　　一百零二年四月二十四日至二十八日，菲律宾海天禅寺在法师的带领及一百多名义工的参与下，吸引了一百零六位五岁至十五岁的小菩提星参加为期五天的“菩提星儿童禅修营”。结业式中，台湾驻菲律宾代表处侨务组组长颜国裕先生并亲临致辞。

梵呗课时，认真地执持法器，唱诵佛号。

　　营队课程设计以“佛陀的一生”为主题，搭配生动的戏剧表演及游戏，融合静坐、梵呗、华语、武术、美劳、绘画、急救等课程及活动，将佛法生活化，让小朋友自然学习恭敬、慈悲、和睦、真诚、孝顺、感恩等美德，获得终身受用的宝藏。

　　第一天在闯关、相见欢的活动后，展开热闹的始业式。护法会陈会长致辞后，与会贵宾与营队成员共同观赏“佛陀一生”短片。随后，营主任开示营队精神，并授予值星官肩带。值星官随后带领小菩提星宣誓及表演队呼，欢喜展开五天的快乐学习营。

　　透过五天的禅修，小菩提星学习专心、静心及定心，显得日益沉稳。创意美劳中，利用蔬菜及水彩拓印出送给父母的感恩卡片；在急救课程中，感受慈悲助人的快乐，并为父母按摩消除疲劳。在串珠、拼图及武术活动中，体会和谐、真诚的真义；在梵呗教唱、华语游戏等活动中，认识多元的文化。

　　第五天的感恩法会，亲子一同恭诵《佛说父母恩重难报经》。随后，小菩提星诚挚地向父母顶礼，并献上感恩礼物，令父母们感动不已。结业式中，小菩提星上台展现五天的学习成果，并分享学习心得。贵宾、家长及义工们，一再表达对营队的肯定与赞叹。最后的传心灯活动，大众共同发愿：期望每个人的心就像一盏智慧明灯，不仅点亮自己，且照亮他人，并为家庭、社会、国家带来光明与和平。

活动心得

小菩提星在静坐与诵经中学习专注，沉淀自心。

感恩法会中，小菩提星长跪表达对父母的感恩。

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.（活动最特别的是，我在穿珠课中，串了很漂亮的手镯送给我们的父母亲，感恩他们为我们做的每一件事情。）

家长╱传贵　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!（我让我的孙子都来参加，培养他们守秩序、守规矩、养成好习惯。虽然只有短暂的五天，但对他们在学校求学很有帮助。）

总队辅╱Raceli Domingo（传闻）　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.（这次全力以赴投入执事，心中盈溢着法喜、慈悲与智慧。每天不断地提醒自己，必须时时以体谅、宽容和耐心来面对各项挑战及烦恼。）

队辅组长╱Raphael Domingo（传思）　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.（营队结束时，小朋友说他们会想念我，希望我能继续当他们的队辅师，这时我才了解到，虽然觉得自己所做的是很平凡的事，却能改变小朋友的一生。）

机动组组长╱Randy Villanueva（传飞）　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.（为人父母者，若能引导孩子朝向敬、慈、和、真、感恩来发展品格，就是在为孩子创造一个更平和的社会及世界。）

照客组╱Beatriz P. Monteza（传梦）　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.（今年我学会了要尽情慷慨地布施，以及在每个活动中练习聆听自己的真心。）
