今年很庆幸，能夠再次邀請到澳洲悉尼華藏寺住持【能融法师】通過視頻于香大家卫塞节做简短的开示。

由於疫情關係，【能融法师】自去年十一月起至今开啟主持每星期兩次的網上共修会：誦经，靜坐，佛学及迴向? 連續澳洲及馬來西亞兩地的佛缘，讓大家獲益不浅? 感謝法師！

祝大家【衛塞節】快樂！

We were very fortunate to be able to once again invite the Abbess of the Hwa Tsang Monastery in Sydney, Australia, 【Venerable Neng Rong】 to deliver a short video Dhamma Talk on this Wesak Day.

As a result of the pandemic, 【Venerable Neng Rong】 organizes twice a week the ZOOM Group Practice since last November: chanting, meditation, dhamma and sharing of merits. The ongoing Dhamma relationship between Australia and Malaysia has benefited a lot. Thank you, Venerable!

May everyone have a very happy 【Wesak Day】!

2021衛塞節致詞

非常感謝詒偉同學的邀請, 要我在佛誕日為大家說幾句話. 在此, 謹代表上藏下慧導師祝大家衛塞節快樂.

去年衛塞節正值疫情爆發時期, 今年的衛塞節疫情還未完了, 一波又波, 似乎無有了期. 病毒, 再加上政治的鬥爭, 天災人禍, 這樣的世界, 令人感到擔憂頹喪, 茫然不安, 未來會是怎樣呢?

在這樣的世界裡, 我們要如何找到清涼與理想, 讓我們有動力, 樂觀積極的活下去呢? 唯有佛陀的智慧與慈悲能帶給我們光明與溫暖, 讓我們在這混亂的世間把握方向, 看清人生的意義, 平靜的面對周遭的一切事物, 努力的利用每一天, 提升自己, 利益他人.

佛陀的誕生與成道給我們帶來指引, 樹立了模範. 佛陀留下了佛法讓我們有依循的修行方法, 並成立僧團, 讓佛法能一代一代的傳遞下去. 佛法僧三寶讓今天的我們亦有機會聽聞佛法, 有得度的因緣.

在佛誕之日, 我們無限感懷佛陀的智慧與恩德. 我們要好好憶念佛陀的教誨, , 藉著法水洗滌我們得身心, 發願生生世世向三寶學習, 護持正法.

佛陀的教法提醒我們世間的一切是無常的, 不斷在變化中. 我們要有耐心, 努力的培養善的因緣條件, 在無常流中, 隨順因果法則讓它變得更好.

我們的身心亦是無常的, 我們不要停留在頹喪憂慮中, 我們要掌握現有的精神與體力, 積極啟發智慧, 培養善業與慈悲, 給我們為今生來世種下學佛的善根與福德資糧. 無論世界變化得如何, 我們都要時時與三寶同在, 努力向佛學習.

要培養樂觀積極的人生觀, 時時活在三寶的光明溫暖中, 我們要奠定以下基礎:

1. 正信三寶

a. 對三寶有正確的了解與信心

b. 內心深處誠懇的接納, 歸敬三寶, 念念不忘三寶, 以三寶為我們的楷模與指引.

2. 鞏固正見

a. 清楚明白如何分辨善惡, 深信因果

b. 了解無常緣起的道理.

3. 斷惡修善

a. 以堅定的毅力把正見落實在生活中.

b. 我們要遵循佛陀的教誡, 持戒布施, 保持良好的道德與善良的行為, 行善培福.

4. 培養耐心, 平靜身心

a. 在這不安的時期, 耐心尤其重要. 煩躁不安, 於事無補. 唯有隨順因緣培養正確的條件, 耐心的等待因緣的成熟.

b. 我們要掌握時間, 多聽聞佛法, 誦經念佛, 修學靜坐, 將自己安住於三寶中, 使身心安詳.

在這佛陀聖誕吉祥之日, 願大家奠定對三寶的信念, 莫忘佛陀的恩德, 努力學習佛陀的教誨, 把握正見, 自利利他, 天天生活在三寶的光明中.

更祈願三寶加被, 疫情早日平息, 風調雨順, 人心安寧, 世界和平.

2021 Vesak Day Speech

Thank you very much for inviting me to say a few words during the Vesak celebration. On behalf of Venerable Tsang Hui, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Vesak Day.

Last year's Vesak was suspended due to the outbreak of Covid-19. This year, the pandemic is not yet over. Wave after wave, it seems that there is no ending. Viruses, coupled with political conflicts and violence, the world is full of natural and human-made disasters. This makes people feel worried, depressed, confused, and disturbed. What will the future be like?

In such a world, how can we find calmness and goals? So that we have the motivation to live optimistically and positively? Only the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha can bring us brightness and warmth. Helping us to find the direction in this chaotic world, understand the significance of life, and be able to face challenges around us calmly, strive diligently in improving ourselves and benefiting others.

The birth of the Buddha and his enlightenment gave us guidance. The Buddha has set an example for us. He is our role model. The Buddha shared with us what he has realized. He taught us the Dharma, allowed us to know the methods of practice. The Buddha also formed the Sangha order so that the Dharma can be passed down from generation to generation. It is with the Triple Gems, the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, that we can know the teachings of the Buddha today, and can practice and end suffering.

On this special day of the Buddha, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Buddha for his wisdom and compassion. We should always remember the Buddha’s teachings, purify our body and mind. Make vow to be with the Triple Gems in every of our lives, and always uphold and protect the righteous teachings of the Buddha.

The Buddha’s teachings remind us that everything in the world is impermanence and constantly changing. We must be patient and work hard in cultivating wholesome causes and conditions in accordance with the law of cause and effect. So that, in the flow of impermanence, we can gradually create a better future.

Our body and mind are also impermanent. We should not stay in mourning and worries. We should value the present health and energy we have, diligently do good deeds, cultivate compassion and wisdom. In this way, we plant the seeds and merits for continuous learning of the Buddha Dharma in all future. No matter how the world changes, we must always be with the Triple Gems, actively learning the Buddha’s teachings.

To develop an optimistic and positive outlook on life, and to live in the brightness and warmth of Triple Gems, we must establish the following foundations:

1. Right Faith in the Triple Gems

a. Have good confidence in the Triple Gems.

b. Sincerely respect and remember the Triple Gems deep in our heart. Always look upon the Triple Gems as our guide and role model.

2. Strengthen our Right Understanding.

a. Be clear onhow to distinguish between good and evil and believe in the law of cause and effect.

b. Understand the truth of impermanence and teaching of dependent origination.

3. Refrain from Unwholesomeness and Cultivate Wholesomeness.

a. We need to be determined in putting the Right Understanding into practice.

b. We should follow the Buddha’s advice, uphold the precepts, practice generosity, uphold good morals and conducts, and cultivate wholesome deeds.

4. Be Patience and Calm.

a. Patience is especially important in this troubled time. Agitation does not help. We need to be persistence in cultivating the right causes and conditions, patiently waiting for the effect to mature.

b. We should make full use of our time to listen to the Dharma, recollect the virtues of the Buddha and practice meditation. Always live under the guidance of the Triple Gems, so that our bodies and minds are always calm and at peace.

On this auspicious day of the Buddha, may everyone strengthen your faith and confidence in the Triple Gems. Do not forget the Buddha's kindness. Put effort into learning and practicing the Buddha’s teachings, establish firm Right Understanding, and live in the light of the Triple Gems every day. May the blessings of the Triple Gems be always upon everyone, may the pandemic ceases soon, may all be well and tranquil, may the world be peaceful.

Wishing everyone a Happy Vesak Day. Thank you.
