Biography

Khenpo Appey was born in Kusé in the kingdom of Dergé in 1927. He studied at Serjong Monastery and later at the Kham-jé shedra at Dzongsar Monastery.

阿貝堪布於西元1927年出生於德格王國的庫色（Kusé）地區，曾於德格的色穹寺求學，之後進入宗薩寺的康協佛學院。

At the age of nine he became a monk at Serjong Monastery, where a year later he received his first teachings from Gapa Khenpo Jamgyal, also known as Khenpo Jamyang Gyaltsen.

九歲時，堪布在色穹寺出家為僧。一年後，在色穹寺從噶巴的蔣嘉堪布（亦稱作蔣揚嘉辰堪布）獲得首次傳法。

For nine years, from the age of 14 to 23, at Serjong Shedra, Khenpo Appey studied ‘the thirteen classical texts’ based on Khenpo Shenga’s famous annotation commentaries. During his last two years at the shedra he studied with Khenpo Dragyab Lodrö who later became the fifth khenpo at Dzongsar Shedra and wrote a commentary on the ninth chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara. After his nine years of intensive study at Serjong Shedra, Khenpo Appey went to the shedra at Dzongsar Monastery, where he was able to continue his studies under Khenpo Dragyab Lodrö for another year. He also studied with Dezhung Ajam Rinpoche.

從14到23歲的九年中，在色穹佛學院，阿貝堪布以賢嘎堪布（Khenpo Shenga）著名的註釋為基礎，研讀「十三部經典」。在色穹佛學院的最後兩年，他跟隨察雅．羅卓堪布（Khenpo Dragyab Lodrö）學習。察雅．羅卓堪布日後成為宗薩佛學院的第五任的堪布，並著有一部關於《入菩薩行論》第九品的釋論。

在色穹佛學院密集研讀九年之後，阿貝堪布前往宗薩寺的佛學院，在那裡得以繼續師從察雅．羅卓堪布再學習一年。他也曾跟隨德松．安江仁波切（Dezhung Ajam Rinpoche）學習法教。

He went to see Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö in Sikkim in 1957. He then returned to Tibet and spent time at Ngor Monastery, but left in 1959 when Tibet was lost. He went to see Jamyang Khyentse who was ill in Sikkim. After Jamyang Khyentse passed away, in accordance with his final wishes, he began to teach Sogyal Rinpoche, giving him instruction on the Bodhicharyavatara in the Palace Monastery in the presence of Jamyang Khyentse's kudung.

1957年，阿貝堪布前往錫金探望上師蔣揚．欽哲．確吉．羅卓，然後回到西藏，待在哦寺，並於1959年西藏淪陷時再度離開，前往錫金探視病中的蔣揚欽哲。

當蔣揚欽哲圓寂後，阿貝堪布遵從其遺願而開始教導索甲仁波切，於錫金皇室寺院蔣揚欽哲的法體（舍利塔）前傳授《入菩薩行論》的講解。

Later, while Sogyal Rinpoche was attending school in Kalimpong, Khenpo Appey spent one or two years in retreat in a small village in Sikkim. He was later requested to tutor Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. For this purpose, he founded the Sakya College in Barlow Ganj, Mussoorie, on 19th December 1972, the anniversary of Sakya Pandita.

之後，當索甲仁波切於卡林邦讀書時，阿貝堪布花了一到兩年的時間在錫金的一座小村子裡閉關。其後，他受請託而成為宗薩．欽哲仁波切的親教師。為此，在1972年12月19日於薩迦班智達紀念日時，堪布在印度慕蘇里的巴羅剛吉（Barlow Ganj）創辦了薩迦佛學院。

In the first year, there were only seven students. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche studied there for five years. From 1972 to 1985, Khenpo Appey worked full time to look after the college and was responsible for teachings the classes, supervising the administration and raising funds.

第一年，佛學院只有七位學生。宗薩．欽哲仁波切在此學習了五年。從1972年到1985年間，堪布全職照管佛學院，從授課、行政管理，到募款，都由他一肩扛起。

In 2001 he established the International Buddhist Academy in Boudhanath, Nepal. He passed away in Nepal on Tuesday 28th December, 2010.

2001年，堪布於尼泊爾（加德滿都）博達納創立了IBA國際佛學院。2010年12月28日（星期二），他在尼泊爾圓寂 。
