文╱海天禅寺提供




  四月的菲律宾正值炎热的暑假,海天禅寺特地为菲国小朋友精心筹办了“2014年菩提星儿童禅修夏令营”。五天的营队于四月二十三日至二十七日热闹登场,计有来自大马尼拉地区九十多位六岁至十三岁的学童参加。透过静坐禅修、梵呗、华语、武术、素食烹饪、科学、创意美劳等丰富的课程,洗涤、沁凉了学童的心灵,营队也深获家长的肯定与赞赏。

五天的禅修,学童们学习专心、静心及定心,心性日益沉淀。
营队以“观世音菩萨”为主题,配合丰富多元的课程,薰修“敬、慈、和、真”及“感恩”的意义与内涵。

  第一天始业式,台湾驻菲律宾代表处张副代表亲临致辞,肯定海天禅寺每年提供菲律宾小朋友学佛禅修的多元学习空间,让他们从小养成正确的人生观及道德观。

  今年营队以“观世音菩萨”为主题,以故事、话剧及游戏,让学童了解观世音菩萨的悲智愿行,并将佛法生活化,展现“敬、慈、和、真”及“感恩”等意义与精神,让学童获得一生受用的宝藏。

  最后一天的感恩法会及成果展,学童与家长一同恭诵《佛说父母恩重难报经》,随后学童向父母顶礼,并献上感恩礼物,让父母感动不已。家长们观赏着孩子五大精神的学习成果,一再表达对营队的肯定与欢喜。最后的传心灯活动,每个人都从法师手中点亮了自己的智慧明灯,期许这盏明灯能带给家人、社会及世界光明与和平。营队的活动课程,给予亲子一场全新的学习飨宴,并将菩提心苗深深耕植于与会者的心中。

活动心得

学童╱Leenea Cristobal I learned about harmony. Harmony is important because if there is harmony within the group, all things that need to be done will be accomplished and be well organized.(我学习到和睦非常重要,因为团体和合,所有的事情就能顺利进行及完成。)

学童╱Cassandra Mae Salvador I learned to be sincere and peaceful. If there is sincerity, there will always be a good relationship among people. Being sincere is a symbol of a peaceful life.(我学习到真诚及平静。真诚,才能和大家结善缘,所以真诚是和谐生活的象征。)

家长╱传康 短短数日,孩子早已潜移默化,学习到“敬、慈、和、真”及“感恩”,并带回家庭,给予家人正面的影响。营队真的是一个教导孩子禅修、培植智慧的好地方!

辅导组组长╱Raceli Domingo(传闻) All the volunteers are the thousand eyes and hands that compose the 2014 Summer Camp of Ocean Sky Chan Monastery. Each of the volunteers was but just one of the thousand hands and thousand pairs of eyes. By forgetting everything about myself; there was NO SELF. The Bodhi Stars picked up lessons on the noble spirits, so that they wanted to apply the same at home, in school and in their respective communities, as was mentioned in their speeches.(海天禅寺儿童夏令营是由所有义工的千手千眼组合而成就的,每位义工都是其中的一双手和一双眼,以无我的心,忘记小我,全力以赴。希望菩提星们能将营队所学到的五大精神,落实在家庭、学校及社会。)

活动组组长╱Camilah Domingo(传止) I gained many realizations in this 5-day event. As a person, I should continue to learn more things in life and how to use it properly in our daily life. As a teacher, I should be more effective to be able to change my life and the life of others. As a cultivator, I need to practice more, hoping to have a positive effect on others.(五天的活动,我获益良多。就做人而言,我领悟到人生中应当学习更多做人处事的道理;作为一名老师而言,我要更积极地改善自己与他人的人生;作为一个修行人而言,我要更落实修行,才能积极、正面地影响他人。)
