2023年中元/盂蘭法會：梁皇寶懺及地藏王菩薩瑜伽焰口

Ullambana Event: Emperor Liang Repentance & Ksitigarbha Bardo Deliverance Event

8/26/2023 六 Sat  -  9/03/2023 日 Sun

《地藏經》裡「覺林菩薩偈」云：

「若人欲了知。三世一切佛。應觀法界性。一切唯心造」。言簡意骸，心隨善業造天堂，心隨惡業造地獄。善念破地獄，惡念破法界，一切唯心所造、唯業所感、如夢如幻。是故，眾生若能止惡修善，清淨三業，並為自身及親屬禮懺、供養，必能離苦得樂，福慧增長。

法會殊勝，歡迎踴躍護持，共霑法益。

As mentioned in the“Juelin Bodhisattva verses” recorded in the Ksitigarbha Sutra: “If one wants to understand all Buddhas from the past, present, and the future, he should contemplate on the nature of the dharma realms – all is but the mind’s creation.” Simple enough that, good intention creates heaven, bad intention creates hell. Good karma destroys hell, bad karma destroys universe. All creations are triggered by one’s mind, all effects resulted from causes. Everything is a dream. If one stops wrongdoing & focuses on the good; purifies one’s speech, action & mind; practises repentance & offerings for family and one’s self, soon enough will be free from sufferings and gain improvement in life. 

The event is previous. Everyone is welcome to register and join.

Please send your registration to us. May everyone be blessed during the event.

Repentance has a powerful effect. It is beneficial to our ancestors, the unseen beings, as well as to repay our parents' loves or to deliver the wandering spirits. 

If dedicating the merits of repentance selflessly to the dharma world, one will get benefit in: 

1) Cleansing past sins, removing bad karma. 

2) Repaying fourfold kindness from above, free from suffering by listening to dharma. 

3) Resolving grievances & mediating conflicts, acquiring peace and happiness. 

4) Benefiting others, improving self merit & ceasing calamity. 

5) developing broad affinity, gaining help from benefactors.

Our temple greatly appreciates the Grandmaster's blessing and opportunity to help sentient beings discovering their wisdom and spirituality. We plead for GM to further stay in the saha world, to turn the dharma wheel, and to transform spirituality freely. The event is very beneficial, everyone is welcome to register.

二月初二 天下土地公聖誕千秋  Lunar 02/02 Global Earth Guardian's Birthday

--祭拜土地公/福德正神 Offering Ceremony

02/19/2023 日 Sun @ 1:30pm （預慶 Pre-Celebration）

大家可報名贊助供品，及金紙蓮花供養。無法親臨參與者，本寺也可代為奉請各家土地公蒞臨接受供養。Everyone is welcome to make donation for food and joss paper offerings. If you cannot attend the event personally, and need assistance to invite your Earth Guardians to come for the offerings, please let us know.

===================================

土地公又稱福德正神，是最接近世間的神祇之一。根本上師蓮生活佛盧勝彥常說：人活著能無所求，自然最好。如有所求，求土地公最易得感應。又說：修行須經過許多層次。未達無求境界者仍有所求並不奇怪。但要弄清楚：求土地公並不是去皈依祂。真佛宗弟子皈依的是根本上師蓮生活佛盧勝彥。最終是要成佛的。蓮生活佛盧勝彥又說土地公在世間的任務是「撥命」。人平日要多行善積福德，求土地公才會有效。一切一切仍是因果關係。不種善因，等於緣木求魚。這裡選出幾個蓮生活佛盧勝彥傳授跟土地公有關的改運招財密法來和大家分享。

Earth Guardian is also called Virtue/Merit God, is one of the Gods that are close to the human world. The Grand Master Living Buddha Liansheng Shengyan Lu always said: "The best way to live one's life is without strong desire. Otherwise, praying to the Earth Guardian is the fastest way to get your request fulfilled." He also said: "Practising Buddhism involves stages. Before reaching the undesirable stage, it is very common to have desires. But be clear that, praying to the Earth Guardian doesn't mean taking refuge under Him. The True Buddha School students are taking refuge under their Root Guru Living Buddha Liansheng Shengyan Lu. Because we, ultimately want to achieve Buddhahood." The GM further revealed that the main duty of the Earth Guardian was actually "Correcting/Fixing Fate". A person has to do good deeds, accumulate merits, maintain morality righteousness, etc. in order to receive a response from the Earth Guardian. Therefore, everything still binds by the "Law of Karma". Without accumulating merits, the prayer is pointless. The below "Fate Correction" methods involving Earth Guardian were taught by the GM: 

