❤️ What a beautiful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together! ❤️

We are so grateful to share that our Bedsheet & Beach Towel Donation Drive benefiting Hospice of the Valley, organized by Buddha's Light International Association-Phoenix Chpater, has reached its goal! 🎉

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, spread the word, encouraged others to participate, or simply supported us along the way. Every contribution made a difference.

Each bedsheet and beach towel represents more than a donated item—it represents kindness, compassion, and a caring heart. When many people give a little, those small acts of generosity come together to create something truly meaningful. 🙏

Because of you, we are able to share comfort, warmth, and care with people in need. And that is what community is all about. ❤️

Thank you for opening your hearts, sharing your kindness, and being part of this wonderful effort.

We are truly blessed to have such a caring community standing together.

🌸 Thank you for being part of it. We’re so grateful for you!

佛光山鳳凰城禪淨中心與國際佛光會鳳凰城協會，自5月18日至5月23日特別發起溫馨的「在家雲水浴佛」活動。儘管正值亞利桑那州初夏，體感溫度逼近攝氏40度，鳳凰城佛光人依舊熱忱不減。義工們秉持佛光山開山祖師星雲大師「給人信心、給人歡喜、給人希望、給人方便」的精神，頂著烈日主動走出道場，將佛陀的慈悲與祝福直接送入信眾心中。

考量部分行動不便，或因工作忙碌而無法前往道場的護法信眾，義工們發揮集體創意，精心準備小巧莊嚴的行動式浴佛盤、悉達多太子聖像及繽紛鮮花，打造別具巧思的「雲水浴佛台」。義工們無懼滾滾熱浪，將莊嚴溫馨的「浴佛台」親自送至信眾家中及工作場所，讓無法親臨道場的信眾，也能就近浴佛祈願、同霑法喜。

此次精緻溫馨的雲水浴佛活動橫跨鳳凰城、錢德勒市及阿瓦圖基等三個地區，共前往五個站點，每一站都充滿人間佛教的感動與溫暖。當「浴佛台」出現在信眾家中與職場時，大家無不驚喜感動。

在清淨梵音中，信眾們在佛光人的引導下，虔誠舀起浴佛香湯，沐浴太子聖像，許多久未出門的長者及忙碌的上班族，內心充滿難以言喻的法喜。

高齡95歲的張黃菊英感動表示，沒想到在日常生活的角落裡，也能有因緣浴佛，深深感恩星雲大師提倡人間佛教，更感謝佛光人將「可愛的悉達多太子」送到身邊。陳丹妮一家三口趁著節日特別從外州返抵鳳凰城探望母親、也是資深佛光幹部畢慧賢。畢慧賢欣慰表示，感謝殊勝因緣成就，讓女兒一家人首次體驗浴佛，在溫馨祥和的氛圍中，為下一代種下清淨的菩提種子。

佛光人林千岱分享，30多年來守著家中的蛋糕店，為了生計與工作，從未有機會前往道場或參加協會活動。這是第二次參與雲水浴佛，當「浴佛台」送到店裡的那一刻，內心充滿難以言喻的感恩。她也期許未來能邀請更多朋友一起參與，同霑法益。

參與策劃活動的會員黃慧敏表示，雲水浴佛不僅是沐浴佛身，更是洗滌內心塵垢。義工們面對近40度高溫的考驗，利用私人時間成就這分跨越空間的「方便法門」，雖然行程奔波辛苦，卻讓更多人能夠浴佛，身心清淨。

透過此次活動，佛光人不僅凝聚社區善緣，更以實際行動實踐星雲大師「以人為本、入世與出世圓融」的人間佛教精神，讓佛陀慈悲法水滋潤每一個家庭與職場，為社會注入更多和諧與和平的力量。

A Double Celebration of Gratitude: Phoenix BLIA Volunteers Brave 104°F Heatwave as Buddha’s Birthday Aligns with Memorial Day

In a rare and auspicious coincidence, this year’s sacred Buddha’s Birthday falls on the United States Memorial Day holiday, May 25. To commemorate this double occasion of reflection and gratitude, the International Buddhist Association of Arizona (IBAA) and the Buddha’s Light International Association (BLIA) Phoenix Chapter launched a heartfelt “Bathing the Buddha at Home” initiative from May 18 to May 23.

