恭迎释迦摩尼佛成道日（腊八节）

《恭迎释迦摩尼佛成道日（腊八节）–大日如来王尊佛》
“Welcoming Shakyamuni Buddha’s Enlightenment Day (Laba Festival)–SunGuru Buddha”

腊八节大家不要当做喝粥节，而是源自于佛陀苦行圆满，燃灯古佛上师显现出大梵天王，为佛陀弹琴，弦音心传，好像琴弦，紧了绷，慢了松，不紧不慢才能成功。传授佛陀，过度就是执着。随即佛陀接受牧羊女供养羊乳，打破了比生命都重要的金刚誓言（上师至高无上），苦乐合和，证得无上正等正觉。第一个供养佛陀的牧羊女，被视为“帮助佛陀开启了觉悟之门”。佛陀身边的五个弟子无法理解佛陀的增上智慧，反而退道了。腊八节以腊八粥的形式，从内心冥想祈请佛陀的加持，随喜赞叹佛陀的伟大功德，跟随佛陀的足迹，升起大菩提心。也懂得自己要真心祈请上师，依止上师的要求，因为真理就是自己依止上师的菩提心和度度精准的智慧作为核心价值。佛陀虽然在密严刹土，摄受燃灯古佛上师加持成佛，已经做佛千次了，这次是示现成佛，早已经和上师合一成就，但也呈现寸步不离金刚上师的心法引领的殊胜功德。今天随上师意念佛陀的功德，持诵释迦摩尼佛心咒，回向法界众生解脱成就，圆满菩提道，智慧道，中道，妙道，本性道，普光明道，无道无不是道。愿大家吉祥如意，腊八节快乐！

Don’t think of Laba Festival as a drinking porridge festival, but it comes from the Buddha’s successful asceticism, the ancient Buddha Dipankara manifested as the Great Brahma King, and play the lute for the Buddha, string sounds to transmit heart insights, like the strings of a lute: tight and they snap; slow then become loose, only when it’s not tight and not slow then can one succeed. The teaching imparted to the Buddha, excess is attachment. Soon after Buddha accepted the goat’s milk offered by the shepherdess, broke the vajra oath (the Guru is supreme), which was more important than life, united pain and joy, and achieved supreme enlightenment. The shepherdess as the first person to make an offering to the Buddha, is perceive as the one who “helped Buddha open the door to his awakening.” The five disciples around the Buddha were unable to comprehend his advanced wisdom,and instead abandoned the path. Laba Festival through the form of Laba porridge, one should inwardly meditate and pray for the Buddha’s empowerment, joyfully praise his great merits, follow Buddha’s footsteps, and give rise to profound Bodhicitta. One must also understand the necessity of sincerely praying to the Guru, and adhering to the Guru’s requirements, as the essence of truth lies in relying on the Guru’s Bodhicitta and their precise wisdom as the core value. Though the Buddha was in the Pure Land of Akanishta, received the empowerment of Guru Dipankara to become Buddha, and had already attained Buddhahood a thousand times, this instance of becoming Buddha was a manifestation, long before had already merged in unity with the Guru to achieve enlightenment, yet he still demonstrated the extraordinary merit of being inseparable from the heart dharma of the Vajra Guru. Today following the Guru to reflect on the merits of Shakyamuni Buddha, recite Shakyamuni Buddha’s heart mantra, and dedicate the merit for the liberation and enlightenment of all sentient beings throughout the Dharma Realm, completing the Bodhi Path, the Path of Wisdom, the Middle Path, the Wondrous Path, the Path of True Nature, the Path of Universal Light, and the realization that every path is the Path. Wish everyone have auspicious blessings and joy. Happy Laba Festival!
