【感恩義工・成就莊嚴：劍橋浴佛法會背後默默付出的身影】

一個莊嚴法會的成辦，背後需要多少雙默默付出的雙手？
如善友的心得所言：「從這些義工身上，我看到了愛心、無私和奉獻精神，也看到了大家為了成就一件善事而全心投入的身影。」

今天，我們想特別將這份感恩與隨喜，獻給在幕後默默承擔的每一位善友義工：

【悉心莊嚴壇城的指尖】
感恩花藝義工親自挑選當季盛開的芍藥與時令鮮花。在法會前夕專注投入，才有了當天滿溢的花香與無比莊嚴的壇城。

【無私開放教室護持】
感恩屋主夫婦將空間改建成舒適明亮的教室，提供明亮莊嚴的學習空間。更有師兄連夜準備遮陽設施、默默搬運大傘與風扇，是法會背後最堅實的後盾。

【萬里護持法寶與美味心意】
感恩班長帶著許廣論與法會用品遠從台灣前來護持英國同學，感恩同修準備了精緻的壽桃酥，讓大家感受到滿滿的心意。

【用鏡頭定格珍貴回憶的紀錄者】
感恩每次活動都默默肩負全場拍攝與錄影工作的同修，並在活動結束後花費大量心血整理照片與影片，將這份法喜傳遞出去。

【法會經驗傳遞分享】
感恩廣東話班同學無私將舉辦浴佛法會的經驗傳承給劍橋班的同學，讓劍橋班同學第一次承辦法會更順暢。

感謝所有默默付出的義工，讓佛菩薩與師長的清淨教法在英國的土地上綻放出如此溫暖的光芒。

【Gratitude to Our Volunteers: The Silent Hands Behind the Cambridge Buddha Bathing Puja】
How many pairs of silent, dedicated hands does it take to manifest a grand and solemn Puja?
As a virtuous friend beautifully reflected: "In these volunteers, I witnessed true love, selflessness, and the spirit of devotion—everyone fully immersing themselves to accomplish a virtuous deed."

Today, we dedicate our deepest gratitude and rejoice to every virtuous friend and volunteer who contributed unconditionally behind the scenes:

【The Hands That Adorned the Altar】
Thank you to our flower arrangement volunteers who personally selected in-season blooming peonies and fresh blossoms. Their focused devotion on the eve of the Puja filled the room with a sublime fragrance and established a breathtakingly solemn altar.

【Unconditional Support by Opening the Classroom】
Our immense gratitude goes to the hosts who transformed their space into the comfortable, bright, and solemn "SOW Classroom" for our learning. Special thanks to the brother who worked through the night installing sunshades and silently moved large parasols and fans to keep everyone comfortable—he was truly the most steadfast backbone behind the scenes.

【A Journey of Ten Thousand Miles with Dharma Treasures & Heartfelt Devotion】
Deepest gratitude to our class leader, who traveled all the way from Taiwan with boxes of Lamrim texts and Puja supplies to support the practitioners in the UK. We also extend our appreciation to the fellow practitioner who prepared exquisite longevity peach pastries, bringing warmth to everyone's heart.

【The Lens That Preserved Our Shared Memories】
Thank you to the fellow practitioner who quietly shouldered the photography and videography from start to finish, dedicating immense time and effort post-event to edit the photos and videos so that this pure Dharma joy could be shared and passed on.

【The Passing Down of Puja Experience】
Our sincere gratitude to the practitioners from the Cantonese Lamrim class, who unselfishly passed down their valuable experience in organizing the Buddha Bathing Puja to the Cambridge class, enabling our team to run the event much more smoothly for our very first time.

Thank you to all our silent volunteers. It is because of your dedication that the pure teachings of the Buddhas and our spiritual teachers can shine with such warm and brilliant light upon the land of the United Kingdom.

【清淨法喜・2026 劍橋浴佛節法會迴響 】

「現代交通已排除了萬難，幾百公里路程，只繫上一張車票，和一個願心，多容易。」（汝竹）

五月的劍橋陽光燦爛，英國福智（BWUK）主辦的浴佛節法會已圓滿成辦。現場三十多位來自蘇格蘭、曼徹斯特、倫敦與劍橋等地的善友同修，跨越地域的距離，齊聚在清淨的籽光教室，共沐佛恩。
我們將這份點滿異鄉夜空的法喜與感動，集結成珍貴的修持紀錄。感恩同行善友們的至誠回饋，讓我們一同隨喜這場由師長加持、眾人願力成辦的殊勝因緣：

點亮英倫的弘法願心
「這次遠距協同劍橋同學一起護持法會，從規劃到細節，遠距恭迎佛像飛抵英國、祈請和尚關懷……一切都得師加持，非常順利。看著與會每位同學專注供養與浴佛，每張虔誠的臉，末學真的無比隨喜、歡喜！」（毓鍵）