The enthusiasm of BLIA Phoenix Chapter members remained undeterred despite Arizona temperatures nearing 40°C (104°F). Embodying the late Fo Guang Shan founder Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s philosophy of the “Four Givings” — giving others confidence, hope, joy, and convenience — volunteers devoted their personal time after work to deliver blessings directly into the hearts of devotees.

Mindful of elderly devotees with limited mobility and working professionals with demanding schedules, chapter members and volunteers united in a collective effort to create a compact and beautifully decorated mobile bathing station, complete with a bathing basin, a sacred statue of the infant Prince Siddhartha, and vibrant floral arrangements. The mobile station traveled across three cities — Phoenix, Chandler, and Ahwatukee — visiting five different locations.

The initiative deeply reflected the spirit of Humanistic Buddhism, bringing unexpected joy into homes and workplaces alike. Accompanied by the soothing chanting of the “Verses for Bathing the Buddha,” devotees reverently ladled water over the statue of Prince Siddhartha, moving several homebound elders and exhausted workers to tears of joy.

“I never imagined that I would be able to participate in the Bathing the Buddha ceremony in my own humble home,” said 95-year-old devotee Jui-Ying Huang, affectionately known as Mama Chang. Overcome with emotion, she expressed profound gratitude to the late Venerable Master Hsing Yun for propagating Humanistic Buddhism and thanked the volunteers for bringing the beloved Prince Siddhartha to her side.

The mobile bathing station also became a catalyst for a joyful multi-generational family reunion. Devotee Annie Chen and her family traveled from out of state during the holiday weekend to visit her mother, Hui-Xian Bi, a longtime BLIA Phoenix Chapter member. Sister Bi shared that the initiative allowed her daughter’s family to experience the home ritual for the first time, planting seeds of Dharma in the younger generation within a warm and loving atmosphere.

The outreach extended beyond residential homes and into local businesses. Qian-Dai Lin, a Fo Guang Shan devotee who has operated a family bakery with her husband for more than thirty years, shared that the relentless demands of running a business had long prevented her from visiting the temple or participating in chapter activities.

“This is only my second time participating in the Bathing the Buddha ceremony,” Lin said as the mobile station arrived at her bakery. “My heart is overflowing with gratitude beyond words.” She added that she hopes to invite more people to future Bathing the Buddha events so they, too, may receive blessings and experience the joy of the Dharma.

Memorial Day in the United States is traditionally a time of remembrance and honor. This year’s observance carried added significance as devotees also honored the birth of the Buddha. Event planner Megan Huang emphasized that Bathing the Buddha symbolizes the cleansing and purification of one’s mind and heart.

“Although the journey across three cities was long, the mission was deeply meaningful,” Huang said. “Through this initiative, we hope to foster harmony throughout our communities, spread joy and blessings, and instill hope and compassion in every household and workplace.”

鳳凰城禪淨中心母親節共修 傳燈六十報師恩母恩

適逢母親節，佛光山鳳凰城禪淨中心於5月10日舉辦「傳燈六十．百年仰望」共修祈福法會，並結合佛光山開山六十周年暨開山祖師星雲大師百歲誕辰系列紀念活動。信眾齊聚一堂，在法會共修、贈花祝福、齊聲歌唱與抄經修持中，以溫馨而莊嚴的方式表達對母親與師長的感恩之情，將世間孝心昇華為佛教「報四重恩」的實踐，現場氣氛溫暖動人，展現人間佛教以孝道為本的信仰精神。

監寺永善法師於活動中為大眾開示母親節的由來。法師表示，美國母親節源於安娜‧賈維斯（Anna Jarvis）對母親的深切懷念。1908年5月10日，她為追思亡母舉行紀念禮拜，並以白色康乃馨象徵母愛的純潔。經多年奔走倡議，終於在1914年促成美國政府立法，由總統威爾遜宣布每年五月第二個星期日為法定母親節。

