美國佛門寺半日禪修活動文／美國佛門寺提供  隨著疫情趨緩，佛門寺恢復實體禪修活動，於一百一十二年七月九日上午，舉辦半日禪修，學員秉持歡喜感恩之心，齊聚一堂，萬緣放下，精進用功。 禪修活動期間，全程禁語攝心。學員報到後，複習基本行儀、恭誦《心經》，於三支香當中，坐香、行慢香，體會「行亦禪、坐亦禪」，練習處處隨順覺性，時時堅住正念。住持法師於靜坐中開示「客塵主空」的道理，勉勵學員老實觀照自己的念頭，作自己覺性的主人，不被塵勞妄想所覆，才是真正的自在。 學員們體會到禪修的殊勝利益，期許能將此體驗落實於日常生活中，並將這份法喜分享給更多的有緣大眾。 法會心得 護法會會長╱傳洵 在莊嚴清淨的禪堂裡，心沉靜了許多，師父開示「客塵主空」的道理，我體會到這念心能作主不動、清楚明白，就能見性，禪修定心是很重要的修行功課。 半日禪時間非常短，心才稍沉澱些就已結束，但也是忙碌現代人最佳禪修入門。期許自己要把握每一支香的因緣，落實解行並重。 護法會副會長╱傳惇 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. （住持法師開示「客塵主空」的譬喻，使我意識到，自己每天都活在無數塵勞妄想之中。唯有透過修行和靜坐，才能覺察和去除妄境。這個體悟帶給我一種解脫和平靜，至今仍在我心中持續著。這也再度提醒了我禪修的重要性，有善知識引導，禪修才能有較深刻的體會，使我修行有所進步，對此我深深感恩。） 研經禪修班學員╱傳諳 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. （有時我會困在徒勞的妄想模式中，半日禪正是讓我重新找到自己清淨心的絕佳機會。即使時間很短暫，半日禪的體驗鼓勵我以佛法的真理面對挑戰，並落實菩薩行。能夠在有大善知識，並且遵循禪門宗風的道場修行，我感到非常榮幸。） 研經禪修班學員╱法勝 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. （我非常感恩佛門寺重啟，再次舉辦實體半日禪修活動，讓我可以在不受干擾的情況下專注用功。在家自己打坐實在不容易專注。在道場共修，重拾我精進修行的願心。）
