秉持佛法慈悲濟世之精神,佛心寺於二○二○年元月二十六日,舉辦新春梁皇寶懺祈福法會暨慶祝活動。上午恭禮《梁皇寶懺》,並有佛前大供、消災、超薦等佛事,護法善信近三百五十人同赴法筵,大眾誠心禮懺,廣修福慧。
法會圓滿之際,住持法師慈悲開示法要,勉勵大眾以「懺悔、發願」開啟新的一年,懺悔過去,把握當下,發願以清淨的身口意,改往修來,自利利他;並致贈充滿祝福的福袋和法語,期許大眾將清淨光明的心運用於日常之中。
中午的新年慶祝活動,在鑼鼓聲及舞獅昂首闊步中展開。由英文禪修班學員擔綱的舞獅表演,令大眾刮目相看!餐會中,中英文禪修班及兒童禪修班學員共同演繹「戲說梁皇」音樂劇,融入英文歌曲及童話元素,巧妙地結合佛法與東西方文化,讓與會大眾從中了解《梁皇寶懺》的緣起及懺悔的真義──回復人人本具的清淨心。台上台下歡喜同慶,法輪與食輪齊轉,大眾滿載而歸。
位處美國中心地帶的佛心寺,十五年前,因開山祖師惟覺安公老和尚的慈悲得以設立,心法廣傳,落地生根。語言與文化的隔閡,隨著一場場莊嚴的法筵,逐漸消融;四眾和合,同心守護道場,弘揚佛法的願心,無遠弗屆!

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.(每個人是如此地互相幫忙、彼此支持。這些年來看見了佛心寺在各方面的成長,這是以前我覺得不可能發生的;在這個小社區裡,我們逐步實現了開山祖師的願景,我深以為榮。)

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. (不論排練或正式演出,劇組人員,義工菩薩,以及師父們總不忘以微笑、歡笑聲相互加油打氣。印象最深的一幕,是演出前大家坐在會議室的地板上一起靜坐;無聲更勝有聲,一切盡在不言中。)

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.(每當站在大眾面前演出的恐懼感生起時,我練習先以慈悲心接納它,靜下心來反問自己:那個害怕的「我」到底在哪裡?「無我」的修習和體認,讓我放下對面子的執著,也更能隨順不同領域、不同方式的需求,自在發心。)

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.(身為花藝組的一員,我發現練習定心的當下,插花的技巧提升了,呈現出莊嚴的作品;當心愈定愈靜,許多靈感便自然湧現。)

製作福袋需要反覆裁剪黏貼,但當希望收到福袋的人都能心生歡喜時,這項工作就不再枯燥。擺放餐具的時候,也盡可能擺放整齊,希望用餐的人都能衣食豐足。由此體會到,事情沒有枯燥、有趣之分,當真誠希望別人獲得利益時,「我」的執著就淡了,自然能自在發心。
