No s\u00e9 c\u00f3mo me llamar\u00e9 en mi pr\u00f3xima vida. En realidad no s\u00e9 si volver\u00e9 a nacer en un mundo donde exista tal cosa como un nombre. \u00bfLos escarabajos tienen nombres? Probablemente mi nombre actual, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, le ser\u00e1 dado al hijo de un ser humano ambicioso e influyente o un pariente manipulador. Y yo morir\u00e9 en el t\u00e9 del ni\u00f1o que reciba ese nombre.<\/p>\n
Cuando era joven, mi apodo era \u00abLepo\u00bb, que significa idiota. En But\u00e1n, a la mayor\u00eda de la gente no le importa que lo llamen idiota, gordinfl\u00f3n, bola de arroz, monje que dej\u00f3 los h\u00e1bitos o sart\u00e9n. De hecho, cuando But\u00e1n finalmente tuvo que doblegarse y adaptarse a los fen\u00f3menos globales de la realizaci\u00f3n de censos y de documentos de identidad, mucha gente termin\u00f3 poniendo su apodo en el pasaporte. As\u00ed que ahora tengo un khenpo en mi monasterio cuyo pasaporte dice \u00abYongba\u00bb, que es otra forma de decir idiota. Los apellidos rara vez existen en tibetano y butan\u00e9s, y mucho menos los apellidos de soltera.<\/p>\n
Todos los monjes reciben un nombre bonito durante la ceremonia de ordenaci\u00f3n o refugio, que rara vez se usa. Al principio, cuando estaba intentando construir mi propia escuela mon\u00e1stica [shedra] en Bir, ten\u00eda un pu\u00f1ado de monjes trabajando all\u00ed. Cada vez que nos dirig\u00edamos a los monjes por sus nombres de Dharma, como \u201cPoseedor de la L\u00e1mpara\u00bb o \u00abBandera de la Victoria\u00bb, nadie respond\u00eda. La \u00fanica forma de llamarles la atenci\u00f3n era decir: \u00ab\u00a1Helic\u00f3ptero!\u00bb o \u00ab\u00a1Saco de Sal!\u00bb y ven\u00edan enseguida.<\/p>\n
Luego hay otra colecci\u00f3n de nombres que la gente ni siquiera sabe que tiene. Los monjes de la shedra apodan a sus lopons y khenpos con todo tipo de nombres inventados a sus espaldas. Por ejemplo, el abad de Dzongsar Shedra, Khenpo Kunga Wangchuk, era un gran practicante tranquilo y muy dedicado al Dharma, pero algunos de los monjes se refer\u00edan a \u00e9l en secreto como \u00abGabbar Singh\u00bb, que era un villano s\u00e1dico en una pel\u00edcula de Bollywood de los a\u00f1os setenta, supongo porque le ten\u00edan miedo.<\/p>\n
Todas mis hermanas y hermanos ten\u00edan apodos. A mi hermana mayor Kelsang Choden la llam\u00e1bamos \u00abLemmo\u00bb, que significa mujer idiota, pero no era un insulto porque ella siempre ha sido muy inteligente y refinada. Asisti\u00f3 a la Escuela de Santa Elena, una escuela cristiana en Karshiang, Bengala Occidental, y nosotros, los ni\u00f1os m\u00e1s peque\u00f1os, siempre esper\u00e1bamos ansiosamente su regreso durante las vacaciones porque nos le\u00eda estos libros peque\u00f1os en ingl\u00e9s. Mi introducci\u00f3n a Caperucita Roja<\/em> fue a trav\u00e9s de ella. Las historias y dibujos de occidente eran muy potentes. Pod\u00eda escuchar Caperucita Roja<\/em> una y otra vez y nunca aburrirme, luego me quedaba despierto por la noche, con miedo al lobo.<\/p>\n A mi hermana menor, Yeshe Pelzom, la llam\u00e1bamos \u00abBaktangmo\u00bb, que significa algo as\u00ed como \u00abla gorda\u00bb porque estaba un poco rellenita cuando era joven. La imagen de la rolliza y obstinada Yeshe Pelzom con su chuba p\u00farpura oscuro est\u00e1 completamente grabada en mi mente hasta el d\u00eda de hoy. Durante el poco tiempo que pas\u00e9 en casa con mi familia, me sent\u00ed muy protector de ella. Por supuesto, ahora no est\u00e1 para nada rellena, pero sigue siendo un poco terca; la terquedad es una caracter\u00edstica de los hijos de Thinley Norbu, a quien sus iguales conoc\u00edan como la personificaci\u00f3n de la terquedad.