拜忏缘起：
佛在《三千佛名经》提到：释尊出家时，听到五十三佛名号，生起欢喜心，就向三千人说拜五十三佛的好处，可以消除五逆十恶罪、四重禁罪、及至极大重罪无根谤法。所以这三千人每天拜五十三佛，后来在这三千人中有一千零四人成佛。
拜忏意义：
忏悔一如法水，可以洗净我们的罪业；可以让我们到达解脱的涅槃彼岸；可以医治我们的烦恼百病；可以对治我们的无明黑暗。
拜忏的好处：
忏悔有无比殊胜的功德！
现今社会众生，不断地在造杀业、盗、淫，起贪、瞋、痴，不但遭受法律之苦，将来还要受恶报。如果能至诚恳切地拜忏，则业障就会重业轻报消除，善根就能增长，发菩提心，这样就能消除恶业。希望诸佛菩萨能够加被我们，洗刷染污的心，使之恢复清净。

🌈 2017 Thousand Buddhas Prayers Ceremony
Causality of Repentance:
In the “Sutra of the Names of the Three Thousand Buddhas”, Buddha mentioned that: when Shakyamuni Buddha was a renunciate, upon hearing the names of the fifty-three Buddhas, he felt tremendous joy. Hence, he expounded to 3,000 people about the benefits of prostrating to the fifty-three Buddhas. The benefits could eliminate the five heinous deeds and ten non-virtues; the heavy sin of the four prohibitions and the heaviest sin of blasphemy without basis. Consequently, amongst the 3,000 people who prostrated to the fifty-three Buddhas daily, 1,004 people attained Buddhahood.
Significance of repentance:
Repentance – like dharma nectar, is able to clear our obscurations; enable us to reach the liberation shore of Nirvana; remedy our afflictions and overcome our darkness of ignorance.
Benefits of repentance:
Repentance has incomparable auspicious benefits!
In today’s society, sentient beings continuously engage in creating the sins of killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, developing attachment, hostility and ignorance. These not only cause suffering from the effects of law enforcement, but also from future retribution. Thus, if we can earnestly and sincerely repent, our weighty nonvirtuous karma will be mitigated, while the lighter ones will be eliminated. Our virtuous roots can then be enhanced. Aspiring to develop Bodhicitta will eliminate our nonvirtuous karma. We hope to receive blessings from all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, to enable us to clear the defilements in our mind and reinstate it to its pure state.
