中華清淨學佛協會

本次續講<閻羅王眾讚歎品第八>後半。段貞夙老師依著經文，說道「初發心時成正覺，如是二心初心難。」讓我們了解「發一個真正想求明白的心」是如此不易，但這個初心，保證了未來必定成佛的箇中緣由。

In this lecture, the Teacher Susan Duan, continued to teach the second half of “Chapter 8: The Praise of King Yama and His Retinue”. In accordance with the scriptures, the Teacher illustrated “At the very beginning of making vows to attain enlightenment and mindfulness, it has been predestined for one to become Buddha. However, to make such vows is more difficult.” to make us understand that it is not easy to “initially make a vow to really seek for self-awareness”, but such initiative is a guarantee of the reason of becoming a Buddha in the future.

本次清明法會，老師在帶領我們持誦《佛說阿彌陀經》之前，先引導我們調正心念，以「為追思感恩先人，乃至祝福眾生」的心，展開身口意如法的莊嚴誦經。   

本次講座一開始，老師說，佛教導我們：如果我們在輪迴中一次次死亡的屍體堆起來，比須彌山還高。這代表死亡是我們不論貧富貴賤都會遇到的，於是要學習明白，應該以什麼心態來面對這個表面是肉體死亡，實則是生命轉化，就像換工作，總想愈換愈好、換房子愈換愈好，帶著這樣的心態來學習，才是正向樂觀且真正對生者亡者有幫助的。

清明時節慎終追遠，協會將舉辦清明法會，恭誦《佛說阿彌陀經》，謹敬三寶恩德，並追懷先人，孝親報恩，歡迎報名參加，共植福田！

108年2月16日下午，新年開春，感恩協會創辦人段貞夙老師為滿我們在新的一年的開端能以聞法、誦經做為吉祥緣起的願，即使時程緊湊會讓老師很疲累，老師仍慈悲願意於同一天下午帶領我們全員研習及開春誦經法會。   

On the afternoon of February 16th, 2019, the beginning of spring of a new year, the founder of the Association, thank Teacher Susan Duan for enabling us to have the Dharma learning and Sutra chanting as the auspicious origin in the beginning of the new year. Even if the schedule would be tight, and the Teacher would be very tired, she was still compassionate and willing to lead our study and the Dharma Assembly at the Beginning of Spring on the same day.

這一講，段貞夙老師講述《地藏菩薩本願經》第七品<利益存亡品>，特別強調修行就是在修習慣，因為習慣的行為模式背後，一定有相對應習慣的知見思惟。倘若不去發現自己的知見思惟為何，進而修正，光靠一時壓抑或強扭外顯的行為，終究事倍功半。

This lecture, our Teacher Susan Duan gave the speech on “Chapter 7: Benefiting the Living and the Deceased” of “Sutra of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva” and particularly emphasized that the practice is to correct our bad habits because there must be related views and thinking behind the habitual behavioral patterns. If we don't find out our own wrong views and thinking, and then correct them, it will eventually spend more efforts but get less results by relying on a temporary repression or forced change of external behavior.
