Namo tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammā-sambuddhassa

Homage to that Blessed One, the Arahant and Perfect Self-Awakened One

礼敬世尊 阿罗汉 圆满自觉者

奉献给世界一份无私的真 English

2008年2月,五位比丘来到了古晋,与古晋菩提法苑结下了深厚的情谊。

短短十天的相会,留下了美丽的承诺,如梦、如真。

一个月后,志同道合的比丘兄弟们再次在古晋相会。于是,一群寻真的人儿开始了一程肝胆相照的法之旅。

2008年7月18日,位于古晋新山肚的兜率天修行林成立了。十一位比丘、十位沙弥及两位老尼师在此进入雨安居。与此同时,两位比丘和四位尼师亦在古晋十一哩的菩提禅林入雨安居。古晋菩提法苑燃起了希望之火,开始背负护持正法传扬、协助僧团振兴的历史性任务。

他们说,即使是如此小规模的出家群,在马来西亚还算是第一次。也许,但不是为了创新,而是要承先启后,为的是佛陀原始的教化,为的是众生离苦得乐的法业。

年轻的团体,年轻的心儿,忠实地披上了古老的智慧与经验,从此默默谦劳。有人说他们清高,他们却只是踏实地向前走。

2009年7月7日,二十二位比丘、六位沙弥在兜率天修行林入雨安居;三十位尼师亦在数位来去的居士伴随下在菩提禅林入雨安居。狭小的修行空间开始不胜负荷。但他们分享,她们相融,无怨,只叹息还有一些寻真的人儿停留在门外。

有人说他们在一年里带来了革命般的奇迹。有人归功于龙天护法,有人说是他们那赤子般的真心……内圈人却只看到了平凡。问他们的首领,他说:是法的力量:你、我、他、她心中的每一份平凡的法的力量。

无我、无私、真心、奉献,把自己完完全全奉献给三宝吧!先把自心修好,开发出无限的法的力量:先点亮自己,你将能点亮别人。

你瞧,他们来了,他们的爸爸妈妈都来了,他们的伴侣都来了,她们的儿女都来了!他想把他的法喜与她们分享,她想把她的法光与他们分享。从此他们与她们延续了兜率天的美丽气氛。

他们从来不认为自己圆满。他们说:他们愿善用当前不圆满的内外世界,迈向真实,迈向安稳圆满的涅槃。

这是一个古老的使命:他们与她们,要努力做好作为世人的好福田。于是他们与她们致力于净化内心。自爱、爱他;爱他,自爱;完全没有矛盾,只是相融。

让法脉渊远长流吧!年轻的心儿!

让众生看到希望吧!勇敢的先锋!

让群雄从此敢于梦想,智勇地把法的理想、爱的理想落实。

就从兜率天修行林开始。

朋友,您是否愿意走进来参与兜率天的善,共同为佛陀的法脉之延续与弘扬、僧团的振兴与壮大、众生的提升与真惠,奉献您的一份心、一份力,与他们一起,像她们一样,奉献给世界一份无私的真?

Giving the World True Selfless Sincerity

February 2008

Five bhikkhus (monks) came to Kuching. Thus marked the beginning of their deep relationship with Kuching Bhagavan Buddhist Society (KBBS).  A short ten-day gathering sowed the seeds of a beautiful commitment. It was like a dream, yet it was true.

One month later, a group of Saṅgha brothers sharing a common vision gathered in Kuching and hence embarked the open-hearted spiritual journey of this band of Truth-seekers.

July 18, 2008

In Sin San Tu, Tusita Hermitage established.  There, eleven bhikkhus, ten sāmeṇeras (novice monks) and two old sayalays (nuns) entered Vassa (Rains Retreat).  Concurrently, two bhikkhus and four sayalays also entered Vassa in Bodhivana at 11 Miles, Kuching.  They sparked the flame of hope in KBBS to shoulder the historic task of propagating the True Dhamma and reviving the Noble Sangha.

Some say, though only a small international Saṅgha, it is still the first of its kind in Malaysia. However, they do not mean to be different. They only wish to safeguard the Dhamma heritage of our Noble Lineage and to blaze a trail for future generations to come – for the longevity of the Original Buddha’s Teachings and for the cessation of suffering of beings.

This young assembly…these young hearts…, faithfully adhering to the wisdom and experiences of old, quietly practices the Dhamma. Some people consider them to be aloof.  For them, they are just forging ahead sure-footedly.

July 7, 2009

Twenty-two bhikkhus and six sāmeṇeras entered Vassa in Tusita Hermitage.  Thirty sayalays with some laity entered Vassa in Bodhivana.  Undersized practicing space began to feel the load.  However the Saṅgha and sayalays shared their congested monasteries in united harmony. Regrettably, there are still others who did not get the chance to join.

Some say, in this past year, this group brought about a revolutionary miracle.  Some claim this to be the work of nagas and guardian devas. Some declare it to be the result of the genuine hearts of the group…insiders deem it to be just ordinary work.  When their leader was asked, he replied, “This is the power of the Dhamma.  It is a natural outcome of the combined Dhamma power in each of us.”

Let us selflessly, sincerely and whole-heartedly dedicate our lives to the Triple Gem. Let us cultivate our own minds to unveil the immeasurable power of the Dhamma. First we must illuminate ourselves then only can we illuminate others.

You see, they have joined. Their parents have joined. Their spouses and children have joined. They wish to share their Dhamma happiness with others and live out the beautiful atmosphere of Tusita Heaven here and now.

They never think of themselves as perfect.  Instead, they cherish every inner and outer imperfection as a golden opportunity to train their minds…for Truth…for the realization of unshakable Happiness…for the perfect and secure Nibbāna.

This is the ancient mission:  They strive to serve as the incomparable field of merit for the world.  Thus they relentlessly endeavor to purify their minds.  To them, the love for oneself and the love for others harbors no contradiction but only genuine harmony.

Let the river of the Buddha’s Dispensation flow long! Oh, Dear Young Hearts !

Let beings see Hope!  Oh, Courageous Pioneers fearlessly go!

Let all Great Ones Dare to Dream!  Dare to live the Dreams of Dhamma and Great Love!

Go forth Young Hearts and Grow with the Sāsana!

Here, in Tusita Hermitage, begins these Great Dreams.

Friends, what role will you play for Tusita Dreams in these defining moments?  Let us contribute to the Buddha’s Dispensation, to ensure its continuation, to spread the Dhamma, to strengthen the Saṅgha, and to benefit all beings.  Come. Contribute a piece of your heart, a share of your energy, and together we shall give the world our True Selfless Sincerity.

愿正法久住

May the Dhamma Last Long in the World!
