观音菩萨成道日

于7月31日 (农历6月19日）是【观音菩萨成道日】，一大早僧俗二众为施主们点灯祈福、消灾、延寿。恭颂

在念诵《普门品》时，竟有四百余信众出席！不是假日，却有那么多信众莅临共沾法喜，内心深深感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨之加持，使法会圆满成办，法师与诸信众们不仅集聚福功德，也圆满自心对亲友回向善行。
有如寂天菩薩回向文：
“愿诸众施主，殷勤供诸佛，依佛无边福，恆常获安乐。 
愿汝无苦痛，无病未造罪！无惧不遭轻，毕竟无不乐！“
随喜诸大德之供养与布施，感恩！

Auspicious Reminder #132

31st July 2018 is Avalokitehsvara’s Enlightenment day, and both Sangha and the laities made lights offerings on behalf of all donors, and supplicate for blessings and longevity. During the puja where the Universal Door Sutra was recited, there were more than 400 attendees present!

It isn’t a public holiday, yet so many came to experience the Dharma joy. The great compassion and blessings of Avalokiteshvara can be felt deeply as the puja ended on a perfect note. The Sangha and laities not only accumulated great merits, but also completed the virtuous deeds of dedicating to all beings.

Recalling parts of Shantideva Bodhisattva’s dedication verses: 
May all beings to be able to offer sincerely to the Buddhas, and attain limitless merits, peace and happiness! May all be free from sufferings, refrain from non-virtuous deeds that lead to sickness! May all be fearless, and to be well and happy always!

With gratitude, we rejoice with all donors’ offerings and generosity!

With folded palms, 
BWM Sangha
