親愛的護法善信與朋友們 Dear devotees & friends,
感謝大家踴躍參與我們慶祝第2570屆衛塞節的各項活動。我們希望您能從《大方廣佛華嚴懺法》中體會到各項核心教誨。以下是活動的結語省思：
「透過懺悔，我們淨化了過去。
透過慈悲，我們轉化了現在。
透過智慧，我們照亮了未來。
願一切眾生，皆能覺悟佛性。
Thank you all for participating in our various events in celebration of the 2570th Vesak Day. We hope you have received various key messages The Great and Vast Avatamsaka Repentance Ceremony. Here is a closing reflection:
“Through repentance, we cleanse the past.
Through compassion, we transform the present.
Through wisdom, we illuminate the future.
May all beings realise their Buddha-nature.”
盂蘭盆節 Ullambana Festival
佛教徒將盂蘭盆節視為充滿喜悅與孝道的月份，而非「餓鬼」之月。我們慶祝此節日是源於目犍連尊者的故事：他因深切的孝心，渴望將已故的母親從餓鬼道中救度出來。這段敘述詳載於《盂蘭盆經》中。
另一方面，《地藏菩薩本願功德經》完美地展現了普遍度化與救拔地獄眾生的精神。這部經典詳細記載了地藏菩薩的過去生，祂曾發下大願：「地獄不空，誓不成佛。」經中亦強調，若能以至誠恭敬之心，哪怕僅是誦讀或聽聞本經的一句一偈，皆具有消除過往業障的殊勝功德。
本寺將於2026年8月13日至9月5日期間，每日誦讀《地藏菩薩本願經》（唯逢星期日除外，當日將照常進行常規共修）。圓滿法會將於2026年9月6日舉行，以恭迎地藏王菩薩聖誕，屆時將特別施放《瑜伽焰口》。
Buddhists celebrate the Ullambana Festival as a month of joy and filial piety rather than a month of 'hungry ghosts'. We observe this festival based on the story of Maudgalyayana, who, moved by deep filial love, sought to rescue his deceased mother from the realm of hungry ghosts. This narrative is expounded in the Ullambana Sutra.
On the other hand, the spirit of universal salvation and hell-rescue is beautifully captured in the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra (地藏菩薩本願功德經). This sutra details the past lives of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who made the great vow: 'If the hells are not yet empty, I vow not to become a Buddha.' It also emphasizes the miraculous merits of redeeming past karma by reciting or hearing even a single phrase of this sutra with earnest reverence."
This year, we will recite the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra (誦讀地藏菩薩本願經) daily from 13 August to 5 September 2026 (except on Sundays, when we will continue with our regular prayers). The closing ceremony, which commemorates Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Birthday, will feature The Yogacara Ulka-mukha Dharma Service (施放瑜伽焰口) on 6 September 2026.
梁皇寶懺法會 The Emperor Liang Repentance Prayer Ceremony
此法會將於2026年10月29日至11月1日(農曆九月二十日至九月廿三日)舉行，以恭迎藥師佛聖誕，並圓滿上慧下觀老和尚圓寂五十週年紀念。《梁皇寶懺》被譽為佛教懺悔法門中「懺王」。此懺本乃梁武帝為其已故皇后郗氏所輯。郗氏生前因嫉妒與惡業，死後墮為巨蟒。憑藉禮拜此懺法所修集的殊勝功德，郗氏最終得以脫離惡道，超生天界。
修持本懺法能令信眾發露過往罪愆、淨化深重業障，並為生者及亡者培植廣大福德。對於生者而言，這更是一部消除障礙、改寫命運的至高改心指南。
因此，本寺院特設生者【受生功德】（消災延壽祿位），誠邀您與家人踴躍登記。將您親自虔誠參與此殊勝懺法之功德，與受生供養相結合，能有效償還前生宿債、化解現前障礙，為摯愛家人鋪就一條健康、富足與平安的順遂之路。現已開放報名。歡迎致電 6253 3532 或經由 WhatsApp 8950 1883 聯絡 Alice 或 Danny，亦可親臨本寺院洽詢。
This will be held to commemorate the birthday of Medicine Buddha and the 50th anniversary of the late Venerable Sek Whay Kuan from 29 October to 1 November 2026. The Emperor Liang Repentance Sutra (梁皇寶懺) is considered the supreme treasury of Buddhist repentance rituals. It was compiled during the Liang Dynasty by Emperor Wu for his deceased wife, Empress Chi Hui, who had been reborn as a giant python due to her jealousy and negative karma during her lifetime. Through the immense merit generated by practicing this repentance ritual, she was successfully liberated from the lower realms and ascended to the heavens.
Practicing this sutra allows devotees to acknowledge past wrongdoings, purify deep-seated karma, and cultivate vast merits for both the living and the deceased. For living beings, is also a supreme, life-changing guide for the living to dissolve obstacles and rewrite their destiny.
