宏船老和尚圆寂廿四周年纪念

“佛法博大精深,其弘传之责任,不仅出家人,而尤赖在家居士共肩此艰巨任务。俾人人皆知正觉之大道。吾人研 习佛法,约有远缘,近缘两大类别之根器,其夙根敏颖者,一闻千悟,可以顿超如来地,此曰近缘。其由积渐勤学,循序而进,终至解行相应,契合佛心而成道者, 虽不一定今生证得,而待来生者,即曰远缘。便不论如何,诸位如能时时得有闻法之机会,或得阅及而受文字般若之熏陶;心生欢喜,以是因缘,即是种下菩提之 因,久远将来,当亦有成佛之机会。故曰佛教方便多门也。”—— 摘自《宏船长老法汇》 宏船老和尚

2015 Alms & Sangha’s Offering


2015 Alms & Sangha's Offering

“He who reveres those worthy of reverence, the Buddhas and their disciples, who have transcended all obstacles and passed beyond the reach of sorrow and lamentation – he who reveres such peaceful and fearless ones, his merit none can compute by any measure.” (Dhammapada v195- 196)

According to the Sutra of Generosity, one can benefit in these five areas – beauty, strength, longevity, happiness and eloquence – by making offerings to the Triple Gem. Venerable Maudgalyayana and Emperor Liang had offered food to the Sangha on behalf of their loved ones to help them be liberated from the three lower realms.

Offering alms to the Sangha is a meritorious act and allows them to concentrate on their learning, practising and sharing of the Buddha’s teachings. The monastery has introduced offering packages for devotees to choose from. For devotees who would like to make monetary donations during the alms and Sangha’s offering, please approach our Front Office. All donations will be utilised for the building and funding of Buddhist College of Singapore.
