Grand Master Presides Over the Kalachakra Homa in Sydney — Transmitting the Dharma of Buddhahood, Blessing All, Praying for World Peace蓮生法王主壇時輪金剛護摩 傳成佛大法 賜福眾生 祈求世界和平
On Sunday, 17 October 2010, at the Sydney Convention Centre, Darling Harbour, Living Buddha Lian-Shen presided over a grand and magnificent Kalachakra Homa Ceremony, offering disaster relief and blessings to all present, praying for the recovery of the global economy, the elimination of natural and man-made disasters, and dedicating the merits for world peace.
2010年10月17日(星期日),澳洲悉尼達令港會議中心,法王蓮生活佛主壇了一場非常盛大的時輪金剛護摩法會,為與會的大眾消災祈福,並祈願全球經濟復甦、天災人禍消除,更迴向世界和平!
In accordance with the entrustment of Root Guru Thubten Dargye to transmit the precious Kalachakra Dharma throughout the five continents, and responding to the sincere prayers of disciples, the compassionate Holy Venerable once again set foot upon the beautiful land of Australia after an absence of ten years, to transmit the most supremely auspicious Kalachakra Tantra Dharma — the Great Dharma of Attaining Buddhahood.
依師傅吐登達爾吉上師的附矚,將珍貴的時輪金剛大法傳遍五大洲,並應弟子的虔誠祈求,闊別十年後,慈悲的聖尊再次踏上澳大利亞這一片美麗的南半球土地,為諸有緣弘傳了最為殊勝的時輪金剛本義法——成佛大法!
An Unprecedented Gathering盛況空前
The ceremony was hosted by Yanshan Leizang Temple of the True Buddha School at the Sydney Convention Centre, Darling Harbour. A most solemn Kalachakra mandala was erected, adorned with fresh flowers and all manner of offerings. Attendees came from the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Brazil — including 50 masters and many Westerners. The fan-shaped main hall, capable of holding three to four thousand, was almost full. Over three thousand people attended this auspicious gathering.
盛況空前的時輪金剛大法會由真佛宗嚴山雷藏寺主辦,在悉尼達令港會議中心設置了非常莊嚴的時輪金剛壇城,並以鮮花及各種供品佈滿了護摩壇城。殊勝的法會除了本地的信眾之外,還有來自美國、加拿大、香港、臺灣、馬來西亞、印尼、新加坡、英國和巴西等地各級弘法人員及善信。其中有50名上師,還有許多西洋人士,能容納三、四千觀眾的大會場幾乎坐滿。逾三千人參加此盛會。
Precepts, Initiation, and Transmission賜戒灌頂傳法
The compassionate Holy Venerable conferred the monastic precepts and lay Bodhisattva precepts: two Australian disciples received the monastic precepts, and 28 disciples received the lay Bodhisattva precepts. After the Homa, the Holy Venerable conferred upon the fortunate attendees the most precious initiations: the Kalachakra Tantra Dharma, the Marichi Bodhisattva Dharma, the Seven Great Dharmas of the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond, and the Instant Wealth Dharma. Over three thousand people received initiations — truly a once-in-a-thousand-years karmic encounter of supreme auspiciousness.
慈悲的師尊賜授出家戒和在家菩薩戒,兩位澳洲的弟子得受出家戒,28位弟子得受在家菩薩戒。護摩後,慈悲的聖尊為幸運的與會大眾賜予時輪金剛本義法、摩利支天菩薩法、瑤池金母七大法以及馬上有錢法的灌頂。逾三千人接受了灌頂,場面非常壯觀,實乃千載難逢,法緣佛緣殊勝!
Requesting the Buddha to Remain in the World請佛住世
Most moving of all was the "Requesting the Buddha to Remain in the World" ceremony offered by the volunteers and fellow practitioners of Yanshan Leizang Temple. Accompanied by deeply moving music, more than twenty people knelt below the stage and sang the "Prayer Requesting the Buddha to Remain in the World" — their sincere actions a heartfelt prayer for the Guru Buddha to remain and turn the Dharma wheel. The scene was deeply moving, drawing tears from all present.
最令人感動的是由嚴山雷藏寺的義工和同門獻上的請佛住世儀式,伴隨著深情的音樂,20多人跪在台下唱頌著《請佛住世祈願文》,大家以實際行動虔誠地祈求師佛住世,大轉法輪,場面非常感人,催人淚下。