談及母親節的真義，永善法師指出，母親節不僅是一個節日，更是一種提醒，讓人們回到生命最根本的感恩與孝道。這份跨越文化的情感，與佛教所倡導的「報父母恩」不謀而合。法師勉勵大眾，真正的孝順不在於物質的贈與或形式上的慶祝，而是在日常生活中多一分陪伴與關懷，更進一步將對父母的孝心擴展為對一切眾生的慈悲與關愛。

為表達對天下母親的祝福與敬意，永善法師特別於現場贈送康乃馨給與會大眾，並帶領全場齊聲高唱〈世上只有媽媽好〉。在熟悉動人的旋律中，許多信眾憶起母親養育之恩與無私付出，不禁潸然淚下，大雄寶殿內洋溢著感恩與溫情的氛圍。

祈福法會圓滿後，大眾續以抄經修持延續法喜。部分信眾留在大殿，在寧靜莊嚴的氛圍中虔誠抄寫《心經》，以一筆一畫沉澱身心。首次參與抄經的信眾陳祝瑩分享，在母親節這天透過抄經收攝身心，將功德回向父母與師長，不僅感受到內心的安定與清淨，也讓今年的母親節格外充滿意義與法喜。
🙏🙏🙏

Fo Guang Shan International Buddhist Association of Arizona Holds Mother’s Day Prayer Service Honoring Mothers and Mentors

In celebration of Mother’s Day, Fo Guang Shan International Buddhist Association of Arizona held a special prayer and Dharma service on May 10 titled “60 Years of Passing the Lamp, Honoring a 100-Year Legacy.” The event was part of a commemorative series marking the 60th anniversary of Fo Guang Shan and the centennial birth anniversary of its founder, Venerable Master Hsing Yun.

Devotees gathered in a warm yet solemn atmosphere for chanting, prayers, flower offerings, singing, and sutra transcription. Through these activities, participants expressed gratitude to their mothers and spiritual mentors, elevating filial piety into the Buddhist practice of repaying the “Four Great Kindnesses.” The event reflected the spirit of Humanistic Buddhism, which emphasizes gratitude and filial respect as the foundation of spiritual cultivation.

During the service, Venerable Yong Shan shared the origins of Mother’s Day, explaining that the American holiday began through the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who deeply mourned the passing of her mother. On May 10, 1908, Jarvis organized a memorial service in her mother’s honor and chose white carnations to symbolize the purity of maternal love. After years of advocacy, her efforts led the U.S. government to officially designate the second Sunday of May as Mother’s Day in 1914 through a proclamation issued by Woodrow Wilson.

Speaking on the deeper meaning of Mother’s Day, Venerable Yong Shan emphasized that the occasion is more than a celebration—it is a reminder to return to the fundamental values of gratitude and filial piety. She noted that this universal sentiment closely aligns with Buddhism’s teaching on repaying the kindness of one’s parents. She encouraged attendees to practice genuine filial devotion not only through gifts or formal celebrations, but through daily companionship, care, and concern. She further urged everyone to extend this love for their parents into compassion and kindness toward all beings.

To express blessings and respect for mothers everywhere, Venerable Yong Shan distributed carnations to attendees and led the congregation in singing the beloved Chinese folk song “Mother is the Best in This World.” As the familiar melody filled the room, many participants were moved to tears while reflecting on their mothers’ unconditional love and sacrifices. The gathering was filled with warmth, gratitude, and heartfelt emotion.

Following the prayer service, attendees continued their spiritual practice through sutra transcription. Many devotees remained quietly transcribing the Heart Sutra, calming their minds with each written character in the serene and reverent setting.

First-time participant Chantal Chan shared that transcribing the sutra on Mother’s Day helped her settle and focus her mind. By dedicating the merits of the practice to her parents and teachers, she experienced a deep sense of peace and purity, making this year’s Mother’s Day especially meaningful and spiritually uplifting.
