欣逢农历新年,菲律宾海天禅寺于二○一九年二月五日启建「新春普门品祈福法会」,超过二百位菲律宾与华裔嘉宾共襄盛会,中华民国驻菲律宾代表处徐大使伉俪,及菲华文教服务中心尤组长伉俪莅会祈福,共度新春。
上午九时,主法法师带领大众佛前供灯,虔诵《观世音菩萨普门品》、功德回向。随后,徐大使致词感谢中台禅寺在San Juan地区设立海天禅寺,何其有幸能在此向佛陀学习如何管理自己、利益他人。海天禅寺护法会林会长也上台致词,感恩开山祖师广演禅宗心法,引领芸芸众生迈向成佛之道。
住持法师慈悲开示大众,透过精进用功,反省检讨、惭愧忏悔,清净身口意三业,就能见到本具的觉性,一步步走向光明大道,并祝愿与会嘉宾新的一年福慧圆满、处处吉祥。大众在住持法师带领下,齐诵〈钟声偈〉,祈愿世界干戈永息、一切众生俱成正觉。
午后,为期一周的「十福临门闯心关──寻找自性宝珠」新春活动正式展开,当天逾五百位信众热烈参与。下午,San Juan警察局长伉俪及警员、里长等一行十人莅寺参访,至诚叩钟发愿、供灯祈福。
殊胜的新春祈福法会,人人法喜洋溢。祈愿中台心法广传菲国大地,接引多元族裔点亮自性心灯,灯灯相传,明明无尽!

The highlight of the day was the inspiring, invaluable Dharma talk of Abbess. Shifu mentioned to constantly reflect inwardly and most importantly to repent and to reform, cleansing and detoxifying ourselves for a clearer, brighter path of finding our true minds. Shifu reminded us that the blessings we seek should be within us. I strongly believe that learning and practicing the True Teachings in Ocean Sky can lead us to true happiness. (法会中最精彩的莫过于佛法开示,不但启迪人心、更是珍贵无价。住持法师提醒我们,要不断地向内返照,更重要的是惭愧忏悔、改往修来。透过净化心灵、去除垢染,走向清净光明大道,以期找到本具真心。福报是本自具足,并非向外求得。我深信在海天学习及实践佛法的真理,一定可以引领我们走向真正的安乐。)

I am happy to see all the volunteers doing their work so sincerely and diligently, without complaining, and they always have smiles on their faces. And at the end of the day, when it was already time to close all activities, there was a good feeling of satisfaction, knowing I have been given another chance to do service to the Monastery, the Shifus, the members, and the public. For this I am very grateful. (看着所有义工真诚、精进地付出,过程中毫无怨言,总是笑容满面,我感到非常高兴。在活动结束之际,满足感油然而生。我万分感激,有机会能够为禅寺、师父、学员与大众付出。)

十关活动义工╱法道
Now, I understand why the Shifus of Ocean Sky dedicated their lives to serving in the monastery. Helping people even for just one day, to hopefully find their way to their own true minds someday, is a blessed feeling. (现在我明白为何海天的法师们,愿意在禅寺全心全力付出。为了要帮助众生找到真心,哪怕只是付出一天,这让我感到很有福报。)

许多义工、师兄、亲朋好友一同来到海天禅寺迎接新年、聆听主法法师开示、听法音鼓、叩菩提钟。特别是叩钟,让我们发起对众生的慈悲心,真的很棒!
环保组╱传典
每年春节,海天举办十关活动,让更多人认识佛教,真是意义深远。今年参加的人非常多,连附近工地的工作人员也前来参与。来寺人数年年增加,真是「海纳百川,广度有情」!
