【清明祭祖 點燈祈福】
.
.
「四月」是懷思、感恩先祖的季節。
清明節這一天，為祖先們「點燈祈福｣，是對祖先、對自己，以及對子孫最好的方法。
.
《菩薩藏經》中說：「百千燈明，懺除悔罪」，因此在佛前點燈，是藉著佛的慈悲、佛的智慧光芒能量，幫助我們，以及祖先們帶來的吉祥能量和利益。當祖先，親人得到佛光加持，轉生極樂，一定也會為後代子孫帶來庇蔭与光明，增添福慧。因此，我們的祖先被光明照亮了，子孫後代才會興旺發達。
.
所以，為你的祖先點盞燈吧！為他們念佛、祈福、消業積德，讓身處黑暗世界的祖宗、親人們，都能得到佛光接引，轉生極樂。同時，也為自己和子孫後代帶來光明，同享福慧。
.
點燈祈福的利益有：
一、現世利益：身體健康，眼晴明亮、遠離黑暗愚痴、受人尊敬、消業積德、財富具足。
二、修行上的利益：得諸善法、遠離修行上的障礙、去除五毒惡業的牽引、斷除輪迴、尊貴自在、速證涅槃。
三、子孫的利益：子孫聰明智慧、相貌莊嚴、眾人喜愛，富貴吉祥。
四、祖先利益：祖燈長明、庇蔭後代、超渡先靈往生諸天。
.
在這個懷思、感恩的時節，到禪堂為祖先，和親人點燃明燈吧！
祝福大家…
「智慧通達無礙，福、祿、壽、享、吉祥康泰！」

Light a Blessing – Remembrance of Our Ancestors
.
The forth lunar month is the time to commemorate and remember our ancestors. When we make a light offering during Ching Ming Festival, it will bring immense benefits for our ancestors, ourselves and our descendants.
.
As described in the Great Bodhisattva’s Scriptural Basket Sutra, “The brilliance of the thousand lights will banish guilt and conviction”. When we offer a light in front of Buddha, we are harnessing Buddha’s light of compassion and wisdom to convey blessings to our ancestors and ourselves. Buddha’s light will shine upon our ancestors as they are reincarnated to the Pure Land. That same light will shine upon our descendants, blessing them with wisdom and good fortune. When our ancestors are showered in Buddha’s light, our descendants will naturally prosper and flourish.
.
With this knowledge in mind, go forth and offer a light for your ancestors. Chant and pray for them. Rid them of karmic debts and accumulate merits on their behalf. Let Buddha’s light guide them out of darkness and towards the light of the Pure Land. At the same time, let the light shine upon you and your descendants to bring endless blessings.
.
The benefits of Light Offering:
1. First, benefits to our secular life: Good health and bright vision. Freedom from all darkness. Respected by others. Elimination of karmic debts and accumulation of merits. Abundance of wealth.
2. Second, benefits to our cultivation: Present with right dharma. Free from obstacles in cultivation. Free from reincarnation. Noble and full of ease. Attainment of accelerated enlightenment.
3. Third, benefits to children and grandchildren: Supreme wisdom. Dignified and majestic appearance. Wealth and fortune.
4. Forth, benefits to ancestors: Buddha’s light shines upon ancestors and benefits future generations. Gain spiritual liberation to Pure Lands.
.
During this season of remembering and showing gratitude to your ancestors, seize this opportunity and come down to the Meditation Centre to offer a light to your ancestors and loved ones!
I wish the best to all of you. May you be blessed with wisdom, good fortune, health, happiness and longevity.
