八十四大成就者之咕噜韦那巴传｜Songs and Histories of the Eighty......

大师名字的由来是指弹六弦琴者。他是嗄府拉地方人，是王室，上师是布达巴。他得到了喜金刚成就。

在嗄府拉地方的国王有一个孩子，他得到了父母和人民的宠爱，有八个奶妈照顾，在快乐中成长。王子周围经常围绕着许多乐师演奏音乐，而由于往昔业习力量的影响，当王子内心完全专注在打鼓声时，仍能同时弹奏弦琴。对于世间的其它事物，王子则毫不关心。国王、皇后和大臣们及人民共同相议，王子已长大成人，将会接掌国政，但是王子毫不理会国政，只是喜欢弹琴。

一天，有一位博学的瑜伽士布达巴来到王子面前，王子对他生起了信心，就向瑜伽士顶礼绕行，并且坦诚的和瑜伽士交谈着种种事情，瑜伽士就在王子处停留了一段时间。瑜伽士观察王子的佛法因缘已成熟，就问王子：“王子您不学习佛法吗？”王子回答：“瑜伽士，我愿意修持佛法，但是我不能抛弃音乐和手鼓。若是有不用放弃音乐，而仍然可以来修持的方法，我就愿意来修持。”瑜伽士告诉他：“如果你对佛法修持具有信心和毅力，不用放弃手鼓，也能够来禅修佛法的教授。”

王子就向他求法。瑜伽士就给了他成熟心性的灌顶，并告诉王子的禅修口诀是：“抛离耳中所听到对手鼓声的分别妄想，心所缘处和对声音的分别两者是无分别的，依此来禅修。”王子依此禅修了九年，心的染污得到了清净，生起了如灯火般的明光觉受，得到了大手印的成就。心中也产生了许多神通功德，瑜伽士韦拿巴的声名也因此传扬至四方。他对嘎府拉地区的人民教授了无量的法教，最后大师说明了自己的证悟过程等等，即身前往了法界空行净土。

这是咕噜韦那巴大师的故事。

Songs and Histories of the Eighty-Four Buddhist Siddhas—Guru Vinapa

Guru Vinapa, meaning the vina(a kind of seven-string instruments) player, was born into the royal family of the country of Gahuri. He was taught by Guru Buddhapa and gained the enlightenment of Hevajra eventually.

In Gahuri, the king had a kid who was cherished by his parents and people. He grew up in happiness under the care of eight nannies. The prince was always accompanied by a group of musicians playing music. Because of his past karma and habitual tendency the prince was able to play vina while fully concentrated on the sound of drums. Yet the prince had no interest in other worldly things. The king, the queen, ministers and the people all agreed that the prince had grown up to take over the country, but hewas too obsessed withplaying vina to manage national affairs.

One day a knowledgeable yogi Buddhapa came the prince. The prince raised faith inhim, made prostrations to him and circumambulated him. The prince communicated with the yogi about all kinds of things and the yogi stayed with the prince for a period of time.YogiBuddhapa found that proper conditions of Dharma (causes and conditions) were ripe, so he asked the prince, "Would you like to practice Dharma?" The prince replied, “Yogi, I am willing to practice, but I cannot give up music and tambourine. The only sadhanas I would practice is one that I could learn without abandoning music.” The yogi told him, " If you have faith in Dharma and perseverance, you canpractice the teaching of Dharma by meditation without abandoning tambourine.

So the prince prayed to Yogi Buddhapa for Dharma. Yogi Buddhapa granted him an empowerment of maturing the nature of mind and taught him the pith of meditation: " you must free yourself of all distinction between the sound that is struck and what the mind perceives, to cease all interference with the sound, conceptualizing, critical and judgmental thought, and to contemplate only on pure sound." The prince practiced the pith for nine years and his mind was purified. Illuminated reflection aroused in him like a shining beacon and he realized the nature of Mahamudra and gained a great number of special abilities and merits. Yogi Vinapa became popular and taught numerous precepts to the people in Gahuri. Master Vinapa illuminated how he realized the essence of Dharma and he went to the Paradise of the Dakinis.

This is the story of master guru Vinapa.
