Wishing all devotees a blessed Vesak Day!

In normal times, devotees would gather in temples to pray and present offerings. While some temples are open this year, COVID-19 precautions remain in place to protect devotees. Glad that the Singapore Buddhist Federation新加坡佛教总会 also organised a live stream for devotees.

Even if you can’t visit a temple, I hope you continue to practise the virtues of Buddha: kindness, patience, generosity and compassion. This is something the world needs more of, especially during this pandemic. – LHL

今年的卫塞节，因为疫情的关系，佛教徒只能以其他方式纪念释迦牟尼佛的诞辰、成道和涅槃。希望各位善男信女省思佛法和行善之际， 照顾自己和他人的健康和安全，过个有意义的卫塞节。– 李显龙

冉齡軒議員會在議會殿堂談那麼看起來搞笑的言談，其實富有意涵，我們都希望自己人生在世順順利利，死時也能自然有尊嚴～
而不是死後被匆忙地辦喪事，隨意的被處理完畢，我們都應該認真看待死亡。

冉議員平時都有學習佛法，吸收不同的經典，過去也在求學時期也修過『生死學』，所以只是希望民政局生命禮儀管理處下的台中各個殯儀館在接觸案例時，都能讓遺體保有最後的尊嚴，善待大體、尊重生命！

未來冉議員也希望臺灣引進『冰葬』技術，為環保增進一份心。
在此謝謝各方的指教，冉議員往後會再持續努力，如有不足之處請多加海涵！ 感恩有您～

【新加坡】光明山普觉禅寺是新加坡最大的佛寺，建设大部分以中央南北轴线为基准，并参照19与20世纪初的中国南方传统建筑风格建造而成。

普觉禅寺的建筑设计也具有中国古代宫殿的建筑特色，其中以金碧辉煌的屋顶及建筑与浮雕的结合视为经典例证。由于受民间传统文化与宗教的影响，寺院中也可见飞天、天龙、狮子等陶瓷雕像与浮雕墙。

几天前重访普觉禅寺，以前总是来去匆匆，这次则驻足细细参观，我发现寺内长廊上的“二十四孝”浮雕非常生动有趣，而佛寺中有不少匾额是由中国已故佛教领袖、著名书法家赵朴初先生所写。

当然，普觉禅寺中还有一颗菩提树很值得人们观看，它的幼苗来自斯里兰卡神圣的菩提树。当年佛教创始人释迦牟尼就是在这棵菩提树下悟出了真理，为无数众生找到了脱离生死轮回的真谛。

此外，我国不少德高望重的法师，如宏船法师、演培法师等皆曾出任普觉禅寺住持。小弟因参与新加坡种族、宗教和谐工作，因而有幸与现任住持广声法师结缘，他和广品法师（新加坡佛教总会会长）皆为宏船法师的弟子。

寺里一片清幽，没有半点索求物质的喧嚣声，是俗人在闹市中，寻找内心平静的一个好去处，也是僧侣们参修佛法的好地方。

但我也相信，只要诚心想要参悟，处处皆佛寺，每一刻都有可能领悟到人生真理。🙏

父母病重，你帶他們到急症室。
他們馬上入院並開刀，現在長期吃藥
你已做了你該做的事情。
現在你還能為他們做什麼呢？
聽聽我和我先生為他父母，如何修功德迴向。

Your parents fell very sick.
You brought them to A&E.
They were warded immediately and underwent an operation.
Now they are on constant medication.
You have done what is expected of you.
What else can you do for them?

Here's what my husband and I did for his parents.

【旅遊籽：浪迹遊蹤】
走在大街上，只見夜總會的霓虹燈閃爍，後巷微弱的燈光迷離，性用品商店與按摩店傳來輕佻的音樂，與新加坡循規蹈矩的形象反差極大。這裏是芽籠，被形容為新加坡的合法紅燈區。然而這裏是宗教場所集中地，儼如佛教大本營，不同流派的佛教組織都落戶在此，包括新加坡佛教總會。

《果籽》 栽種品味，一籽了然。

衛塞節是紀念大聖佛陀救度眾生，貢獻於我們一切眾生的一種精神。
在這殊勝的日子，我們應該如何報佛恩呢？

懺悔就是要還淨，洗滌妳你的罪言。猶如一件很骯髒的衣服，千萬不要錯過一個這麼好，能夠洗滌我們業障的大好法緣。
衛塞節是我們佛教教主的日子。祂是大慈大悲的，祂一定能夠放光照我們，洗掉我們的業障，還能夠增加我們的福德跟功德。非常非常殊勝！

浴佛時，要觀想，我們外在淋在浴佛的淨水，也流入我們身心，我們累世的惡業化爲黑煙黑氣，從我們身上八萬四千個毛細孔散發出去。我們的業障不只一世而已，而是很多很多世了。

玳瑚師父在此祝所有讀者粉絲們衛塞節快樂。?

Vesak Day commemorates the Great Sage Lord Buddha and His spirit of contribution to all sentient beings. On this auspicious day, what can we do to repay the Buddha's great kindness?

Repentance is to return to your original pure nature, to be cleansed of your sins. It is like washing a very dirty piece of clothes.

Do not miss this good opportunity to cleanse our karmic hindrances.
Vesak Day is the day of Lord Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. His compassion is all all encompassing and His Light will illuminate us and cleanse us of our negative karma as well as increase our merits. What an auspicious day!

Remember this when you bath the Buddha's statue. Even as the water runs down the statue externally, the pure water also cleanse our inner self of negative karma accumulated over many lifetimes. These become black smoke and emits from the eighty-four thousand pores all over our body. We are then cleansed of karmic hindrances, not just from this lifetime but from many many previous lives. We used to be regal-looking and not like what we are now.

Master Dai Hu wishes all my fans and readers a Happy and Blessed Vesak Day. ?
