Dear Dhamma Friends, Brothers and Sisters:

Very Happy to see every one come gathering in our Hermitage for Vassavaso today.
It is an auspicious day due to following our Lord Buddha’s important teaching. For the
auspicious and important tradition, we invite three senior monks from Sri Lanka to saf
ely stay here for three months raining season retreat.

By following our Lord Buddha’s tradition and monk precepts, all of Sangha Order mu
st to get a safe place to have an intensive self-retreat during Vassa period. This traditio
n is protected and practiced very well by people’s faith, no matter ordained one or lay
people up to now. All of the nuns and lay yogi, and devotee should try their best to foll
ow this Dhamma tradition to have a self-retreat in Vassa period and stay with us for m
editation.

To have a peaceful mind by purification is so important and so benefit to our lives. It

will bring us great happiness and brightness by a beautiful mind. It is like a torch light
to lead a path for a safe place in the darkness.

During this period, we put down all of the sasana jobs and service for fully mind conce
ntrating our three training, fighting for liberation and struggling for three training with
effort. So, in this period we won’t easy to go out, won’t stay out of this hermitage or th
e boundary by our determination over seven days and six nights.

Bringing up the noble eightfold path on us is so important, because this is a path of pur
ification to lead a liberation. When we practice by following Dhamma, that means Bud
dha sasana still last in this world. As a Buddhist, this is valuable for us. We should kee
p in mind and accumulate merits and paramee by practice.

Welcome to our hermitage no matter for Dana or Meditation.

By the merit power of Lord Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha, wish everyone a happy lif
e.
By the merit power of this wholesome deed, sharing our happy and peaceful with all o
f deva and whole world beings.
By the merit power of following Dhamma, wish all attain path fruition.

Happy Vassa!!!

各位法友，各位兄弟姊妹們：

今天入雨安居日非常開心見到大家在禪院相聚。因為跟隨著佛陀重要的教誨

，所以今天是一個吉祥日。禪院為此而邀請斯里蘭卡的三位僧團長老，來這裡

安然度過三個月的雨安居修持。

基於跟隨佛陀教誨及比庫戒律，雨安居期間所有佛陀教法內的僧團，都應當

尋找一個安全合適的地方來進行自己內心的密集修持。時至今日，這個傳統無

論是在家或出家，仍然透過人們的信心來保護與實踐。所有的尼師、在家禪修

者、以及信徒們，在雨安居期間也應該盡全力跟隨佛陀教法，和我們一起進行

自己內心的修持，一起禪修。

透過淨化而安寧心地，對我們的生命是多麼有幫助、多麼地重要。清淨而安

寧的心，是美麗的心，美麗的心將帶給生命無與倫比的光明和幸福 。它猶如一

把火炬，在黑暗中照亮前路去向安穩處。

雨安居期間，我們將放下所有教法內的一般弘法事務，心無旁騖地修學戒定

慧三學；為解脫生命的苦而戰鬥，為成就戒定慧三學而精勤奮鬥。所以，這段

期間我們不會隨便外出，如果必須出門，我們不會外出超過決意安居的範圍七

天六夜。
在我們自身培育起八正道是如此重要，因為它是引領解脫輪迴的清淨之道。

當我們跟隨佛陀的教法修行，這表示佛陀的教法仍舊住在世間。作為一個佛教

徒，這一點對我們而言是極其珍貴的。我們應該將它謹記在心，透過修學佛法

來累積美好的心靈資糧，也就是福報和波羅蜜。

歡迎大家到禪院來佈施供養以及禪修。

願此佛、法、僧三寶功德力，祝福大家擁有快樂的生命；

願此安居善行功德力，與諸天神及世間有情分享我們的快樂與安寧；

願此法隨法行功德力，祝福大家體證道果。

雨安居快樂！

一夜賢者禪院
