*說明：弘化同心共濟會接受施棺捐款之每單位為5,500元，其中5,000元代轉受捐助家庭，餘500元為該會作業費。因此， 106年協會施棺捐款兩單位，共11,000元（如圖１右下收據所示），除該會扣除之1,000元作業費，共10,000元代轉予受捐助人(如圖２棺木濟助申請人之申請書及收據證明)。

*Note:  Honghua Masonic accepts each coffin donation of NT$5500 which contains NT$5000 transferred to the applicant and the balance of NT$500 as the admin. fee of Honghua. Therefore, we donated two coffins in 2017, the donation amount was NT$11,000(as shown in the lower right corner of Figure 1). Except for admin. fee of NT$1,000, NT$10,000 was transferred to the applicants(as shown in the Figure 2)   
 

淸淨教室(中華清淨學佛協會的前身)，及協會，每年皆力行歲末布施。

The Pure Classroom (The Association of Pure Buddhist's Predecessor) and The Association practice year-end donation every year.

因為創辦人段老師教導我們，供養三寶、布施眾生是殊勝的方便法門，藉由捨棄外在的事物(財物、勞務)，可讓我們練習捨去自己的慳吝、貪著，當執著的東西減少，自己的心也會感受到更加的輕鬆自在！    

老師曾比喻每個人就像一顆水滴，藉由協會之力，將每個人的力量匯聚成了一條河流，讓大家的布施助他心意能夠與更多眾生結下善緣。

Because the founder, Teacher Duan, taught us that, making offerings to the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha and practicing donating to sentient beings are holily convenient methods which can make us practice abandoning our stinginess and greed through abandoning external things (property and labor). When the less things we persist in, the freer and more comfortable our minds feel!        

The Teacher had compared every person to a drop of water, the Association is like a river which gathers all the drops of water, and then the river (the Association) can ride people's minds of donating and helping others to form good affinities with more sentient beings. 

因此，大家在力所能及下勤修財布施，踴躍捐款予協會，珍惜這塊捨慳貪的福田。於106年12月12日，歲末布施予6個單位：財團法人佛教僧伽醫護基金會、財團法人私立弘化同心共濟會、台灣導盲犬協會、無國界醫生、臺南市徐園長護生協會、宗南聯合學佛會(藍毗尼聖園大塔院     千佛供燈)。

Therefore, everyone does their best to practice property donation by donating to the Association actively. Everyone treasures the place which can make one accumulate merits through abandoning stinginess and greed. On December 12, 2017, the Association did year-end donation to six organizations: Sanga Health Care Foundation, Honghua Masonic, Taiwan Guide Dog Association, Médecins Sans Frontières(MSF)／Doctors Without Borders, Tainan Mr. Hsu's Life Protecting Association and United Trungram Buddhist Fellowship (Lumbini Udyana Mahachaitya / light a lamp to offer the Buddha).  

感恩能因為學習佛法，實踐為僧眾、年長者、病苦者、孤幼者、畜生道眾生，不分宗教種族國界，盡一份綿薄之力，捨慳吝助他。祈願佛法常住於世，帶來世間的光亮，引領我們在黑暗中前行，修心利他。

We are thankful that we can learn the Dharma and do our best to practice donating to the Sanga, the elderly, the sick, the orphan and animals, without any discriminations of religions, races and borders. And we sincerely hope that the Buddha Dharma can always abide in this world and bring light to us so that we can follow the light of the Dharma to walk forward in the darkness, cultivate our minds and benefit others.
