    美国普德精舍庆祝三○四四年佛诞浴佛法会暨国际素食展


















  美国德州分院普德精舍为庆祝本师释迦牟尼佛三○四四年圣诞,于二○一七年五月七日举行“佛诞浴佛法会暨国际素食展”,庄严的法会,与色香味俱全的五大洲素食料理,吸引超过五百人踊跃参与。

  七日上午,浴佛法会在住持法师带领下举行,大众藉由事上以香汤灌沐如来,彰显外除身垢,内离心染的浴佛真义;同时,来自世界各地的精舍学员,也把握因缘,将深具民族特色的素食料理,虔诚供佛,并参加展览,欢庆佛诞。

  今年以“中台拈花,众生微笑”为主题的第三届国际素食展,计有三十一个国家参展,提供近六十道独具风味的美食飨宴,供养三宝及与会大众。展场中透过食材呈现书法的笔墨神韵,以及学员以精湛刀工,呈现“六波罗蜜”为主题的六盘佳肴,令人惊艳,其中更以蔬果、花艺展现素食之美。台北经济文化办事处林副处长与侨教中心庄主任赞叹此次活动,藉由国际素食展,除了以清净的素食供佛之外,更促进种族融合及文化交流。

  “众生欢喜,诸佛欢喜”,和谐欢乐的“佛诞浴佛法会暨国际素食展”,不啻为庆祝佛诞的最佳献礼,更期盼以食轮助转法轮,接引五大洲有缘众生,入佛法界,明心见性,见性成佛。

来自世界各国的精舍学员带着亲友,欢喜浴佛庆赞佛诞。

法会心得

护法会会长╱传恕 这次活动全精舍同心协力来成就,接引各界人士来到道场,亲近佛法僧三宝。感恩开山祖师惟觉安公老和尚在休士顿建立道场,感恩师父及师兄们,大家辛苦了!

副会长╱传上 今年浴佛节盛况空前,令人感动!不仅人数空前,而且所有与会者都带着热忱与踊跃欢喜之心!展品精致、饮食美味,大众都尝到这分用心的滋味,也结下清净法缘;而浴佛的清凉,更启发了人人本具的觉性。

副会长╱传黠 品尝素食展的美食时,巧妙地破除我执,打开了味觉的包容度,心量也随之拓展,而看似平常的食材,却成为花艺、雕刻、书法及艺术的元素,处处令人惊喜。

执行秘书╱传极 活动筹备期间,精舍处处洋溢着节日的气氛。义工菩萨的无私奉献及融洽,体现了在精舍所学的菩萨精神,感得五百多位来宾前来共襄盛举,留下殊胜难忘的回忆。此次活动不仅只是一场聚会,更向世人展现了素食不仅慈悲、健康,而且美味,同时,也让不同种族、背景的学员们有机会供佛,并展现自己的文化,真实呈现精舍种族融合、多元化的开放理念。(An atmosphere of festivity for the celebration of the Buddha’s Birthday surrounded our center during the preparation of the event, our volunteers worked very diligently and harmoniously demonstrating the great Bodhisattva’s spirit by applying what they have learned in the center and as a result at least 500 people were able to enjoy a peaceful memorable event. The occasion was a great opportunity not only for our center to come together as a community and show the world that is possible to have a compassionate diet without scarifying great taste but also to give exposure to all the different nationalities groups whom attend our meditation classes.)

行堂组╱法宝 我这个住在休斯顿多元文化城市的英国业余厨师,很荣幸呈上家乡菜供佛。整个过程那种庄严、详和及菩萨们互相合作的气氛,完美地融入五颜六色的美食,构成一幅充满活力、丰富多彩的画面,深深地印在大家的笑脸上。(For me, not only as a student at the Zen Centre, but also as a British born amateur cook, it felt so wonderful to be able to prepare a typical dish of my homeland. At all times the deep sense of reverence, mindful peace, and collaborative cultivation of the Sangha; combined perfectly with the excitement of many new visitors, accompanied by the dizzying array of exquisite vegetarian culinary delights, to produce a vibrant, colorful, and deeply rewarding satisfaction that was clearly evident in everybody's faces throughout the day and the various events.)

大寮组副组长╱传诚 活动在赞叹和法喜中圆满落幕,内心十分震撼,检讨反省过去自己心量不够广大,感恩师父慈悲,弟子发愿扩大心量,广结善缘,以食轮助转法轮。

展场布置组╱传知 仰赖平时禅修打坐的练习,帮助我可以心无旁骛地完成以六波罗蜜为主题的食材雕刻,为了保持展场食物的新鲜度,几乎没睡,只为了把最好的作品供佛、呈现给大众。很感恩师父,让我有机会以我的所长来供佛,并与大众结法缘。