方法一：祭拜四方土地公的招財法

Method 1: Pray to the Four Directional Earth Guardians for Prosperity

城頭城尾都有土地公，到底要怎麼拜土地公才會得到最大的加持力？在此蓮生活佛盧勝彥提供一個拜土地神的方法讓大家參考，這個祭拜土地神的方法，是由蓮生活佛盧勝彥所傳授殊勝的法稱做「四方增益法」。

因為每一個人都有靈性，如果你的靈性和東方的土地公靈性相合，就拜東方的土地公，靈性與那一方的土地公相合，就拜那一方的土地公，這就是「四方增益法」。

假如沒有廟，只要朝自己合適的方向，一心虔誠合掌拜拜，用香、花、水果、糖祭拜，或用飯菜供奉也可以。金紙方面可以四方金、如意金、七佛金合燒，效應更大。土地公雖然是小神小靈，但與人非常親近，確實能幫助人，非常靈驗。

有人傳說，土地公可以幫助人家發財，說大富人家的家門，總有好幾位白鬍子老公公，日夜搬金銀珠寶入門，你若尊敬土地公，土地公也會幫助你，總會讓你的運氣好些，無病無痛，多福多壽。

(詳情參閱：【四方增益法】- 蓮生活佛盧勝彥文集第41冊─第三眼世界)

Every human being possesses spirituality. If your spirituality matches with the East side Earth Guardian, you pray to that particular direction. Which said, choose a direction that matches with your spirituality, then pray to that Directional Earth Guardian. This is called Four Directional Enrichment Method.

If there is no temple at your favorable direction to go for the prayer, you can do your prayer by setting up a shrine or put palms together facing that direction. Offering items can be incense, flowers, fruits, candies or hot meal. Joss paper wise, you can choose four directional joss (四方金), wish granting joss (如意金), seven Buddhas joss (七佛金), these selections can generate greater response. Even though the Earth Guardian is a lower level God in the spiritual world, but He is close to the human world and truly can benefit the life of a human being, very responsive as well.

There was a saying that: The Earth Guardian can help you to gain fortune. Outside the door of the wealthy people, there are always several old men with long white beard, moving treasures into the house days and nights. If you pay respect to the Earth Guardian, He will help you by fixing your luck, your health here and there, securing your happiness and your longevity too.

(More details please refer to the article : "Four Directional Enrichment Method" - GM book collections Vol. 41- The World of the Third Eye)

方法二：持安土地真言：南摩三滿哆。母馱喃。嗡。度嚕。度嚕。地尾。梭哈。

(開示參閱：【改變命運的法術】- 蓮生活佛盧勝彥文集第114冊─密教的法術)

Method 2: Recite the Earth Guardian Mantra

"Namo San Man Do. Mu Do Nan. Om. Dulu Dulu. Di Wei. Soha."

(More details please refer to the article : "The Spiritual Method to Change Fate" - GM book collections Vol. 114 The Spiritual Practices of the Tantrism.)

正月初九 玉皇誕  Lunar 01/09 Heavenly Lord's Birthday

--拜天公、供佛齋天  Grand Offering Ceremony

1/29/2023 日 Sun @ 10am （預慶 Pre-Celebration）

為求消災祈福，在農曆年“拜天公”本為中國習俗表達敬神畏天之意。佛教東傳後，眾生則依據《金光明經》的「供佛齋天」禮拜供養佛、法、僧三寶，為生人求福，並感念諸天護法功德。

《金光明經》載：諸天於「金光明會」上時，於佛前發菩提心，護持佛教，奉行正法，修諸善業，不做惡行；諸天也遵照佛陀的囑咐，巡行人間，以慈悲心輔助有德的人，提攜修道者圓滿佛果，因此諸天又叫護法龍天。