純淨依止的萬里同行
「經過一天的車程，沿路看到的都是生機盎然的麥田與嫩綠。在英國，幾百公里路程只繫上一張車票和一個願心。參加實體現場法會使我非常愉悅，法喜滿滿。日後團體再辦活動，我一定會再來！」（汝竹）

明心見性的法業迴向
「整場法會，大家共造善業，思惟佛陀不可思議的身語意業功德。祈願佛陀加持，眾生皆能早日明心見性，找回本自具足、如如不動的圓滿佛性，證得無上正等正覺！」（甄軍）

默默行持的菩薩身影
「特別感恩高師姐與賴師姐帶著沉重行李遠赴前來，無私奉獻的精神深深感動著我。也無比感恩June夫婦，將車庫改建成舒適優美的教室、默默在背後搬運大傘擋陽。Jessica亦非常用心，當天帶來很多餅乾甜點供大家賞用，應節的壽桃造型甜點精緻漂亮，令人印象深刻，而且十分美味，感受到她滿滿的心意。更有默默肩負拍攝及錄影、為大家留下珍貴回憶的彥君，真的非常偉大。從這些義工身上，我看到了愛心、無私與奉獻。」（善友Ｊ）

願以此承辦與隨喜之功德，迴向正法久住、師長身體安康，一切有情皆能共沐佛恩，於異鄉種下究竟成佛的清淨資糧。

【Pure Dharma Joy • Echoes from the 2026 Cambridge Buddha Bathing Puja 】
"Modern transportation has overcome all hardships. A journey of hundreds of miles requires nothing more than a train ticket and a heart of aspiration. How effortless it has become." — Ru-Zhu

Under the brilliant May sunshine in Cambridge, the Buddha Bathing Puja hosted by Bliss Wisdom UK (BWUK) concluded with perfect harmony. Over thirty virtuous friends and fellow practitioners from Scotland, Manchester, London, and Cambridge transcended geographical distances to gather at the serene SOW Classroom, gathering together in the Buddha’s profound grace.

We have gathered this Dharma joy and moving inspiration, which illuminated the night sky of this foreign land, into a precious record of practice. With deepest gratitude for the heartfelt reflections shared by our fellow practitioners, let us rejoice together in this sublime occasion manifested through the blessings of our teachers and the collective aspirations of all:

Illuminating the Aspiration for Dharma Propagation in the UK
"Supporting this puja alongside the Cambridge practitioners—from the initial planning to every intricate detail, welcoming the Buddha statue as it inshrined into the UK, and inviting the care of the Abbot—everything was beautifully accomplished through the blessings of our teachers. Seeing the focused devotion on every single face during the offerings and the bathing of the Buddha, I am filled with boundless rejoice and joy!" — Jane

A Journey of Ten Thousand Miles in Pure Reliance
"After a full day's journey, the scenery along the way was filled with vibrant green and thriving wheat fields. In the UK, a distance of hundreds of miles is connected simply by a ticket and an aspiration. Attending the physical festival brought me immense joy and left me thoroughly filled with the bliss of Dharma. I will certainly return for any future events our community hosts!" — Ru-Zhu

Dharma Dedication for Awakening to True Nature
"Throughout the puja, everyone accumulated virtuous karma together, contemplating the inconceivable merits of the Buddha's body, speech, and mind. May the blessings of the Buddha guide all sentient beings to awaken to their true nature early on, rediscover the inherently complete and unmovable perfect Buddha-nature, and ultimately attain the Peerless Ultimate Enlightenment!" — Jennifer

The Bodhisattva Silhouettes Moving Silently in Action
"Special thanks to Sister Kao and Sister Lai, who traveled all the way from Taiwan with heavy luggage filled with texts and festival supplies; their spirit of selfless dedication deeply moved me. I am also immensely grateful to June and her husband, who transformed their garage into a comfortable and elegant classroom, and silently worked in the background carrying large umbrellas to shield us from the sun. Jessica was also incredibly thoughtful, bringing beautiful and delicious longevity peach pastries that left a lasting impression. Furthermore, Yen-Chun, who quietly shouldered the photography and videography from start to finish to capture these precious memories for everyone, is truly wonderful. In these volunteers, I witnessed true love, selflessness, and the spirit of devotion." — Dharma Friend J

May the merits of organizing and rejoicing in this festival be dedicated to the long endurance of the Sublime Dharma, the health and well-being of our teachers, and may all sentient beings share in the Buddha’s grace, planting the ultimate seeds of enlightenment in this foreign land.

Weekly Lamrim Study Reflection ｜ In the End, What Shapes Our Future Is the Mind

Saturday arrived again — the day we always look forward to for our Cambridge Lamrim class.

