四月十五卫塞节

《四月十五卫塞节—-大日如来王尊佛》
“April 15 Vesak Day—-SunGuru Buddha”

今天是双节，一是佛陀卫塞节，此为古印度语，因相传佛陀圣诞，成道与涅槃都是月圆之日，特以此日意念佛陀的慈悲功德！其二，僧人以四月十五正式开始结夏安居，直至七月十五盂兰盆节，三个月不出寺院，避免误伤虫蚁。此修法源自佛陀，古印度雨季，生物众多，为修持慈悲心，佛陀禁止僧人外出，聚居道场精进修行。今天信众随上师一起，意念佛陀功德！精进佛道！回向法界如母有情众生，圆满菩提心！南无本师释迦摩尼佛！

Today is a double festival. One is Buddha Vesak Day, which is an ancient Indian word. According to legend, Buddha’s birthday, enlightenment and nirvana are all on the full moon day. This day is specially used to think of Buddha’s compassion and merit! Second, monks officially start the summer retreat on April 15th, and stay in the temple for three months until the July 15th Ullambana Festival to avoid accidentally hurting insects and ants. This practice originated from the Buddha. In ancient India, there were many creatures in the rainy season. In order to cultivate compassion, the Buddha forbade monks to go out and gather in the temple to practice diligently. Today, believers follow the Guru to think of Buddha’s merits! Diligent in the Buddhist path! Dedicate to the sentient beings in the Dharma Realm like a mother, and complete the Bodhicitta! Homage to our Root Teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha!
