菲律賓海天禪寺二○一三年菩提星兒童禪修營

文/海天禪寺提供



  一百零二年四月二十四日至二十八日,菲律賓海天禪寺在法師的帶領及一百多名義工的參與下,吸引了一百零六位五歲至十五歲的小菩提星參加為期五天的「菩提星兒童禪修營」。結業式中,台灣駐菲律賓代表處僑務組組長顏國裕先生並親臨致辭。
梵唄課時,認真地執持法器,唱誦佛號。

  營隊課程設計以「佛陀的一生」為主題,搭配生動的戲劇表演及遊戲,融合靜坐、梵唄、華語、武術、美勞、繪畫、急救等課程及活動,將佛法生活化,讓小朋友自然學習恭敬、慈悲、和睦、真誠、孝順、感恩等美德,獲得終身受用的寶藏。

  第一天在闖關、相見歡的活動後,展開熱鬧的始業式。護法會陳會長致辭後,與會貴賓與營隊成員共同觀賞「佛陀一生」短片。隨後,營主任開示營隊精神,並授予值星官肩帶。值星官隨後帶領小菩提星宣誓及表演隊呼,歡喜展開五天的快樂學習營。

  透過五天的禪修,小菩提星學習專心、靜心及定心,顯得日益沉穩。創意美勞中,利用蔬菜及水彩拓印出送給父母的感恩卡片;在急救課程中,感受慈悲助人的快樂,並為父母按摩消除疲勞。在串珠、拼圖及武術活動中,體會和諧、真誠的真義;在梵唄教唱、華語遊戲等活動中,認識多元的文化。

  第五天的感恩法會,親子一同恭誦《佛說父母恩重難報經》。隨後,小菩提星誠摰地向父母頂禮,並獻上感恩禮物,令父母們感動不已。結業式中,小菩提星上台展現五天的學習成果,並分享學習心得。貴賓、家長及義工們,一再表達對營隊的肯定與讚歎。最後的傳心燈活動,大眾共同發願:期望每個人的心就像一盞智慧明燈,不僅點亮自己,且照亮他人,並為家庭、社會、國家帶來光明與和平。

活動心得

小菩提星在靜坐與誦經中學習專注,沉澱自心。
感恩法會中,小菩提星長跪表達對父母的感恩。

小菩提星╱Tristen R. Turla What was most special is Beadworks. We made such beautiful bracelets to give to our parents to show our thankfulness for everything they did for us.(活動最特別的是,我在穿珠課中,串了很漂亮的手鐲送給我們的父母親,感恩他們為我們做的每一件事情。)

家長╱傳貴 I let all my grandchildren joined the summer camp. I wanted them to learn to follow rules and regulations and to develop good habits. Although it was just a short 5 days, all the lessons imparted in the camp can surely help in their school work!(我讓我的孫子都來參加,培養他們守秩序、守規矩、養成好習慣。雖然只有短暫的五天,但對他們在學校求學很有幫助。)

總隊輔╱Raceli Domingo(傳聞) When I accepted the task to be the AT Coodinator for the summer camp, I prayed very hard and exerted all efforts in the course of the camp. My heart was overflowing with joy, compassion and wisdom. Everyday, I also remembered to bring with me a big sack filled with patience, understanding and tolerance, to help me in dealing with all the challenges and irritants that come with the task.(這次全力以赴投入執事,心中盈溢著法喜、慈悲與智慧。每天不斷地提醒自己,必須時時以體諒、寬容和耐心來面對各項挑戰及煩惱。)

隊輔組長╱Raphael Domingo(傳思) At the end of the summer camp, the kids of my team came to me and told me they would miss me and wanted me to be their teacher again. I realized that even if you felt that what you did was nothing special; for the children, it was life changing.(營隊結束時,小朋友說他們會想念我,希望我能繼續當他們的隊輔師,這時我才了解到,雖然覺得自己所做的是很平凡的事,卻能改變小朋友的一生。)

機動組組長╱Randy Villanueva(傳飛)
 By molding the characters of our children towards respect, compassion, harmony, sincerity, and thankfulness, we parents are creating a more peaceful society and world for them to live in.(為人父母者,若能引導孩子朝向敬、慈、和、真、感恩來發展品格,就是在為孩子創造一個更平和的社會及世界。)

照客組╱Beatriz P. Monteza(傳夢) This year has taught me to give freely and generously whatever is asked of me without any rancor. I was also able to practice listening to my true mind in the midst of activities during the day.(今年我學會了要盡情慷慨地布施,以及在每個活動中練習聆聽自己的真心。)
