Behold, the stage transforms into a vibrant spring garden.
With skirts fluttering like flower petals in the breeze, the dancers glide and twirl gracefully, as if blossoms dancing with the wind.
May this performance, "A Flourish of Flowers," present the garden's fragrance and vitality right before your eyes and within your heart, heralding a splendid year ahead and dancing through timeless beauty across the seasons!

The "Universal Celebration" dance expresses joyous movements, as if all sentient beings in the Dharma realm are bathed in the Buddha's grace, showcasing compassion and equality. Its interplay of motion and stillness illustrates the state of "Dharma joy," using artistic expression to convey peace and harmony—a solemn manifestation of the pure land on earth.

Dance of "The Rhythm of Victory"
The spirit of the horse lies in its loyalty, courage, and unwavering endurance, making it humanity’s most reliable friend and capable assistant. In Chinese culture, the horse is regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness and good fortune, carrying the meaning of wishing others success.

As the Year of the Horse approaches, the scholar dancers of Miao De Bodhisattva Society Foundation will perform the “Dance of The Rhythm of Victory" for everyone. We hope to bring auspiciousness and good fortune, growth in wisdom and blessings, peace and well-being to all families, and to usher in a bright and beautiful new year filled with hope and prosperity.

In recognition of the contributions of our beloved senior citizens to society and as a gesture of respect, the Miao De Chan Temple organized a program entitled "Respect and Repaying Gratitude to the Aged" held last October 19, 2025. The event provided an opportunity for our esteemed seniors to gather and spend time together. They were also given an introduction to the life of Amitabha Buddha. Furthermore, they were instructed on how to chant the name of Amituofo and to meditate for the peace and comfort of their hearts and minds. Each participant received a snack bag and financial assistance to support their needs.

大雅台妙德禪寺慶祝佛誕浴佛祈福報親恩法會功德圓滿

《歡慶佛誕，浴佛淨心，禮敬三寶，福慧廣增》

欣逢本師釋迦牟尼佛聖誕，妙德禪寺、妙德菩薩學會、妙德佛堂特於2025年5月16日至18日，於美加廣場聯合舉辧了三天浴佛祈福報恩法會。
參與法會的每個人，都以一顆虔敬、歡喜、感恩的心，共同為喧嘩的塵世，闢建起一方清淨的道場。當聲聲佛號穿透琳琅貨架，伴隨著佛陀慈心聖德的感召，讓過往的人潮由衷的低眉合掌默禱，連稚氣的孩童也專注的踮腳沐佛⋯這一幕幕純真的景象，正是人間最美的福田風景。
此次法會得以順利圓滿，首當感恩十方三寶諸佛菩薩的慈光加被護佑，和美加商場提供場地等協助，還有妙德志工團隊的通力合作，及十方善信的大力護持，還有瑞妙上人教育基金會學員的精彩表演，才能成就這麼殊勝的善因緣，讓許多市民得以歡喜參與浴佛祈福報恩法會，大家一起發心為＂世界和平，國泰民安＂而祝禱。
＂法會無門檻，善根植人心＂法會現場佈置清淨莊嚴，走進花團錦簇的＂藍毗尼園”拱門，仿若回歸佛陀降生人間的美妙時刻，讓人無限感動的生起禮敬之心。當我們以香花淨水供養太子聖像，禮讚本師釋迦牟尼佛的聖德時，不僅是紀念佛陀的誕生，更是一場洗滌心靈、覺照生命的修行。眼看父母牽著孩童的小手一同參與浴佛勝會，這份跨越信仰的真心，正是彰顯佛陀慈悲平等護念一切衆生的感人寫照。
經典記載佛陀誕生時，天上九龍吐水沐浴金身，太子一手指天、一手指地說出「天上天下，唯我獨尊」的宣言，此處的「我」並非指肉身的自我，而是指人人本具的佛性。佛陀示現人間，正是為了啟發一切衆生皆有佛性，皆有覺醒成佛的可能；所以浴佛的儀式，正是提醒我們要以清淨法水，洗滌內心的無明塵垢，回歸清淨本源的佛性。 《浴佛功德經》云：「以法水灌沐如來，亦以自心淨除三毒。」當我們奉持香湯從佛陀肩頭徐徐澆灌，正好觀想這清涼法水流淌過自己的身口意，願：貪欲如濁水滌淨，願：瞋恨如熱惱止息，願：愚癡如暗室明照。所以每一勺水皆是一念覺醒，每一次浴佛皆是對自我的覺照和淨化。
真正的修行不在儀式的繁簡，而是在心地的轉化。六祖惠能大師曾開示：「一念修行，自身等佛。」我們不可只執著於外在的浴佛，而忽略以佛法洗滌煩惱的醒覺，以避免＂入寶山而空手歸＂的遺憾。所以浴佛的真義是將佛陀的教誨融入生活中，面對逆境時，學習佛陀的忍辱精神，以寬容慈悲心待人處世；起心動念時，以正法智慧自我觀照，真實體現佛陀悲智雙運、自覺覺他、自利利他的無量功德。 所以慶祝佛誕的重點，在於喚醒眾生內在的覺性，常行「三業浴佛」：以柔和善語清淨口業，以佈施持戒莊嚴身業，以正法覺照澄明意業，才能身處塵世不染濁，猶如蓮花出淤泥而不染，這即是報佛深恩的最上供養。
法會雖落幕，善緣永續存。祈願佛法清泉源遠流長，潤澤無盡衆生的心田；讓今日種下的善因，成就他日的圓滿菩提。最後祈願：佛光普照，世界和平，國泰民安，佛法興隆，人民安樂，共成佛道！阿彌陀佛！

Miao De Chan Temple and Miao De Bodhisattva Society Foundation Celebrate Sakyamuni Buddha's birthday.

18/05/2025

In Buddhism, the lotus symbolizes the awakened nature that "emerges unstained from the mud," signifying how sentient beings can manifest their pristine Buddha-nature despite dwelling in the mire of afflictions. Its growth process mirrors the spiritual journey: roots anchored in the suffering of samsara, stem penetrating with Middle Way wisdom, and blossoms unfolding ultimate enlightenment. The lotus' hollow yet upright form, with petals unfurling in perfect sequence, embodies the harmonious Triune Truth described in sutras as "One is All." Through their dance, Miaode students physically manifest the arising and ceasing of karma—buds representing the initial arising of bodhicitta, full blooms signifying the blossoming of prajñā wisdom, and wilting petals demonstrating the impermanence of all phenomena. Please appreciate this dance "Summer Lotus" with a mind of pure non-attachment, and in the rhythm of breath, contemplate the pristine lotus of your inherent nature.

The radiant lanterns illuminate the Prajñā wisdom-light, while fluttering silks intertwine like karmic threads. With every gesture embodying the joy of dependent origination, the virtuosic dancers reveal the profound truth - "In every verdant bamboo lies the complete Dharma Body." May this joyful offering awaken all beings to perceive the present clarity, dancing forth their pristine nature amidst impermanent illusions. Now witness the collision of traditional essence and modern choreography, as millennial culture shimmers in glorious splendor upon the stage! Let your applause welcome the dance spectacle - "Lanterns Alight, Silks Aflutter"!
