今年的中元法會距離上次的中元法會已時隔三年(因為新冠疫情)，所以大家都十分歡喜能有機會來參加。
It has been three years to hold Dharma Assembly of the Zhongyuan Festival of this year since the last one (Due to the epidemic of Covid-19), everyone was very happy to have the opportunity to participate.

老師前一天親自為我們備辦法會供花，示範了「做」、「行」
The day before the Dharma Assembly, the Teacher, Susan Duan, prepared the offering flowers of the Dharma Assembly for us in person, demonstrating "doing" and "action".
中華清淨學佛協會希望於新冠疫情期間，對我們的家園與同胞盡一份微薄之力，經過協會創始人段老師的提議，第2屆第7次理監事聯席會議通過，對開會當時以救助新冠疫情相關內容為主旨的捐款專戶，並且仍開放捐款的地方政府單位，進行下列捐款，共計十二個縣市，共新台幣210,000元。新北市、桃園市、苗栗縣、基隆市、彰化縣、台中市、高雄市、花蓮縣、台南市、新竹市、雲林縣、嘉義縣。
The Association of Pure Buddhist (APB) hoped to do our best to our homeland and fellow citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the proposal of the founder of the APB, the Teacher, Susan Duan, the 7th Meeting of the 2th board of directors and supervisors passed a resolution to make donations to the following local government accounts which were designated for COVID-19 prevention and still open to accept donation at the meeting date. We donated to the following 12 counties and cities, and the total amount of donation was NTD210,000.
今年5月1日全員研習，同學們原已計畫在研習後，為老師---我們法上的母親歡慶母親節，然而研習前兩天，因為新冠疫情突然變化，老師為了保護我們的安全，將研習改為線上進行。感恩老師讓我們在動盪不安的環境下，仍有難得機會聽聞佛法正見，我們原本預計在課程尾聲獻上的大合唱與卡片、鮮花，依著老師一直以來教導我們的「認識、接受、回應因緣」，飛快地化做一張張寫給法上的母親的小卡。深深感恩老師的教導與呵護，祝福我們親愛的老師，身體健康，佛行事業圓滿順利，所願皆成，母親節快樂，每一天快樂！老師，我們愛您～
本次清明法會，老師帶領大家以恭敬殷重的心，持誦《佛説阿彌陀經》，迴向給全世界因為新冠疫情而往生或遭受病苦的眾生、因太魯閣號出軌事故而往生或受傷的同胞們，以及與會者的先人、往生親友。
In this Dharma Assembly during the Tomb-Sweeping Festival, the Teacher, Susan Duan, led everyone to chant the “The Amitabha Sutra” with respect and gratitude and dedicated the merits to all beings all over the world who died or suffered from the COVID-19 epidemic, the compatriots who died or were injured in the Taroko train derailment accident, as well as the attendants’ ancestors, deceased relatives and friends.
2021年開春法會，在老師帶領下，眾人一起在觀世音菩薩為主尊的壇城道場中，恭誦「般若波羅蜜多心經」及持誦「千手千眼無礙大悲心陀羅尼」、觀世音菩薩聖號。誦經前，老師先簡短的開示心經的精華重點，所謂的空並不是什麼都沒有的斷滅空，而是讓我們知道因為萬事萬物都在因緣變化之中，所以不要因為暫時得不到或失去，而感到痛苦煩惱，也不要因為得到，就視為理所當然而不知珍惜。大眾就在這樣的認知下，展開了殊勝的誦經過程。
為慶祝清淨教室七週年、清淨學佛協會四週年，11月28日我們在協會書房舉辦了《大方廣佛華嚴經：淨行品、梵行品、普賢行願品》誦經法會，老師帶領我們以歡喜丶恭敬心進行誦經丶持聖號，沐浴在佛法的智慧溫暖中。
To celebrate the 7th anniversary of the Pure Classroom and the 4th anniversary of the Association of Pure Buddhist (APB), we held a Dharma Assembly of chanting the three chapters of “Avatamsaka Sutra”: “Pure Conduct, Brahma Conduct and Discourse on Samantabhadra's Beneficence Aspirations” in the APB Study on November 28. The Teacher, Susan Duan, led us to chant the Sutra and holy name with joy and respect, immersing in the warmth of the wisdom from Dharma.
