適逢一年一度供僧道糧籌募之期,我佛弟子恪尊佛制,提倡孝道捐獻供僧道糧,藉此功德為父母消災延壽,令先靈早生佛國,效法目犍連尊者之大孝以報四重宏恩,利濟三塗群生。所謂供養三寶,護持道場,應當究竟、如法,意即不供養一餐,而供養全年;不供養少人,而供養大眾;不只供養現在,更要供養未來;同時護持僧團,成就僧眾之修持辦道,其意義功德至大至深。
本寺 於8 月24 日至9 月21 日早晚諷誦《地藏菩薩本願經》,並於9月7 日(日)上午10時舉行《地藏法會暨善緣寶寶功德總回向》,以此功德回向供僧道糧功德主福慧俱增,屆時歡迎闔府蒞寺禮佛,同霑法益!
請於9月5日前,將您為贊助文化教育基金所認領之「善緣寶寶」請回講堂功德回向。
The annual Sangha Day is approaching. According to the Buddhist tradition, one may cultivate tremendous merits by making offerings to the Sangha, and practice filial piety by dedicating the merits to their parents and ancestors, and to all the sentient beings. The best way to make offerings to the Triple Gem and support the monastery is to make offerings to the monastic community rather than to just one person or a small number of people; to make offerings for the entire year rather than for only one meal; to make offering consistently rather than just for the present. In this way, one is supporting the Sangha and helping them practice and spread Buddha’s teaching, and therefore make this practice with deepened meaning.
In order to thank all the devotees and Dharma friends for their kind support, IBPS Dallas will conduct Ksitigarbha Dharma Services on September 7 for them. You and your family are most welcome to attend the services and share in the Dharma joy.
Please also bring your “Good Fortune Little Monk” to the temple before September 5, 2025 for the transference of merits if you have one.
In addition, during the entire seventh lunar month (from August 24 to September 21), the monastics will chant the Ksitigarbha Sutra every morning and evening in the Main Shrine and dedicate all merits to the devotees and benefactors’ loved ones.
