Association of Pure Buddhist held Dharma lecture on March 21. Our teacher, Susan Duan, who gave speech of the sixth lecture of “Sutra of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva (the Sutra)” interpreted the Sutra by starting from”how Sakyamuni Buddha and Manjusri Bodhisattva give Dharma teaching to prove the Sutra of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva by incredible wisdom.” And she explained ”why does Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva have so wonderful merits and magnificent virtues which enable sentient beings to accumulate immeasurable merits by showing respect to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from the bottom of their hearts? It is due to the great vow made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the boundless past lives to liberate continuously all sentient beings from all sufferings of Samsara.” Teacher Susan Duan also instructed how to transform Buddhas’ and Bodhisattvas’ teachings into practicable methods in daily life. Meanwhile, by illustrating with the lively examples, the attendants’ hearts were all vibrated and exclaimed in wonderment that every mind in our daily life is the moment to practice and to plant the seed of attaining the happiness of liberty or leaving the sufferings of Samsara.

講座中，老師以「看重因地、發令己明白覺悟的願」勉勵大眾，圓滿本講說法。本講，老師闡述學法者應具備「信心」、「恭敬求法心」、「願心」，理上深闡，並應聽眾之根機，於事相上生動舉例，大眾聞法歡喜，期盼下一講趕快到來，能再學習到更多佛法智慧，以及與生活結合的方法。

Teacher Susan Duan rounded the lecture off by encouraging all attendants to “place high value on the cause and make a vow to become one with awareness and understanding.” During the lecture, Teacher Susan Duan also taught that Dharma cultivators should generate the confidence and the reverence to Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. And we should make the vows to save sentient beings from sufferings of Samsara. Adapted to attendants’ various capabilities, Teacher Susan Duan took vivid examples of life events so that every attendant learned Dharma joyfully and expected the coming of next lecture in order to learn more Dharma wisdom and methods in connection with their daily life.
