世間所有我盡見 一切無有如仏者
又是五月月圓日--佛誕節了，此乃佛教界上下的年度隆重慶典之一，各個寺院佛團都為紀念人天導師的降生、成道及涅磐的大好日子。
自皈依正信三寶（佛法僧）之後，此佛歷2556年的佛誕節乃是我第七個年頭以正式的佛教徒身份慶祝。感謝龍天三寶護持，能走過七年學仏之路，心靈也一直在提升。
佛誕前夕，如往常地到寺院進行共修早課與浴佛法要。除了母親之外，今年多了幾位一同學習的中學佛友。^^
回歸根本寺院--洪福寺，只見人頭鑽動。昔日的清靜菩提蘭若，此時即湧入無數善男信女向尊貴的仏陀祈福。久違的老法師依然健壯，帶領大衆禮佛。搭衣展具，鐘鼓齊鳴，唱誦寳鼎讚，突然之間，很懷念當初的叢林生活、晨鐘暮鼓。蘭若的生活都很有規律，期許有一天能再回去掛單，受持戒行。
在早課囘向裏頭，有句 將此身奉塵刹，是則名為報仏恩。 每次頌起都很震撼人心，身為仏子，我報恩了嗎？只有不斷不斷地付出，在塵澇中作清流 -- 仏法在世間，不離世間覺。四重恩，仏陀教化恩、父母養育恩、國家安樂恩、衆生成就恩，一切的一切，相互成就。
浴佛儀的當下，潺潺的香湯徐徐的灌向太子像。每一勺的香湯都承載著對自己的期許，從清淨身語意到四宏願，希望一切都能入心、入行。
佛誕當天，與一班的佛友一起行腳檳島的各大傳承寺院。不得不提的是近代有賴於學佛年輕化，佛誕慶典也可以那麽YOUNG。寳譽堂菩提之家便是其一，除了有互動的佛法分享會，還有戲劇等。學佛青年們個個都洋溢著法的喜悅^^
2556年的佛誕，是法喜的。感謝一切佛友法親的互相學習。期許 法味甚濃、法情亦堅。
更期望在學佛的道路上能步步提升，往清淨的佛性走去。
It's the Full Moon season ---Wesak Day again^^
Wesak day falls on every 15th lunar calendar of May. In memory of Gotama Buddha's Birth, Enlightenment and Parinirvana.
In Buddhist Calendar, it's already Year 2556. Fellows monastery and Buddhist organization held the celebration of this precious moment. For me, it's the 7th year of celebrating wesak since after taking my refuge from the Triple Gem ( Buddha, Dharma and Sangha).
As usual, I'll celebrate start from the eve. Visitation to Ang Hock See Temple is a must for me^^. So i went with my mom and this year with fellow dharma pals as well. We perform the Morning Service and also the buddha-cleansing ceremony.The chanting held by the Sangha members was mind soothen. We pray to hope for a better world and also to reflecting our mind in Buddha path. In one of the sentence in the morning service : Giving out yourself to the world is one of the way to show your gratitude to the Buddha(brief translation) given me a huge impact. I was thinking am i really give myself out?( in caring and helping especially providing nursing care). Anyhow it is a must for a buddhism practitioner to pay gratitude to the four authority : The Buddha for teaching wisdom to us, The Parents for taking care of us, The Country(not rulers XD) which providing us the land and lastly all sentient being for making us stronger in buddha path.
During the Buddha cleansing ceremony, we pour the scented water onto the buddha statue. The rationale of doing that is to cleanse and purify our Speech , Mind and Action which may be the root of Karma.
On the actual day, i'd stand a chance to visit major Mahayana and Theravada monastery. Glad to see that some organization is practicing Buddhism in the younger way so that more youngster will joining in.
Anyhow, I feel contented yet filled with Dharma Joy in this Wesak. Thanks to fellow Dharma Pals for supporting each other in the Path.
* May this Joy of Dharma being transfer to All sentient being. Maha Sadhu ^^