齋天所供養之二十四諸天介紹：二十四諸天是漢傳佛教中的二十四位護法、也稱作“諸天鬼神”。 由二十諸天增加四位神祇而來。

二十四諸天分別列在大雄寶殿兩側、供奉順序分別是：1. 功德天、2. 辯才天、3. 大梵天、4. 帝釋天、5~8. 四大天王、9. 日神、10. 月神、11. 金剛密跡力士、12. 摩醯首羅天、13. 散脂大將、14. 韋陀天、15. 堅牢地神、16. 菩提樹神、17. 鬼子母、18. 摩利支天、19. 婆竭羅龍王、20. 閻摩羅王、21. 緊那羅王、22. 紫微大帝、23. 東嶽大帝、24. 雷神。

This Heavenly Lord grand offering ceremony is preforming to the Twenty-Four Protective Deities or the Twenty-Four Devas. The group has Twenty Protective Deities or the Twenty Devas, and others spiritual guardians. They are dharmapalas who are defenders of the Buddhist dharma. The group consists of devas, naga kings, vajra-holders and other beings, mostly borrowed from Hinduism with some borrowed from Taoism.

The list of deities consist of 1. Lakshmi, 12. Maheśvara (Shiva), 3. Brahma, 4. Indra, 2. Saraswati, 5~8. Four Heavenly Kings, 9. Surya, 10. Chandra, 11. Guhyapāda, 13. Pañcika, 14. Skanda, 15. Prthiv, 16. Spirit of the Bodhi Tree, 17. Hārītī, 18. Mārīcī, 19. Sāgara, 20. Yama, 21. Kinnara King, 22. Emperor Zi Wei, 23. Emperor Dongyue and 24. Thunder God

清潔道場及壇城 Temple & Shrine Cleaning Days

1/7/2023 六 Sat &  1/8/2023 日Sun  @ 10:00am

《根本說一切有部毗奈耶雜事》中記載：「凡掃地者，有五勝利，一者自心清淨；二者令他心清淨；三者諸天歡喜；四者植端正業；五者命終之後當生天上。」

掃地打掃清潔之人，有五種功德：

第一、喜歡掃地之人，自己的內心是清淨沒有煩惱的。我們修行，消除煩惱從搞衛生開始。

第二、喜歡掃地之人，可以讓他人心地清淨沒有煩惱。

第三、護法天神都會喜愛清潔之人。

第四、喜歡清潔的人，來世會長的漂亮端正。

第五、喜歡掃地之人，死後當生天上。

不僅僅是掃地，生活處處是道場，洗洗衣服、清潔房間、清理灰塵、整理寺院佛經等等都是具足以上五種功德善果的。

乾淨舒適的環境除了能使自己身心清淨、消除煩惱外，也能利益眾生，令他人愉悅；為寺院的僧眾清潔衛生，更能讓我們培植福報資糧，功德不可思議。

According to Vinaya Piṭaka Sutra*, "person who does the cleaning, gained five benefits. 1. inner purification; 2. purify others; 3. please the heaven beings; 4. gain positive karma; 5. ascend to heaven at the end of life."

1) Inner purification: person who enjoys cleaning found inner peace easily. As a Buddhist practitioner, we should start our practice by cleaning up the environment.

2) Purify others: person who enjoyed cleaning provides peacefulness to others. 

3) Please the heaven beings: Dharmapalas, gods and goddesses enjoy providing guidance to people with good hygiene. 

4) Gain positive karma: cleaning will reduce our negative energy as well as gain us attractive appearance in the future life.

5) Ascend to heaven at the end of life: person who enjoyed cleaning will be entering into the heaven at the end of life.

Practice cleanliness everyday and everywhere. Eventually your will find peacefulness within yourself as well as providing serenity to other sentient beings. 

*Vinaya Pitaka Sutra (Pāli and Sanskrit: “Basket of Discipline”), the oldest and smallest of the three sections of the Buddhist canonical Tipiṭaka (“Triple Basket”) and the one that regulates monastic life and the daily affairs of monks and nuns according to rules attributed to the Buddha.
