Today, the staff and students of Sachen School, an elementary school of Sakya College, were fortunate to have an audience with Their Holinesses, Sakya Gongma Trichen Rinpoche and the 42nd Sakya Trizin Rinpoche, at their residence in Sakya Dolma Phodrang. They received 'Kahgoh' blessings and advice from Their Holinesses.

佛陀乔达摩•悉达多出身于古印度北部迦毗罗卫国(今尼泊尔南部)的释迦族(梵语天城文:शाक्य,拉丁文转音Sakya,巴利文:Śākala),佛陀也因此被尊称为“释迦牟尼”(Śākyamuni),即释迦族的圣人。
所谓“释迦族”其实就是发源于欧亚草原的斯基泰人(Skutai),又称为西徐亚人(Scythians),中国史籍称为塞种人,他们自己称自己为萨克人(Sakā),或译为萨迦人,古波斯人把他们分为戴尖帽塞人、饮豪麻汁塞人、海那边的塞人三个部落集团。
斯基泰人操印欧语系东伊朗语族语言,他们曾经在亚欧大陆中部纵横驰骋了数千年,于公元前1000年来到印度半岛,因晚于雅利安人,因此只能占据今印度北方邦、比哈尔邦和尼泊尔国等当时的边远地区。
很难想象,温文尔雅、耐心教导信众的佛陀竟然是浑身散发着尚武精神与粗野气质的斯基泰人后裔,这不得不说是最令人意想不到的历史之“迷”(迷人的迷)了。

神通力是不敵因果業力的,神通第一的目犍連尊者就是個很著名的例子。
Supernatural power is no match for karma. Venerable Master Moggallana, rated number one in supernatural power, is a well known example in this respect.
釋迦牟尼佛在世時,憍薩羅國的軍隊要攻打迦毗羅衛國的釋迦族。爲解救釋迦族人,目犍連用神通把他們收於鉢中並升到天上,戰亂過後,目犍連把鉢取回,但見釋迦族人已經化為血水了,神通並沒法解救他們。
During the lifetime of Sakyamuni Buddha, the troops of Kosala wanted to attack the Sakya clan of Kapilavastu. Moggallana tried to save the people of the Sakya clan with supernatural power by hiding them in his alms bowl and raising them to the sky. After the battle, Moggallana fetched the alms bowl only to discover that the Sakya people had been turned into bloody water; supernatural power had failed to save them.
原因是在過去生有一條村落,當中有一個池塘,有一天村民把池塘里的魚全部撈出吃掉。到這一生,那些魚轉生爲憍薩羅國的軍人,而那些村民卻轉生爲釋迦族人償還業債,可見神通是不能違背因果定律的。
As for the cause of such karma, once in a past life there was a pond in a certain village. One day the villagers caught all the fishes in the pond and ate them. In this life, the fishes became the soldiers of Kosala whereas the villagers became the Sakya clan to redeem the debts of karma. It follows that supernatural power cannot violate the laws of karma.
