  【前舍利子之王吴祺迪瓦拉收集保全及供奉佛陀与弟子舍利子经历】

  吴祺迪瓦拉生于1947年10月13日缅甸中部迈克蒂拉分区的普佩斯村。10岁师父在缅甸受戒成为沙弥。20岁接受僧侣的任命。

  1979年吴祺迪瓦拉成为波罗密寺主持。1984年吴祺迪瓦拉在他的寺院创办了缅甸舍利博物馆。2019年吴祺迪瓦拉在马来西亚设立为舍利子国际中心。

  

 

  根据大藏经的毗奈耶部分记载,有两位商人达普陀和巴哈利卡布供养于佛陀,佛陀将八根头发赠给予兄弟俩。兄弟俩把佛陀的八根头发舍利放在一个金盒子里带回缅甸并供奉在佛塔。佛教传入缅甸已有2600多年, “缅甸“”被誉为“佛塔之国”及 “万塔之城”,全国大小佛塔共有10万多座给予善男信女礼拜三宝及供养佛陀及佛弟子的舍利子。

  经过历史的变迁,许多佛塔舍利子遭受到天灾如地震,台风及保护不周而摧毁。为了延续佛法及保护佛陀与佛陀弟子的舍利子,吴祺迪瓦拉跟随他的两位师父苏里亚(曼徳勒省密铁拉文塔比耶寺方丈)以及孔达纳(曼德勒省敏建大光莲寺方丈)的脚步收集保存及供奉佛陀与佛陀弟子的舍利子。

  吴祺迪瓦拉禅修(佛随念禅)的引导下寻找佛陀及佛陀弟子的舍利子,佛陀拥有九种的美德,觉悟了四个真理,拥有各种品德及波罗密。积聚了释迦牟尼的舍利。史载明顿王朝 什韦博区韦莱特蒂采克村有一位叫维鲁达卡拉僧侣收集和供养佛陀及其弟子的舍利子。维鲁达卡拉僧侣也通过(佛随念禅)地找到了很多佛陀与佛陀弟子的舍利子。

  

 

  吴祺迪瓦拉60年的岁月里,走遍缅甸各地收集,保全及供奉佛陀与佛陀弟子遗留的舍利子的文物,坐牛车及步行到乡下山区寻找坍塌古塔里面的舍利子,寻找地下常年无人敬奉的舍利,山林内无人敬奉的舍利等,在旧寺院寻找及收集佛陀与佛陀弟子的舍利子并且奉迎到缅甸舍利子博物馆内保留敬奉。有一次,吴祺迪瓦拉前往曼德勒地区敏建镇北部有一座名为目犍连的古老佛塔,在老佛塔里找到目犍连的舍利,目犍连舍利子是棕色的。

  吴祺迪瓦拉在他的波罗密寺院创办了缅甸舍利子博物馆,目的是将佛陀与佛陀弟子的舍利子供奉及保存在同个地方,让佛教信徒能够敬奉佛陀及阿罗汉舍利子。缅甸波罗密寺舍利子博物馆在当地及海内外是众所周知。有来自十多个国家和地区的高僧、居士及各界人士前来礼敬及供奉佛陀舍利及阿罗汉舍利子。

  此外,全国各地的僧侣们也把许多不同类型的佛陀舍利如发舍利,脑舍利和坍塌的佛塔发现的舍利子,送往供奉与缅甸舍利子博物馆。如佛在生时,发下誓愿“我佛舍利文物,将移居于有敬奉者之地”。

  

 

  吴祺迪瓦拉为了给更多高僧和居士能礼敬佛陀与佛陀弟子的舍利,他捐献许多舍利子给予很多国家仰奉,其中有泰国,韩国,新加坡,台湾,印度尼西亚,老挝,越南,柬埔寨,中国,日本和马来西亚。

  吴祺迪瓦拉的一生中,不仅保存和供奉佛陀与佛陀弟子的舍利子,尊者也在全国各地建造无数的佛塔及重建许多古寺院弘扬佛法。在2020年,爲了表章吴祺迪瓦拉在佛教上的贡献,缅甸联合政府封吴祺迪瓦拉为"阿加马哈萨达马乔提卡-达哈" 首座大法王的称号。

  

 