<\/p>\n A mi hermano menor Garab Dorji le llam\u00e1bamos \u00abMeme Garab\u00bb, que significa viejo Garab. Realmente no me acuerdo de por qu\u00e9 se le apod\u00f3 as\u00ed. A mi hermano menor, Jampal Dorji, le llam\u00e1bamos \u00abGangongla\u00bb, que significa el guijarro. La imagen de \u00e9l babeando cuando hablaba de ni\u00f1o y todav\u00eda babeando hoy en d\u00eda nunca se ir\u00e1 de mi cabeza. A la m\u00e1s joven de mis hermanas, Pema Ch\u00f6kyi, la llam\u00e1bamos \u00abNiyamo\u00bb, que significa rat\u00f3n. Y finalmente al m\u00e1s joven de mis hermanos, Ugyen Namgay, le llam\u00e1bamos \u00abTaila\u00bb, que significa frijoles. Desafortunadamente, casi no me acuerdo de ninguno de estos dos m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes porque para cuando llegaron al mundo, ya hac\u00eda tiempo que me hab\u00eda ido de casa.<\/p>\n Com\u00fanmente y algunas veces oficialmente, me llaman Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, pero es un nombre algo general, no es personal para m\u00ed. Dzongsar es un lugar, como Nashville, y Jamyang Khyentse era el nombre de Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. M\u00e1s tarde, cuando se reencarn\u00f3, el nombre pas\u00f3 a todas sus reencarnaciones y, dado que yo soy una de ellas, tengo este nombre.<\/p>\n Cuando mis padres me llevaron de beb\u00e9 a ver al padre de mi padre, Dudjom Rinpoch\u00e9, me dio el nombre de Khyentse Norbu, que es el \u00fanico nombre que mi padre us\u00f3 para llamarme. Creo que Dudjom Rinpoch\u00e9 estaba tratando de dar a todos sus descendientes el nombre de Norbu: Thinley Norbu, Shenphen Norbu, Pende Norbu y luego a m\u00ed. Pero mientras crec\u00eda con mis abuelos en el este de But\u00e1n, algunas personas me llamaban \u00abLama Daza\u00bb, que significa peque\u00f1o lama. Y otros me llamaron Dungse Rinpoch\u00e9, que es como uno llama al titular del linaje familiar, como mi padre, Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoch\u00e9, es decir, hijo de Dudjom Rinpoch\u00e9.<\/p>\n Luego, cuando fui entronizado en Sikkim, Sakya Trizin envi\u00f3 una tela roja con \u00abJamyang Thubthen Ch\u00f6kyi Gyatso\u00bb pintado sobre un disco de sol, luna y loto soportado por dos leones. El 16\u00b0 Karmapa tambi\u00e9n me concedi\u00f3 un nombre: Tsangpa Lhayi Metok, que significa \u00abflor del cielo\u00bb. M\u00e1s tarde, fui al Dalai Lama para recibir su bendici\u00f3n, como es costumbre, y \u00e9l me dio el nombre de Shenpen Ch\u00f6kyi Nangwa, que significa \u00abproyecci\u00f3n del Dharma que beneficia a los dem\u00e1s\u00bb. Pero la mayor\u00eda de las veces, mis tutores y otros lamas se refer\u00edan a m\u00ed como Yangsi Rinpoch\u00e9, que significa \u00abel reencarnado\u00bb. Algunos de los antiguos lamas como Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoch\u00e9, todav\u00eda me llaman Yangsi. Cuando de ni\u00f1o recib\u00eda ense\u00f1anzas de Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoch\u00e9, me enter\u00e9 de que los otros j\u00f3venes tulkus a veces me llamaban \u00abTrimthar\u00bb, que significa \u00abpor encima de la ley\u00bb porque Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoch\u00e9 nunca sol\u00eda rega\u00f1arme, ni siquiera levantaba la voz, nunca una palabra dura, ni siquiera una se\u00f1al de desaprobaci\u00f3n, me metiera en el problema que me metiera. Creo que existe la percepci\u00f3n de que nadie m\u00e1s que yo pod\u00eda salirse con la suya. M\u00e1s tarde, cuando trabaj\u00e9 en el plat\u00f3 del Peque\u00f1o Buda<\/em> con Bernardo Bertolucci, el equipo t\u00e9cnico italiano tuvo dificultades para pronunciar mi nombre, as\u00ed que decidieron llamarme \u00abPiccolo Padre\u00bb, que creo que significa \u00abpeque\u00f1o padre\u00bb. Y por culpa de algunos traviesos singapurenses y malayos, algunas personas ahora me llaman \u00abJefe\u00bb a mis espaldas.<\/p>\n Imag\u00ednate las dificultades que tuve cuando lleg\u00f3 el momento de empezar a viajar por el mundo y finalmente tuve que hacer la solicitud de un fen\u00f3meno llamado pasaporte.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No s\u00e9 c\u00f3mo me llamar\u00e9 en mi pr\u00f3xima vida.

