菲律賓海天禪寺二○一二年菩提星兒童禪修營 文/海天禪寺提供 經過數週緊鑼密鼓的籌備,菲律賓海天禪寺菩提星兒童禪修營於四月二十五日至二十九日正式登場。為期五天的營隊,約八十位小星參加、一百餘位義工投入護星行列。
透過禪修,小星們日益沉穩。配合每日不同的主題,營隊也安排多樣化的才藝課程,例如:在創意美勞中,小星們用心製作送給父母的禮物;素食烹飪課,學習慈心不殺;在染衣、串珠及武術課程中,體會和諧、真誠的真義;並學習梵唄、法器及華語課程。 第五天的感恩法會中,恭誦《佛說父母恩重難報經》。隨後,小星向父母訴說心中的感謝,讓父母們感動不已。台北經濟文化辦事處駐菲律賓廖副代表、菲律賓警政署將軍Arturo Cacdac Jr.、護法會陳會長等嘉賓,帶著肯定、歡喜的心,於結業式中致辭。傳燈大典中,來賓、家長、大小星及護星菩薩們,從法師手中接下明燈,排出中台禪寺金頂圖樣,共發菩提心願。經過五天的學習與歷練,菩提心苗已然深植於每一位與會者的心中。 學童心得 Aleeza╱Many heartwarming thanks to Abbess and Shifus for being so compassionate in giving us this chance to let us learn not only knowledge but the facts of life.(衷心感謝住持法師及常住法師們慈悲舉辦這個活動,我們學習到的不只是知識,更學習到生命的意義。) Zarah╱I learned how to meditate and be more focused.(我學會了靜坐,讓自己更專注、攝心。) Ginea╱I learned about Respect and Compassion. We must respect other people whether they are older or younger. Also we must be compassionate; we must put others first.(我學會了恭敬和慈悲。不管是年輕人或老年人,我們都應該尊敬他們。也要有慈悲心,優先考慮別人。) 隊輔心得 Joan╱After the closing program, children talked to several volunteers and expressed their joy and commitment to help out their parents and siblings in whatever way they can. And their gestures, smiles, laughter, and stares all indicated that the virtues of respect, compassion, harmony, sincerity, and thankfulness have been impressed upon them. The young ones have been truly transformed in this camp.(小朋友在結業式後向護星菩薩們表達心中的法喜,並發願要幫助父母和兄弟姊妹;在他們的舉手投足之間自然散發出恭敬、慈悲、和諧、真誠與感恩等美德,在禪修營中,孩子已經真正改變了。) 家長心得 Shiri╱I am proud that my child is a part of this wonderful activity. We're not only seeing children learn the wisdom of the Dharma, meditation, vegetarianism, but above all, our children were being taught to be morally upright young citizen of this country even at their early age. If all children experience this camp, I think the Philippines will be a better and more secure place for children to be in.(我很高興將孩子送來這裡學習,他們除了學到佛法的智慧、靜坐和吃素以外,更重要的是在這麼小的年紀就學會要作一個正直的公民。假使所有的小朋友都能來參加禪修營,相信菲律賓必定會成為孩子們的天堂!) |
