中華清淨學佛協會

協會於107年8月19日舉辦中元法會持誦《地藏菩薩本願經》。一始，老師鼓勵我們在誦經的過程中，好好體會地藏菩薩的大願深廣，身為凡夫的我們雖然難以企及，但我們至少可以發願先度自己這個眾生、發願幫助自己解脫煩惱。當我們自己煩惱漸輕，自然也就能散發好的能量給身旁的眾生。

The Association of Pure Buddhist(APB) held the Dharma Assembly of the Zhongyuan Festival (Ghost Festival) of chanting “Sutra of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva (the Sutra)” on August 19, 2018. At the beginning, the Teacher encouraged us to experience the depth and breadth of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s great wishes with heart in the process of chanting. Although it’s hard for us mortal to attain the state of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, we at least can make vows to deliver ourselves and help ourselves get rid of troubles. When our vexations are lessened, we can naturally radiate positive energy to the beings around us.

於是，眾人帶著這樣的安穩心態，一同持誦經文，過程中，協會書房充盈了堅定篤實的朗朗誦經聲。最後我們也將本日的誦經功德廻向給近日往生的老師母親、理事長父親永離惡道，往生極樂世界，也祝福在場眾人及其眷屬，乃至所有六道眾生離苦得樂，早證菩提。

Therefore, everyone chanted the Sutra with peace of minds together, in the course of chanting, the APB study was filled with firm chanting. In the end, we dedicated all the merits of chanting the Sutra today to the Teacher’s mother and the Board Director‘s father who passed away in recent days and hoped them never fall into the three lower realms and go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. We also blessed the attendants of the Dharma Assembly and their families, and even all the beings of six realms to be free from sufferings, gain true happiness, and fulfill the accomplishment of Bodhisattva early.
