purity, a world of pure land, a pure land of Buddha state, a sacred space-time; it means that Melbourne has sacred mountains, sacred land and sacred people.
Our prostration is paying reverence to spiritual leaders and venerables and most venerables from various Buddhist schools and sects worldwide. The Grand Holy Deva Prostration also includes paying reverence to Buddhas of multiple heavens and to one’s own self nature. Paying reverence to one’s own self nature has outstanding values on adjustments of human physiology, psychology and enhancement of physical and psychological wellbeing of mankind. Holy Tantra meditative practice is based on the guidance of traditional Buddhist doctrine with the assistance of the Vajra Guru of complete merits, practitioners fearlessly attains self-liberation.
5. Do your Sangha members receive any proper education?
Reply:
The traditional teachings of Chinese Han Transmission Tantrayana Buddhism──Holy Tantra Jin-Gang-Dhyana Buddhism promote three kinds of education, namely:
(a) Social cultural education;
(b) Chinese traditional cultural education;
(c) Under the Tantrayana Buddhist School of Chinese Han Transmission Tantrayana Buddhist education, practitioners receive education in the forms of teachings, forms of yoga, forms of precepts, forms of perfection and personal meditative education of purification, selflessness, subdued mind and zealous diligence.
6. How do you implement the above three kinds of educations?
Reply:
Under the traditional teaching of Chinese Han Transmission Tantrayana Buddhist education, our Chinese Han Transmission Tantrayana Academy implements concrete operation of education programs. We consult spiritual teachers from various religious spiritual communities and spiritual leaders worldwide (including Buddhism or other religions, worldly general universities or specialized universities), invite them to be our professors, lecturers or researcher fellows, and unfold scientific research of various subjects. Chinese Han Transmission Tantrayana Buddhist education──Holy Tantra Jin-Gang-Dhyana Buddhism has teachings in theories and concrete meditative practice to achieve separation from filthiness, attainment of glittering and crystal clearness, self-realization of light and sunyata and fearlessly attaining self-liberation. The concrete process of meditative practice is what Vairocana Sutra holy reveals, “Bodhicitta as the cause, Mahakaruna as the foundation, Upaya as the ultimate”.