Every week, as we gather online to study the Lamrim teachings together, listening to the teacher’s explanations and everyone’s personal reflections, it truly feels like Buddhism is not something far away from daily life. Instead, it is a gradual process of learning to understand our own minds.

This week, we studied the section on the “weight of karma.”

In the past, we often thought:
a good deed is simply a good deed,
and a bad deed is simply a bad deed.

But this lesson helped us realize that even when two actions appear similar, their karmic weight can be completely different.

The difference is not only in the action itself,
but in the state of mind behind it.

The Lamrim teaches that among all forms of giving, offering the Dharma is the most supreme.
Among all offerings, practicing the teachings sincerely is the highest offering.

The scriptures even say:
if a bodhisattva never departs from the wish to benefit all beings, then even offering a single flower can create immeasurable merit.

Hearing this touched many of us deeply.

Because in daily life, we often focus on how much we have done,
but rarely stop to ask:
“With what kind of mind am I doing it?”

Sometimes we may appear to do many good things outwardly, yet inside we are filled with comparison, expectation, or resentment.
At other times, even a tiny act of kindness may come from a very sincere and pure heart.

And often, it is that single thought — that intention — which truly determines the strength of karma.

Another part that left a strong impression on us this week was the teaching on anger.

The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life says that virtues accumulated over a long time can be greatly damaged by a single intense moment of anger.

It sounds shocking, yet also very true.

Sometimes we do not intentionally hurt others.
We simply feel justified when emotions arise.
We complain, criticize, or hold onto resentment because we feel wronged.

But the Dharma slowly teaches us that the thing most needing protection is actually our own mind.

Because much of our suffering begins from a single unguarded thought.

Later in the lesson, we also studied the results of the ten non-virtuous actions.
Many of life’s experiences, habits, and relationships are not random at all.

Short lifespan, poverty, hearing unpleasant words, disharmony in relationships —
these can all be continuations of past karma and mental habits.

Learning about karma is not meant to make us fearful.
Rather, it encourages us to take responsibility for every thought and intention we create.

Perhaps practice is not about suddenly becoming extraordinary.
Perhaps it is simply learning, again and again:

to have more awareness when emotions arise,
more reflection before criticizing,
more rejoicing when others do good,
and more repentance when we make mistakes.

May we continue, through each Lamrim class,
to slowly soften our hearts,
and gradually turn wholesome thoughts into a natural way of life.

☕ Leave a little time for the heart to sit quietly with Lamrim, like sharing a warm cup of tea.
— Reflections from the Cambridge Lamrim Study Group

本週廣論學習分享｜原來，真正影響未來的是「心」

又到了每週最期待的廣論課。

星期六晚上，大家一起在線上研討《廣論》，從法師的開示，到同學們的生活分享，都讓人覺得：學佛，真的不是離生活很遠的事，而是慢慢學著看懂自己的心。

這星期學到《廣論》中「業的輕重」。

以前總覺得，做善事就是做善事、做壞事就是做壞事。
但這堂課讓我們明白：
原來同樣一件事，力量卻可能差很多。

差別不只在事情大小，
而是在——我們是用什麼樣的心去做。

《廣論》提到，布施裡面，最殊勝的是法布施；
供養裡面，最重要的是如法修行的供養。

甚至經典說：
如果一位菩薩不離利益眾生的心，即使只是供養一朵花，福德也非常巨大。

聽到這裡，大家都很有感。

因為生活中，我們常常很在意「做了多少」，
卻很少回頭看看：「我是用什麼心在做？」

有時候表面做了很多，內心卻充滿比較、期待、委屈；
有時候只是小小一個善念，卻可能很真誠、很清淨。

而真正決定業力大小的，往往就是那一念心。

這週另一個讓人印象很深的，是關於「瞋心」的部分。

《入行論》說，長久累積的善業，可能因為一念強烈的瞋恚而受到很大的損害。

聽起來很震撼，卻也很真實。

有時候我們不是故意傷人，
只是情緒上來時，覺得自己「有道理」；
只是忍不住想抱怨、想批評；
只是覺得對方讓自己受委屈了。

但佛法讓我們慢慢看到：
真正最需要被照顧的，其實是自己的內心。

因為很多苦，都是從那一念不調伏開始的。

後面課程也提到十不善業的等流果。
原來生命中很多習慣、遭遇、人際關係，都不是偶然。

短命、貧乏、常聽不悅耳的話、眷屬不和……
很多時候，都是過去業力與內心串習的延續。

學習業果，不是讓人害怕，
而是讓我們開始願意對自己的起心動念負責。

修行，好像也不是一下子變得多厲害。
而是一次又一次地提醒自己：

在情緒起來時，多一點覺察；
在想批評時，多一點觀照；
在看見別人行善時，多一點隨喜；
在自己做錯時，多一點懺悔。

願我們都能在一堂又一堂的廣論課裡，
慢慢學著把心放柔軟，
也慢慢學著，讓善念變成習慣。

☕ 留一點時間，讓心跟著廣論喝一口茶。

Like the earth and the other elements, may I always be the sustainer of all the boundless sentient beings in every way." ( from Bodhicharyavatara - A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life)

May we always aspire to, and actively practice, helping all sentient beings.

