And it did. Of course this will not be possible without the help of my Dharma Brothers who are always there to lend a helping hand.(雖有病痛纏身,但領了法會執事,就告訴自己:「你絕對可以,所有的事情都是你最拿手的。」感恩組員的合力協助,順利完成任務。) 禪修班學員╱傳純 Taking refuge offers us a meaning and purpose of life. I learn and practice to direct myself to awakening and keeping a mindful attitude. Through the observance of the Five Precepts I learn to be humble and patient, I learn to accept and let go.(受持三皈依,讓我學習要常保覺性與專注,使人生更有意義。持守五戒讓我學會謙虛與忍讓,學會接受與放下。) 禪修班學員╱傳燦 The moment this body began to wear the black & brown robes, I felt that I'm a different person - a person who is righteous & honorable. That kind of good feeling made me realized that it is the turning point of my life. I am now entering a new journey from selfishness to righteousness. During that day, it became clear to me what is really the essence of this life's existence and that is to uphold & propagate the Dharma.(受持五戒,搭上縵衣的那一剎那,感覺自己蛻變為正直且誠實的人,跳脫自私,邁入人生新旅程,也感覺自己的心因佛法的洗滌而清淨。我了解到生命的真義就是要實踐佛法、弘揚佛法。) |
