13.Promoting Lang dance
Lang dance and music derive from mind terma (treasury) of Patrul Rinpoche, he used to foretell that famine and war would be eliminated from snow plateau all over if Lang dance spread over, and it is the light of origin of blessedness. The Dharma King Jigme Phungtsog Khenpo said that whoever sees the dance, good luck and happiness will come over and no any sickness, wherever you dance Lang, there is no famine and war, all the good luck and blessedness would be increased. Especially for those followers who dance regularly at home will gain more. Now it is period of five Turbidities, wherever you dance Lang will remove declines of five Turbidities, religion and regime will be auspicious and thriving.

Guru Rinpoche has said that Lang dance is a method of training body and mind, it could be easier to enlighten and see self-nature through Lang dance if you believe in it.
Started from Patrul Rinpoche, many great Siddhas wanted to promote Lang dance and brought benefits to sentient beings. But causes and conditions are insufficient because of sentient beings’ merits and virtues are not enough. It doesn’t happen until the Dharma King conducted dance postures in person, then Lang has been promoted in Larung and Tibet, while yet to be propagated in world.
In the seventh “Ten Thousand Lamps Dharma Assembly” in 2011, Guru had assigned 16 disciples from Han people, 8 of them represent happiness and another 8 represent emptiness, trippingly dance on the stage of Great Bliss and Music in front of Dzogchen Practice Center. Under blessing from lineage patriarch of Patrul Rinpoche and The Dharma King, as well as blessing from our Guru. The dance is graceful and vigorous. It is integrated with patriarch’s aspirations of saving sentient beings, blended with appreciation to patriarchs from Khenpo Tamgrin, mixed together yearning to the Dharma King, fused with sincerity of fulfilling aspirations of patriarchs.
This is first time that Han disciples performed the Lang. this is very excellent origin that indicates Lang dance spread from Tibet to Han from now on, and goes further to the world.
Since then, Lang dance became one of daily practice in Dzogchen Practice Center and the on-line Dzogchen communities. Guru’s compassion and the power of his vow surpass everything; Lang has been propagated across country and world along with sentient beings’ blessings. The patriarchs and the Dharma King’s aspirations have come true.
13. 弘 扬 朗 舞
朗舞大乐乐音是遍知麦彭仁波切的意藏法。他老人家在世时曾预言:“此舞若能弘遍雪域中边,即能消除整个雪域的饥荒和战乱,具有显现幸福之光之缘起。”法王如意宝也曾开示过:无论在哪里,谁见此舞,都会吉祥如意,无诸疾病。此舞在哪里表演,该地区的饥荒战乱悉能消除。一切幸福吉祥皆能增上。尤其是俗家众男女若能定期表演,所居地区能获得广大的幸福。现在是五浊时期,无论在哪里跳朗舞,都能消除五浊之众衰,教与政一切吉祥、兴盛。
上师仁波切曾经开示说:朗舞具备了修炼身与心的方法,若是具有信心,通过跳朗舞,开悟、见性也许会更容易。
自上师麦彭仁波切以来,有很多大德都想把朗舞弘扬开来,利益众生。但是因为众生福报不够,因缘尚未具足。直至法王如意宝亲自指定舞姿,并将此舞在喇荣乃至整个藏地弘扬开来,但是尚未能圆满将朗舞弘遍世界的心愿.
在2011年第七届万盏法会之际,在上师的精心安排下,代表八喜八空的十六名汉众弟子,在大圆满实修中心大乐乐音舞台上翩翩起舞。在传承祖师麦彭仁波切及法王如意宝的加持下,在上师达真堪布仁波切的加持下,他们或柔美,或刚劲的朗舞舞姿,融合了传承祖师救度众生的心愿,融合了上师达真堪布仁波切对传承祖师的感恩,融合了对根本上师法王如意宝的怀念,融合了圆满传承祖师心愿的真诚。
这是有史以来,第一次由汉族弟子表演朗舞。这是一个无比殊胜的缘起,它预示着由此开始,朗舞将由藏地走向汉地,由汉地走向世界!
自此,跳朗舞成为大圆满实修中心、大圆满网络共修讲堂每日功课之一,成为各地大圆满实修小组的共修内容之一。上师的悲心愿力超越了一切,随着众生福报因缘的聚合,朗舞已经在全国、全世界广泛弘扬开来,传承祖师、法王如意宝的心愿已然实现。
