*''"Thekchen Choling" is also the name of the 14th Dalai Lama’s monastery in Dharamsala (in the Kangra district of the state of Himachal Pradesh, India).'' Thekchen Choling is a registered Buddhist organisation in the Republic of Singapore.〔Studies of global Buddhism tend to focus on traditionally Buddhist countries such as Japan, Myanmar, Thailand, Korea, China, Tibet, and Sri Lanka; or, they look to new developments in the United States and Europe. Less attention is given to countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. See, for example, The Life of Buddhism, edited by Frank E. Reynolds and Jason A. Carbine (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2000).〕〔Kuah, Khun Eng. State, Society and Religious Engineering: Towards a Reformist Buddhism in Singapore. Singapore: Eastern Universities Press, 2003.〕 The organisation was started in 2001 by Lama Thubten Namdrol Dorje Tulku and a group of his initial disciples. The organisation promotes non-sectarian Buddhism, emphasizing understanding of Theravada 〔Trainor, Kevin. Relics, Ritual, and Representation in Buddhism: Rematerializing the Sri Lankan Theravāda Tradition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997.〕 and Mahayana teachings. TCCL is committed to the Rime (non-sectarian) movement within Tibetan Buddhism 〔See “The Sage's Harmonious Song of Truth: A Prayer for the Flourishing of the Non-Sectarian Teachings of the Buddha,” a prayer composed by the XIVth Dalai Lama, for an official expression of the wish that sectarian division will not harm Buddhism.〕 though it is of the Gelug trandition. The primary practices and teachings of this temple are from Guru Rinpoche lineage and Lama Tsongkapa lineage. ==History== The temple was started in accordance with the instructions of Geshe Lama Konchog of Kopan Monastery, with whom Lama Namdrol Tulku studied in the late-1980s and early 1990s. Other teachers from this monastery include Lama Zopa and Lama Yeshe, who have written many books and founded many Buddhist centers. Lama Namdrol Tulku’s other root guru (primary teacher) was Khensur Rinpoche Lama Lhundrup Rigsel, known to his students as Khen Rinpoche.〔TCCL homepage: http://www.thekchencholing.org/Templates/intro_abt.htm. Accessed 9/9/2008.〕 TCCL regularly hosts teachers from Kopan Monastery, Sera Jey Monastery, and several other Tibetan Buddhist teaching centers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thekchen Choling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