  前舍利子之王缅甸舍利博物馆创办人及波罗密寺主持吴祺迪瓦拉於2021年7月28日圆寂,世寿74 岁。

  张秋源博士因机缘际会认识了缅甸仰光波罗密寺庙舍利子传承人乌祺迪达瓦拉主持,得到了乌祺迪达瓦拉主持的信任,并且指定张秋源为他的传承人。舍利子传承人乌祺迪达瓦拉主持赠予了大量的舍利子,华琪舍利子博物馆得予建成并长期进行舍利子供奉收藏以及展示,亦是马来西亚首家舍利子博物馆. 华琪舍利子博物馆现有展品600多件,现展出有1000多件舍利子文物。以及不定时举办与佛教文化舍利子文物相关的文化艺术活动。

  世界舍利子之王张秋源(TEO CHOO GUAN)博士介绍说,目前舍利子是无法通过科学手段鉴定其是属于佛陀或哪位尊者的,但是缅甸乌祺迪达瓦拉却能说出各种舍利子是那个佛陀和高僧的以及身体中那一个部位。这也是乌祺迪达瓦拉的神秘而受人尊重所在。尽管舍利子的形成和自然生长是个神秘的不解之谜,但依然阻止不了普通民众对舍利子的好奇。

  

 

  2020年,吴祺迪瓦拉捐献了巨量的佛陀与佛陀弟子舍利子给予马来西亚吉隆坡华琪舍利子博物馆。吴祺迪瓦拉委任华琪舍利子博物馆为舍利子国际中心以传承保护佛陀和佛陀弟子舍利的使命,并永续佛教。以永续吴祺迪瓦拉在世的心愿。以旺盛及传承佛教另一个二千五百年的历史性使命,华琪舍利子博物馆将会建造1000座75厘米高的亚克力舍利子塔,以供奉舍利子于全世界各地的大寺庙。同时,华琪舍利子博物馆也建造84000千座 38厘米高的亚克力舍利子塔给予世界各大小寺庙及信众居士供奉瞻礼舍利子以旺盛及传承佛教。华琪舍利子塔是八角形塔, 分别有塔座,塔身七彩LED环绕灯光,塔刹组成。华琪舍利子塔将拥有:释迦摩尼佛血和脑舍利子,離婆多-舍利子,目犍連- 舍利子,阿难陀- 舍利子,迦旃延- 舍利子,西瓦利- 舍利子,舍利弗- 舍利子,巴库拉- 舍利子,五百罗汉-舍利子。释迦牟尼佛在许多经典中宣说了:“建造佛塔的各种殊胜和不可思议的功德利益:佛塔代表佛陀的"意",身语意之中,以意为王,最为广胜。世界舍利子之王张秋源(TEO CHOO GUAN)说“我能帮助上别人,那是我最高兴的事,用佛教的力量帮助别人是我高兴的事。

  目犍連 - 舍利子

  目键莲被譽為佛陀十大聲聞弟子中。出家前与舍利弗婆罗门教,交往甚密。同為刪閉耶外道之弟子,各領徒眾二百五十人。後舍利弗因逢佛陀弟子阿說示(馬勝比丘),而悟諸法無我之理。並告目犍連,目犍連遂率弟子一同拜謁佛陀。目犍連與舍利弗皈依佛陀後,共同精進修道,遂成上首弟子,輔翼佛陀教化。

  The Venerable Moggallana was being regarded as the “Foremost in Psychic Power” amongst Buddha’s ten Principal Disciples. He was a good friend of Venerable Sariputta. Both of them renounced the world when young and were disciples of the ascetic Sajaya Belatthiputta, and each of them had two hundred and fifty followers. Once, Venerable Sariputta encountered Buddha’s diciple Vererable Assaji and learnt about impermanence. He informed Venerable Moggallana who forthwith brought all his followers to seek out the Buddha and became His disciples. After Venerable Moggallana and Venerable Sariputta became disciples of the Buddha, they practised diligently together and soon became His chief disciples, assisting Buddha in his discourses.

  

 

  阿难陀- 舍利子

  阿难陀是提婆达多之弟,为佛陀叔父甘露饭王之子,是佛陀的堂弟。佛陀55岁时,阿难陀皈依佛陀。阿难陀专心侍奉佛陀,形影不离,直至佛陀涅 时止,跟随佛陀前后达25年之久。阿难陀长于记忆,凡是佛陀所说教法阿难陀都能铭记不忘,在佛陀弟子中数他闻法最多,因此而赢得“多闻第一”的称誉。

  

 

  The Venerable Ananda’s father was Amitodana the Sakiyan, brother of King Suddhodana; thus venerable Ananda was the cousin of Lord Buddha. He served as personal attendant to the Buddha who was fifty years old for twenty five years. He had an impeccable memory of most of the Buddha’s discourses and is referred to as “Foremost in Hearing Many Teachings”of Buddha.

