【元宵】佛前供燈,喜獲龍鳳胎孫!
.
元宵節除了賞花燈、猜燈謎,也是一個求子的好日子。在很多地方,相傳只要夫妻兩人在元宵節,在佛前供燈求子,就能得到佛菩薩的加持。如果順利求得子嗣,次年元宵就要繼續供燈還願。

如果有心想求子的朋友們,可以試試看,在元宵節時來禪堂點燈,祈求佛菩薩保佑自己順利得子。

【Lantern Festival】 Offered light before Buddha and delightfully blessed with a pigeon-pair of grandchildren!

The Lantern Festival is not merely the moment to appreciate beautiful lanterns and decipher lantern riddles, it is also a good occasion to pray to have children. In many places, legend has it that couples who offer light before the Buddha were blessed and had their wishes fulfilled. The blessed couples customarily continue their light offerings in the following year as a form of gratitude.

So friends who would like to pray for a child, do give it a try. Visit any Bodhi Meditation Center near you to offer light and seek the Buddhas’ and Bodhisattvas’ blessings for a smooth conception of your child.

Below is a true story of how light offering results in one being blessed with grandchildren.
?‍?‍?‍?Testimonial – Malaysia’s Lin A-Di’s story ?‍?‍?‍?

In 2017, I had the privilege to participate in Bodhi Meditation’s Blessing Ceremony. It was extraordinary and most blissful!

At the event, I decided to draw a divination lot. A fellow Bodhi Meditation sister who was assisting asked what I had wished for. I told her I do not lack anything, except for a grandchild! I have 3 children; my eldest son had been married for 10 years, second son for 6 years, and my daughter, two years. They do not have any children, despite having consulted both eastern and western medicine and being in good health. This had left me perplexed.

Thus, the fellow Bodhi Meditation sister suggested that I offer light before the Buddha, pray to Master about my wish, and hope that I could accumulate more merits through volunteering at Bodhi Meditation Center. Following, I took up the sister’s advice, including helping out at the Center Kitchen. One day after about two months, my second son called to inform that my daughter-in-law showed signs of pregnancy. Upon examination, it was confirmed to be a pigeon-pair twins (boy-and-girl twins)! It was simply wonderful and most unexpected!

Following, my young daughter was also pregnant, and we were all overjoyed! Through light offerings and volunteer work, I had achieved my wish! I am most grateful for the blessings of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas as well as Master Jin Bodhi!

On this auspicious day, I wish everyone a Joyous Lantern Festival, and may all your wishes be fulfilled!

【元宵節供燈】照亮幸福人生 . 關於元宵…

【元宵節供燈】照亮幸福人生
.
關於元宵節的起源,佛門裡有這樣的記載。東漢永平年間,漢明帝派人到天竺求取佛法,標誌著佛教正式傳入中國,這就是著名的「永平求法」。漢明帝聽說正月十五僧人有瞻佛舍利、點燈供佛的傳統,於是這一天在皇宮和寺廟裡供燈敬佛,民間也紛紛效仿,逐漸形成了元宵賞燈的風俗。
.
佛法猶如明燈,照破世間黑暗。我們觀想佛燈大如須彌山,光亮遍照四野八荒,光芒所照之處,一切陰暗消失,眾生的煩惱痛苦悉皆消除,能辨善惡,智慧通達,身心光明。感恩歷代佛教祖師大德,以他們的慈悲和智慧,如傳燈般,一代代傳給我們解脫的希望,帶給世間無限光明、溫暖、安寧和吉祥。
.
佛經中記載了佛前供燈,能夠得到健康長壽、智慧光明、消災滅難、快速開悟、所求皆得等等無量的功德利益。在菩提禪堂點燈有很多受益的見證故事,不管是求學業、求生子、求工作、求健康、求超度,都有大量所求皆得的案例。
.
正月十五,是一年中第一個月亮圓滿之夜,為我們最愛、最牽掛的人,在佛前點上一盞明燈,讓供燈借助佛光,照亮至親的人生道路,給他啟發、給他佛菩薩的力量和加持,遇到一切煩惱,都能快速消除,獲得健康、快樂、完美、吉祥。
.
祝福永遠光明,永遠幸福。

【Light Offering during Lantern Festival】 Illuminating a Blessed Life

In Buddhism, there is documentation on the origins of the Lantern Festival. During the Yong Ping years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Emperor sent his men to Tian Zhu to seek Dharma, marking the formal introduction of Buddhism to China. This is known as the famous “Yong Ping Seeking Dharma”. Han Ming Emperor learnt that, on the fifteenth of the first month of the lunar calendar, there were traditions of monks paying homage to the Buddha relics and offering light to the Buddha. Hence, on this day too, light offerings took place in the palace and in temples to worship the Buddha. The ordinary folks followed suit and gradually formed the custom of admiring lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

Dharma is like a beacon of light eradicating the darkness of the world. We visualize the light of Buddha to be as great as Mount Meru, shining in all directions. Where there is light, all darkness dissipates. All the pains and sufferings of sentient beings are eliminated. Sentient beings are able to discern good from evil; they possess great wisdom and have an illuminated body and mind. Gratitude to the great virtues of the Buddhist patriarchs! Their compassion and wisdom are like lights, passing from generation to generation, giving us the hope of liberation and bringing the world unlimited brilliance, warmth, tranquility and auspiciousness.

The Buddhist scriptures detail that by offering light before the Buddha, one can gain health and longevity, great wisdom, eliminate disaster, obtain rapid enlightenment and gain other immeasurable merits and benefits. In Bodhi Meditation, there are many testimonies that illustrate the benefits of making light offerings before the Buddha. Whether it is praying for good grades for one’s study, having a child, career, health, or for the deceased, there are a large number of cases where the prayers are answered.

The fifteenth of the first lunar month is the first full moon of the year. It is the perfect day to offer lights before the Buddha for our most beloved and cared for persons in our life. Let the light we offer, together with Buddha’s light, shine and illuminate the paths ahead for them. May it give them inspiration and the power and blessings of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Whenever they encounter troubles, they will be able to eliminate them quickly, gain health, happiness, perfection and auspiciousness.

Be blessed with eternal brilliance and blissfulness.