在新冠疫情持續的狀態下，我們感恩仍能有俱足因緣請老師帶領我們持誦《地藏菩薩本願經》，進行一場殊勝的中元法會，為世界祈福，並迴向亡者及鬼道眾生。而且這是我們在今年初完成了之前一共十九次講座，學完了整本《地藏菩薩本願經》之後，第一次共同誦經，大家格外珍惜與感動。
這幾個月因為新冠疫情，協會教室相關課程都改為線上進行，大家都很感謝即使在這樣的世界動盪不安的時刻，仍能聽聞老師線上授法，也更珍惜這樣難得的學法福報。今年母親節前夕，剛好適逢線上上課，老師特地帶領我們持誦《大方廣佛華嚴經》〈淨行品〉，將功德迴向給天下所有的母親，以及所有六道有情眾生，老師說，其實在無量劫裡，眾生都做過我們的母親啊。
In recent months, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the studies of the Classroom and Association have been changed to be held online. Everyone is so grateful that we can still hear the Teacher, Susan Duan, teaching the Dharma online in these turbulent times, and we treasure such a precious blessing of learning the Dharma more. On the eve of Mother's Day this year, it happened to be the online study, the Teacher specially led us to chant the“Pure Conduct" of the “Avatamsaka Sutra” to return the merits to all mothers in the world and all sentient beings in the six realms. The Teacher said that in fact, in an infinite number of eons, all beings had been our mothers.
協會成立以來，第一次採取線上法會的方式，以讓眾人不受新冠肺炎疫情的影響，還能夠在老師的帶領下得到集體持誦《佛說阿彌陀經》的功德利益。誦經完成後，當老師親自念誦著同學大德們想要迴向的往生親友名字時，我們感受到了老師的聲音及話語中滿滿的溫暖與力量，覺得被老師念誦到名字的往生親友們都真的得到阿彌陀佛的接引，到了極樂淨土，得到清淨安樂，再也沒有痛苦了。深深感恩老師！
Since the founding of the Association, for the first time, the method of online Assembly was adopted to protect everyone from the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and enable everyone to obtain the merits and benefits of collective chanting of “The Amitabha Sutra” under the leading of the Teacher, Susan Duan. After the chanting was completed, when the Teacher read the names of the deceased relatives and friends whom the students and attendants wanted to dedicate the merits to, we received the warmth and strength in the Teacher ’s voice and words, feeling that the deceased whose names were read by the Teacher really got the guidance of the Amitabha and went to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. They got pure peace, and there was no more pain. We really deeply touched and were so grateful to the Techer!
本次開春法會，老師在帶領我們誦經前，特別囑咐我們看看這次法會壇城上，因為新冠狀病毒疫情，暫時不開放眾人擺放飲食供養，我們應該從來沒料想過，有一天竟然會沒有做供養的機會，藉此思惟世間法的因緣無常，而發起珍重心來參加此日的法會。
In this Dharma Assembly at the Beginning of Spring, the Teacher, Susan Duan, specially guided us to take a look at the Mandala before leading us to chant the Sutra; due to the epidemic of 2019-nCov, the Association temporarily closed the setting up of food offering by the audience. Before this, we should never have expected that one day there would be no chance for making offerings, by this chance, we should reflect on the impermanence of things in the world originated from the karma and then initiate the mentality of treasuring to attend this Dharma Assembly.
感恩三寶加持，感恩協會創辦人段貞夙老師教導及帶領我們，讓我們能在協會各項活動事務中修行，以真切的心，踏實地走在弘法利生的菩提道上，感到無比歡喜。謝謝理監事的踴躍參與，第2屆第2次理監事聯席會議圓滿順利！
Thanks for the blessing from the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Thanks for APB’s founder, Teacher Susan Duan, keeping teaching and leading us so that we can practice Dharma through various activities and events held by the Association. We could then, with sincere heart, firmly walk on the path to enlightenment to propagate the Dharma and benefit sentient beings and feel great happiness. Thanks for the enthusiastic participation of directors and supervisors. The 2nd meeting of second board of directors and supervisors was held smoothly and successfully!