  

 

  舍利弗 - 舍利子

  舍利弗,即谓舍利之子,是释迦摩尼佛十大弟子之一。

  舍利佛自幼形貌端严,年略长修习诸技艺,通晓四吠陀。十六岁即能摧伏他人议论,诸族弟等悉皆归服。年少之时即与邻村目键莲结交,投六师外道中之删阇耶毘罗胝子出家学道,仅七日七夜贯通其教要旨,会众两百五十人悉皆奉为上首。

  其时释佛示现成佛未久,住于王舍城竹林精舍,弟子阿說示(又稱馬勝比丘)著衣持缽入城乞食。舍利弗见其威儀端嚴,行履穩健,遂問所師何人所習何法。阿說示乃以佛陀所說因緣法要,說以示之令知諸法無我之理。舍利弗慧目洞開,旋與目犍連各率弟子二百五十人,同偕竹林精舍皈依釋佛。

  舍利弗歸佛之後,常隨佛陀輔翼聖化,為諸聲聞弟子上首。他有很多的美德,其中尤以智能渊深广大而著称,佛经中称他“智慧无穷,决了诸疑,辅翼圣化,聪明圣众”,所以在佛弟子中有“智慧第一”的称号。

  Venerable Sariputta , which means "Son of the Sari". He is one of the ten disciples principal.

  Venerable Sariputta was a dignified person since young. At the age of sixteen, he impressed all the others in his clan by being able to win over others’ arguments. He be friended Venerable Mongallana, they both renounced their wealthy families and became disciples of the ascetic Sanjaya Belatthiputta. It took them only seven days and nights to learn everything from their teacher and earned respect from two hundred and fifty other followers of the same clan.

  At that time, Buddha was residing at Venuvana (Bamboo Grove) Monastery. One day his disciple Venerable Assaji was begging for alms. Sariputta saw the venerable Assaji, modestly keeping his eyes to the ground and dignified in deportment, so Venerable Sariputta enquired about the monk’s teacher and teachings he practised. The Venerable Assaji replied with a very brief summary of the Buddha’s teachings on the relationship of cause and effect and impermanence. This opened up Sariputta’s wisdom and he went to find his friend Venerable Mongallana. The two of them soon joined the Order at the Bamboo Grove along with their two hundred and fifty other followers.

  After he joined the Order, Venerable Sariputta always assisted the Lord Buddha in his discourses, and became the chief disciple. Due to his superior intelligence, he was being regarded as “ The foremost of wisdom”.

  巴库拉 - 舍利子

  Relics of Venerable Bakkula (The Foremost in Health)

  

 

  富楼那 - 舍利子

  Relics of Venerable Purnamaitrayaniputra (The Foremost in Spreading The Dharma)

  富楼那彌多羅尼子简称 ”富楼那“是以父母的名来命名。富楼那父亲的名字“弥多罗尼” (梵语)翻译为“慈”, 富楼那母亲的名字“富楼那”,合起来叫“富楼那弥多罗尼子” 意思为满慈子,满愿子。

  富楼那善说诸法妙义,通达诸法的理体,並能广宣法理。所以在诸大弟子之中,他是说法最为第一的

  

 

  Purnamaitrayaniputra" (Purna) is means boundless preaching and compassion. It is named after his parents.

  Purna was very good at explaining the Dharma, and can propagate the Dharma well. Therefore among the Buddha’s Ten Principal disciples, he is regarded as the foremost in spreading the Dharma.

  阿那律- 舍利子

  Relics of Venerable Anuruddha (The Foremost in Divine Insight)

  阿那律是斛饭王(佛陀的叔父)的儿子,是佛陀的一位堂弟。最初阿那律跟着佛陀出家的时候,每逢佛一讲经说法的时候,人家是入定,他常常酣睡不起,被佛陀呵斥。因此,阿那律就发奋、发大精进力,立誓不眠。一连七天七夜没有睡觉后患眼疾导致失明。积极精进伤双目,佛陀怜悯他所以佛又以佛法来给他天眼通能照天照地。从此阿那律被推为天眼第一,能见十方地域及天上地下六道众生。

  Anuruddha was the cousin of Lord Buddha. In the beginning when venerable Anuruddha took refuge from the Buddha,venerable dozed off when the Buddha was explaining the Dharma and was reprimanded by the Buddha. Then, he vowed not to sleep and he lost his eyesight after refusing to sleep for seven days. Out of compassion, Buddha taught Anuruddha the power of divine eye. Thus, Anurrudha was being regarded as the foremost in divine sight, and it allowed him to see all matters and sentient beings in this universe.

