中華清淨學佛協會

為因應新冠肺炎疫情，保護大眾減少路途往返、群聚過程，即日起，相關研習、清明法會，皆將改採以開設LINE群組線上通話方式進行。

每週五晚上週間禪修亦暫停。

老師囑咐大家各自好好用功定課迴向大眾平安。

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.

深深感恩老師在今日為我們圓滿四年來講授《地藏菩薩本願經》講座，老師在開場時的一席話：「我們所處的這個世界，曾飽受戰火流離，父祖輩時代可能連完整的經書都難以覓得，更遑論能像我們現在有時間心力安穩聽經了，而且從歷史的洪流來看，我們正處於難得的和平歲月，希望我們珍惜難得聞法的因緣，以珍重心來聞法學習。」我們深深感恩諸佛菩薩的護佑及老師慈悲教導，特別感恩老師因為考量我們現代人忙碌的平日生活，特意在這四年來將講座時間安排為每兩個月一講，以這樣的慢速，讓我們得以在此生能有機會，完整聽聞這一部殊勝的佛經─ 

《地藏菩薩本願經》。

☛ 時間：民國 109 年 1 月 19 日(日) 下午1:30-5:00

☛ 地點：中華民國全國商業總會 會議室

台北市大安區復興南路一段390號6樓 (近捷運大安站 4號出口)

本次講座來到〈地神護法品第十一〉及〈見聞利益品第十二〉。

因為此兩品多講事，老師便特別闡述了事中之理，令我們從理上明白，才能運用在生活中千變萬化的事相上。例如所謂的護法，看似在護衛我們，其實他護的是「法」，我們如法、依照佛所教授的方法去做、去生活，護法自然也就會護衛我們在生活、學法、修行的路上，多遇善緣。

In this lecture, our Teacher Susan Duan, continued to teach the “Chapter 11: The Dharma Protection of the Earth Spirit” and the “Chapter 12: The Benefits from Seeing and Hearing”. Because what the two chapters illustrated the Dharma more by things, the Teacher elaborated on the rationale behind the things so that we could understand the Dharma rationally and apply it to the ever-changing things in life. For example, the so-called Guardians of the Buddhist Dharma seem to guard us; in fact, what they guard is the "Dharma", if we practice and live with the Dharma taught by the Buddha, the Guardian of the Dharma will naturally guard us to come across many good conditions in the path of life, learning the Dharma, and cultivating the minds.

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 2^nd meeting of second board of directors and supervisors was held smoothly and successfully!
