美国佛门寺半日禅修活动文／美国佛门寺提供  随着疫情趋缓，佛门寺恢复实体禅修活动，于一百一十二年七月九日上午，举办半日禅修，学员秉持欢喜感恩之心，齐聚一堂，万缘放下，精进用功。 禅修活动期间，全程禁语摄心。学员报到后，复习基本行仪、恭诵《心经》，于三支香当中，坐香、行慢香，体会「行亦禅、坐亦禅」，练习处处随顺觉性，时时坚住正念。住持法师于静坐中开示「客尘主空」的道理，勉励学员老实观照自己的念头，作自己觉性的主人，不被尘劳妄想所覆，才是真正的自在。 学员们体会到禅修的殊胜利益，期许能将此体验落实于日常生活中，并将这份法喜分享给更多的有缘大众。 法会心得 护法会会长╱传洵 在庄严清净的禅堂里，心沉静了许多，师父开示「客尘主空」的道理，我体会到这念心能作主不动、清楚明白，就能见性，禅修定心是很重要的修行功课。 半日禅时间非常短，心才稍沉淀些就已结束，但也是忙碌现代人最佳禅修入门。期许自己要把握每一支香的因缘，落实解行并重。 护法会副会长╱传惇 In the Abbess’ Dharma talk, I heard the dust and air analogy, which made me aware that I live with a myriad of delusions every day. Only through my practice and meditation will I begin to work to identify and eradicate them. This realization brought me a sense of liberation and calm that is still with me. I am reminded of the importance of meditation retreats. Without them and the guidance they afford I become stuck in my practice, with them I come away with a deeper understanding that helps me move my practice forward and for this I am truly grateful. （住持法师开示「客尘主空」的譬喻，使我意识到，自己每天都活在无数尘劳妄想之中。唯有透过修行和静坐，才能觉察和去除妄境。这个体悟带给我一种解脱和平静，至今仍在我心中持续着。这也再度提醒了我禅修的重要性，有善知识引导，禅修才能有较深刻的体会，使我修行有所进步，对此我深深感恩。） 研经禅修班学员╱传谙 I am sometimes easily swept away by unproductive thinking patterns in daily life, and the Half Day Retreat is a wonderful opportunity to tap into the Pure Awareness again, even if only briefly. The experiential reference point is highly beneficial in motivating us to confront challenges with a more realistic perspective and embrace the practices of the Bodhisattva path. It is an honor to practice at a Chan School which follows the ways of such an excellent lineage of teachers. （有时我会困在徒劳的妄想模式中，半日禅正是让我重新找到自己清净心的绝佳机会。即使时间很短暂，半日禅的体验鼓励我以佛法的真理面对挑战，并落实菩萨行。能够在有大善知识，并且遵循禅门宗风的道场修行，我感到非常荣幸。） 研经禅修班学员╱法胜 I am very grateful that Buddha Gate is once offering in-person, half-day retreats. The retreats give me a special time and place to practice my meditation without interruption from my normal life. It can be challenging to meditate daily at home, and the retreats give me a chance to renew my commitment to my practice. （我非常感恩佛门寺重启，再次举办实体半日禅修活动，让我可以在不受干扰的情况下专注用功。在家自己打坐实在不容易专注。在道场共修，重拾我精进修行的愿心。）