  优婆离- 舍利子

  (Relics of Venerable Upali ( The Foremost in Upkeeping The Precepts )

  优波离一生都跟着释迦牟尼的,在释迦牟尼是太子的时候,优波离就来做佛释迦牟尼的宫廷理发师;之后优婆离和其他王子们一起随佛出家做释迦牟尼的弟子。优婆离在释迦牟尼的弟子中是持戒最第一的,对佛所说的戒律丝毫都不犯的,对于戒律上最精严。

  释迦牟尼入灭后的初夏,五百弟子在王舍城七叶窟举行结集,由阿难先诵经,结集成经藏。由优波离为律主来诵律,结集律藏。

  

 

  Venerable Upali followed Shakyamuni Buddha for his whole life. When Shakyamuni Buddha is still a prince, he was the barber of the princes in the palace. Then, he took refuge from Buddha at the same time with other princes. He is regarded as the foremost in upholding the precepts amongst the Buddha’s Ten Principal Disciples. Because Upali obeyed every precept which set by the Buddha and not violated at all.

  Early summer after the death of Buddha, five hundred disciples gathered and held the first council of the order, Ananda recited the Dharma and Upali recited the rules of the precepts.

  罗侯罗 - 舍利子

  Relics of Venerable Rahula ( The Foremost in Esoteric Practices )

  

 

  罗侯罗是梵语,意为“覆障”,因罗睺罗在母亲肚子里头住胎六年,受这六年的胎障之苦。罗睺罗是释迦牟尼佛的儿子。佛陀成道归乡时,十五岁的罗睺罗就跟随释迦牟尼出家修道,是佛教僧团中最早出现的沙弥,而舍利弗是罗侯罗的戒师。

  罗睺罗在诸大弟子中,罗睺罗是密行第一。因为罗睺罗随时随地都用功,都可以入定,一时一刻都不懒惰。罗睺罗的密行,一般人不知道。罗睺罗所修行的行门都是默默耕耘,没有引起任何人的注意。

  

 

  Venerable Rahula in the Pali Cannon, translated as “obstacle” because Venerable was in his mother’s womb for six years. Rahula is the son of Buddha before Buddha became a monk. When the Buddha returned to his hometown after enlightenment, Rahula was fifteen and Venerable took the novice ordination. Venerable was the earliest novice in the Sangha. And Venerable Sariputta is the preceptor of Rahula.

  Venerable Rahula was regarded as the foremost in practice amongst Buddha’s Ten Principal Disciples. It is because Rahula kept straight rules and studied hard without attracting anyone’s attention.

  迦旃延 - 舍利子

  Relics of Venerable Katyayana ( The Foremost in Debating the Dharma )

  迦旃延生于南印度阿提国弥猴食村婆罗门家庭。从小就和舅父阿私陀仙人学习吠陀之教。阿私陀仙人见释尊出生便时预言释尊将来必能成佛。他交代迦旃延悉达多太子成道后,需拜释尊为师。

  迦旃延擅长论议,所以在佛弟子中有“论议第一”的称号。你一般人说不出来的真义,迦旃延都能用很巧妙的方法简短的说出来,说得你心服口服,不是用势力压迫人,他是用这个辩才无碍来辩论,赢得一般人的佩服。

  

 

  Venerable Katyayana was born in Ujjayini, the capital of Avanti in Western India. In the beginning he was studying under his uncle Ashita, the great sage who predicted that the Prince Siddhartha would become a buddha and Ashita advised Katyayana to follow Shakyamuni Buddha.

  Venerable Katyayana is good at debating, so Venerable was regarded as the foremost in debating the Dharma amongst Buddha’s Ten Principal Disciples. The truth that ordinary people can’t explain, venerable can explain in a simple way and people will understand it. He wins the admiration of ordinary people by using eloquence instead of using force.
