    菲律宾海天禅寺二○一七年菩提星儿童禅修夏令营

















  菲律宾海天禅寺于二○一七年四月十九日至二十三日,举办“菩提星儿童禅修夏令营”,六十多位菩提星及近百位义工欢喜参与。

  为了让小朋友轻松亲近佛法,营队以活泼生动的佛学、静坐、梵呗、华语、武术、素食烹饪、牙齿保健,以及创意美劳等多元课程,为孩子植下清净的菩提种子,也为炎炎夏季带来清凉与欢乐。

  今年营队主题是“向文殊菩萨学习”,透过佛典故事,让小朋友认识文殊菩萨的智慧与愿力,并以生动的话剧表演及游戏,将“敬、慈、和、真、感恩”五大精神,以寓教于乐的方式,让孩子学习终身受用的人生智慧。此外,小学员也在五天的禅修静坐中,学会静心与定心。

  营队圆满之际,中华民国驻菲律宾代表处侨务秘书黄凤娇女士,特别前来参加感恩法会及结业式。小学员与家长欢聚一堂,一起恭诵《佛说父母恩重难报经》十恩偈,并恭敬地顶礼父母、献上亲手做的花圈及拥抱,亲情流露,十分感人。

  结业式中,小学员展现丰硕的学习成果,与大众分享成长的喜悦,并与家长上台分享对三宝的无限感恩。营队最后的传心灯活动,法师为每位学员点亮手中的明灯,期许这盏明灯如同营歌──We are all the Bodhi Stars, shining in the Ocean Sky.(我们都是小菩提,闪亮在海天的星空),把这份光明散播出去,照亮世界每个角落!

丰实的营队课程,小学员不仅学会静坐定心,也欢喜学习法器、梵呗。