I don't know what I will be called in my next life. I actually don't know if I will be reborn in a sphere where there is such a thing as a name. Do beetles have names? Probably my current name Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse will be given to a child of an ambitious, influential human being or a manipulative relative. And I will die in the tea of the child who gets that name.\n\nWhen I was young, my nickname was \u201cLepo,\u201d which means idiot. In Bhutan, most people don't mind being called idiot, or fatty, or rice ball, or disrobed monk, or frying pan. In fact when Bhutan finally had to bow down and conform to the global phenomena of census taking and ID cards, many people ended up putting their nicknames on their passports. So now I have a khenpo at my monastery whose passport says \"Yongba,\" which is another way to say idiot. Surnames rarely exist in Tibetan and Bhutanese, let alone maiden names.\n\nEvery monk is given a beautiful name at their ordination or refuge ceremony, which is rarely used. In the early days, when I was trying to build my own monastic school in Bir, I had a handful of monks working there. Whenever we addressed the monks with their Dharma names, like \"Holder of the Lamp\" or \"Victory Banner,\" no one would respond. The only way to get their attention was to say, \"Helicopter!\" or \"Salt Sack!\" and they'd come right over.\n\nThen there is another set of names that people don't even know they have. Monks at shedra secretly call their lopons and khenpos by all kinds of made up nicknames behind their backs. For instance the abbot of Dzongsar Shedra, Khenpo Kunga Wangchuk, who was this great, serene, practitioner, so dedicated to the Dharma, but some of the monks secretly referred to him as \"Gabbar Singh,\" who was a sadistic villain from a 1970s Bollywood film, I guess because they were afraid of him.\n\nMy sisters and brothers all had nicknames. My older sister Kelsang Choden was called \"Lemmo\" which means female idiot, but it wasn't an insult because she has always been very smart and refined. She attended St Helen\u2019s School, a Christian ![\"Arthur_Rackham_Little_Red_Riding_Hood\"](\"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Arthur_Rackham_Little_Red_Riding_Hood.jpg\")
school in Karshiang, West Bengal, and we younger kids always eagerly awaited her return during the holidays because she would read to us from these small English books. My introduction to <\/span>Little Red Riding Hood<\/em> was through her. The stories and drawings from the west were so powerful. I could listen to <\/span>Little Red Riding Hood<\/em> again and again and again and never get bored, then I would lay awake at night, afraid of the wolf.<\/span>\n\nMy younger sister, Yeshe Pelzom, was called \"Baktangmo,\" which means something like \"the fat one\" because she was a bit round when she was young. The image of chubby, stubborn Yeshe Pelzom with her dark purple chuba is strongly imprinted in my mind to this day. In the brief time that I spent at home with my family, I felt very protective of her. Of course she is now not at all round but she's still a little stubborn; stubbornness is a trademark of the children of Thinley Norbu, who was known by his peers as the embodiment of stubbornness.\n\nMy younger brother Garab Dorji was named \"Meme Garab,\" which means old man Garab. I don't really remember why he was called that. My younger brother Jampal Dorji was called \"Gangongla\" which means the pebble. The image of him drooling when he spoke as a child and still drooling today will never leave my head. My youngest sister Pema Ch\u00f6kyi was called \"Niyamo,\" which means mouse. And finally my youngest brother Ugyen Namgay was called \"Taila\" which means beans. Unfortunately I have almost no memory of either of these youngest two because by the time they came along, I was long gone.\n\nPopularly and sometimes officially, I am called Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, but it is a somewhat general name, it's not personal to me. Dzongsar is a place, like Nashville, and Jamyang Khyentse was Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo's own name. Later, when he reincarnated, it got passed along to all his incarnations and since I happened to be one of them, I got this name.\n\nWhen my parents brought me as a baby to my father's father, Dudjom Rinpoche, he gave me the name Khyentse Norbu, which is the only name my father ever called me. I think Dudjom Rinpoche was trying to give all his descendants the name Norbu: Thinley Norbu, Shenphen Norbu, Pende Norbu, and then me. But when I was growing up with my grandparents in eastern Bhutan, some people called me \"Lama Daza,\" which means little lama. And a few others called me Dungse Rinpoche, which is how one calls a family lineage holder, such as my father, Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, i.e. son of Dudjom Rinpoche.\n\nThen, when I was enthroned in Sikkim, Sakya Trizin sent a red cloth with \"Jamyang Thubthen Ch\u00f6kyi Gyatso\" painted on it above a lotus, sun, and moon disk supported by two lions. The 16th Karmapa also bestowed a name on me: Tsangpa Lhayi Metok, which means \"flower of heaven.\" Later, I went to the Dalai Lama for blessing, as is customary, and he gave me the name Shenpen Ch\u00f6kyi Nangwa which means \"projection of Dharma that benefits others.\" But most of the time, my tutors and other lamas referred to me as Yangsi Rinpoche, which means \"the reincarnated one.\" Some of the older lamas like Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche, still call me Yangsi. When I was a young boy receiving teachings from Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, I learned that the other young tulkus sometimes called me \"Trimthar\" which means \"above the law\" because Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche never used to scold me, not even raised his voice, never a harsh word, not even a disapproving vibe, no matter what trouble I got into. I think there is a perception that no one else could get away with the things I did. Later, when I worked on the set of Little Buddha<\/em> with Bernardo Bertolucci, the Italian crew had a difficult time pronouncing my name so they decided to call me \"Piccolo Padre\", which I think means \"little father.\" And because of some mischievous Singaporean and Malaysians, some people now call me \"Boss\" behind my back.\n\nImagine the difficulties I had when it was time for me to start traveling the world and I finally had to apply for a phenomenon called passport.","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[32],"project_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1625","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-episodes-es"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=1625"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mugwortborn.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=1625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
