秉持佛法慈悲济世之精神,佛心寺于二○二○年元月二十六日,举办新春梁皇宝忏祈福法会暨庆祝活动。上午恭礼《梁皇宝忏》,并有佛前大供、消灾、超荐等佛事,护法善信近三百五十人同赴法筵,大众诚心礼忏,广修福慧。
法会圆满之际,住持法师慈悲开示法要,勉励大众以「忏悔、发愿」开启新的一年,忏悔过去,把握当下,发愿以清净的身口意,改往修来,自利利他;并致赠充满祝福的福袋和法语,期许大众将清净光明的心运用于日常之中。
中午的新年庆祝活动,在锣鼓声及舞狮昂首阔步中展开。由英文禅修班学员担纲的舞狮表演,令大众刮目相看!餐会中,中英文禅修班及儿童禅修班学员共同演绎「戏说梁皇」音乐剧,融入英文歌曲及童话元素,巧妙地结合佛法与东西方文化,让与会大众从中了解《梁皇宝忏》的缘起及忏悔的真义──回复人人本具的清净心。台上台下欢喜同庆,法轮与食轮齐转,大众满载而归。
位处美国中心地带的佛心寺,十五年前,因开山祖师惟觉安公老和尚的慈悲得以设立,心法广传,落地生根。语言与文化的隔阂,随着一场场庄严的法筵,逐渐消融;四众和合,同心守护道场,弘扬佛法的愿心,无远弗届!

Everyone was so supportive of each other and willing to be there for one another. I have seen Buddha Mind grow through the years in so many ways that I never would’ve thought possible, it makes me proud to be fulfilling the Grand Master’s vision in our small community.(每个人是如此地互相帮忙、彼此支持。这些年来看见了佛心寺在各方面的成长,这是以前我觉得不可能发生的;在这个小社区里,我们逐步实现了开山祖师的愿景,我深以为荣。)

I watched the cast, crew, volunteers, and Shifus smiling, laughing, encouraging, and supporting each other during rehearsals, as well as the performance. One moment stands out for me. Just prior to the performance, the cast gathered in the small meeting room and sat on the floor to meditate together. No one said a word afterward. No one needed to say a word. (不论排练或正式演出,剧组人员,义工菩萨,以及师父们总不忘以微笑、欢笑声相互加油打气。印象最深的一幕,是演出前大家坐在会议室的地板上一起静坐;无声更胜有声,一切尽在不言中。)

Any time the fear of performing in front of a crowd arose, I compassionately embraced the sensation and gently asked myself the question: “Where is the I that is fearful?” The gradual cultivation of realizing an?tman (non-self) has helped to lessen the attachment to my reputation, and in turn has freed me to better help others wherever and however I’m called to.(每当站在大众面前演出的恐惧感生起时,我练习先以慈悲心接纳它,静下心来反问自己:那个害怕的「我」到底在哪里?「无我」的修习和体认,让我放下对面子的执着,也更能随顺不同领域、不同方式的需求,自在发心。)

As a part of the Flower Offering group, I have found that the practice of mindfulness improves one’s ability to prepare beautiful arrangements. Also the deeper the concentration, the more one receives creative ideas for the arrangements.(身为花艺组的一员,我发现练习定心的当下,插花的技巧提升了,呈现出庄严的作品;当心愈定愈静,许多灵感便自然涌现。)

制作福袋需要反覆裁剪黏贴,但当希望收到福袋的人都能心生欢喜时,这项工作就不再枯燥。摆放餐具的时候,也尽可能摆放整齐,希望用餐的人都能衣食丰足。由此体会到,事情没有枯燥、有趣之分,当真诚希望别人获得利益时,「我」的执着就淡了,自然能自在发心。
