國際佛光青年團是國際佛光會世界總會屬下的一個團隊,于1996年3 月24日在美國的加利弗利亞州,洛杉磯市的西來寺正式成立。在短短的六年内,世界各地已經成立了108個青年團分會,並積極的推動及鼓勵當地的青年負起弘揚佛
法的責任。
在積極推行星雲大師人間佛教的理念之下,新加坡佛光緣于1996 年12 月8 日成立。也在一個月内,組織了國際佛光會新加坡青年團。並于1997 年3 月1 日在臺灣的佛光山,星雲大師的見證下,正式成立。
新加坡佛光青年團謹遵國際佛光會青年團的宗旨,在本地積極的向新加坡青年推動及弘揚佛法。
在過去這幾年内,我們舉辦了許多活動。 例如:青年讀書會,佛教青年的發展討論會,集體創作營,家庭競技活動等等。我們希望通過這些活動,向青年們推動人間佛教的理念,讓佛法受用於他們的日常生活之中,以此走向光明大道,有更美好的人生。
我們也希望通過青年團來團結本地的佛教青年,同時給于精神上的資糧与支助,並為社會的安定和福利付出一份力量。
新加坡佛光青年團歡迎您加入我們的活動或幫忙支援我們的活動。在大家的共同努力下,佛教將會有一個更燦爛,更美好的明天。
Buddha’s Light Association, Young Adult Division (YAD) is under the umbrella of the Buddha’s Light International Association. It was inaugurated on 24 March 1996 in Hsi Lai Temple at Los Angeles, California, USA. In less than six years, it had set up one hundred and eight branches world wide, mobilizing and motivating the local youths to shoulder the task of propagating the Dharma. With the objective of promoting Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s philosophy of ‘Humanistic Buddhism’, Fo Guan Yuan (Singapore) was set up on 8 December 1996. Her YAD was set up within a month. Thereafter, YAD Singapore was officially inaugurated by Ven Master Hsing Yun on 1 March 1997 in Fo Guan Shan (Taiwan). Keeping the objectives of the Young Adult Division in mind, YAD Singapore upholds the task to promote Buddhism to the local youths. In the past, we have organized many activities like: ‘Book Reading Club for the Youth’; Seminar on the ‘Development of the Buddhist Youths’; ‘Team Building Camp’; ‘Family Telematch’ etc. Through these activities, we wish to promote ‘Humanistic Buddhism’ to the youths so as to lead them to be able to practise Buddhism in their daily lives. This way, the youths will be able to walk the correctr path and lead a better life. We also hope that the YAD would be able to unite the Buddhist Youths for mutual spiritual supports and to contribute to the well being of the country. Singapore BLIA Young Adult Division welcomes YOU to join us in our activities and help organize events for everybody. Through everybody’s efforts, Buddhism will have a brighter tomorrow!
