Lunar 7th Month Ullambana Festival

Posted on by

一件善举，不分大或小，能够影响和改变一个和其他人的一生。

農曆七月是
【佛吉祥日、佛歡喜日、盂蘭盆會】

佛歡喜日，乃源自於佛在世時的印度，每逢夏天雨季來臨，所有僧侶皆不外出托缽，專心修持，此稱為「結夏安居」。 經過三個月的時間，到了安居結束之日，所有僧眾便一一把自己的修行體悟向佛陀報告，因為有不少精進的僧眾在結夏安居期間用功修行而開悟，令世尊非常歡喜。

如果能夠供養開悟或有修有證的僧眾，不僅是殊勝難得的因緣，所得到的功德也非常廣大。因此，大多數的寺廟會在這一天供佛、齋僧，並依據《盂蘭盆經》所載而啟建「盂蘭盆法會」。

盂蘭盆法會是以大目犍連尊者度母因緣為緣起，目犍連尊者曾依佛陀所囑為救度母親而於此日齋僧，為解一切眾生之倒懸，度脫無始以來的亡靈有情、父母親眷，令其得以福德增長、善根漸成、法緣完滿，乃至成就菩提…。

沿傳至今，佛弟子恪遵佛制，舉辦盂蘭盆法會，打齋供僧，以此功德回向現世父母消災延壽，七世父母得以脫離惡道。

我们讲举办7天的诵经法会,希望大家能踊跃地参加这个一年一度的法会。