如空及四大，願我恆成為，無量眾有情，資生大根本。 （入行論第三品）

祈願我們經常能夠發心並身體力行幫助一切眾生。

When we use eyes of gratitude
to gaze in all directions
we unearth:

trees offering their cool shade,
flowers offering their fresh fragrance,
parents offering their great love.

And I—
what can I offer in return?

—— What Can I Offer, Kindling Hope, Zhen Ru

🌼

當我們用感恩的眼睛向四方環顧，我們會發現：
樹貢獻了它的綠蔭、花貢獻了它的芬芳、
父母貢獻了他們的慈愛……
而我自己要為這一切貢獻什麼呢？

This Week’s Lamrim Study Reflection｜Even a Small Thought Is Not a Small Matter (Chinese version follows below/ 中文內容請往下滑）

It is Saturday again — a joyful time for the Cambridge Lamrim Class to study together.

This week, we studied a section of the Lamrim about the weight of karma. During the class, we also shared with one another how they connect the Dharma they have learned with their own life experiences. Listening to these reflections, we felt as if the wisdom for living was gradually being opened. It also made us feel that investing our weekend time in this kind of learning is truly worthwhile.

The Lamrim reminds us:

The same wholesome or unwholesome action may carry different strength depending on the object we are facing and the state of our own mind.

When the object is the Three Jewels, our teachers, our parents, or someone who genuinely aspires to benefit sentient beings, even a single thought of respect, one word of praise, or a little support may become a very powerful wholesome cause.

On the other hand, if we show contempt, criticism, or obstruction toward the good deeds of others, even if it is only one sentence or one thought, it may create very heavy karma.

This touched us deeply.

Sometimes, we think we are only saying something casually.
Sometimes, we think it is only a small matter.
Sometimes, when we do not understand another person’s motivation, we are quick to judge.

But the Lamrim gradually teaches us:

Within cause and effect, nothing is truly insignificant.

This week, we also learned that the foundation of one’s mind is very important.

Making mistakes is not the most frightening thing. What matters is whether we can see our mistakes, repent, and change.

True wisdom is not never having made a mistake. True wisdom is being willing, after making a mistake, to guard our mind and no longer follow our afflictions.

After studying Buddhism, we slowly come to understand:

Practice is not only in the shrine hall, nor only within the two hours of class.

Practice is found before a sentence leaves our mouth.
It is found when a thought arises.
It is found when we see others doing good and ask whether we can rejoice.
It is found when we make a mistake and ask whether we can repent.

May we, through each study session,

have a little less contempt and a little more respect;
a little less criticism and a little more rejoicing;
a little less carelessness and a little more caution.

Because even a little goodness can become the light of the future;
and even a little awareness can slowly guide our hearts toward greater clarity.

☕ Let us leave a little time for the heart to have a cup of tea with the Lamrim.

本週廣論學習分享｜小小的心念，也不是小事

又到了快樂的星期六，也是劍橋廣論班一起上課的時間。

這個星期，我們學到《廣論》中關於「業力輕重」的一段。課堂中，同學們也彼此分享，如何把學到的佛法，結合自己的生活經歷。聽著大家的分享，真的會覺得生活的智慧慢慢被打開，也更覺得值得把假日的時間，投資在這樣的學習上。

《廣論》提醒我們：
同樣是一件善事或惡事，因為面對的對象不同、自己的內心狀態不同，力量也會不一樣。

如果面對三寶、師長、父母，或真正發心利益眾生的人，一念恭敬、一句讚歎、一點護持，都可能成為很大的善因。

相反地，如果對他人的善行起輕慢、批評、障礙，哪怕只是一句話、一個念頭，也可能造下很重的業。

這讓我們很有感觸。

有時候，我們以為只是隨口說一句話；
有時候，我們以為只是小小一件事；
有時候，我們看不懂別人的發心，就很快下判斷。

但《廣論》慢慢教我們：
在因果裡，沒有真正微不足道的事。

這週也學到，人的內心基礎很重要。

做錯事不可怕，重要的是能不能看見、能不能懺悔、能不能改。
真正的智慧，不是從來沒有犯錯，而是犯錯以後，願意防護自己的心，不再隨順煩惱。

學佛以後，我們才慢慢明白：
修行不只是在佛堂裡，也不只是在上課的兩個小時裡。

修行就在一句話出口之前，
在一個念頭生起的時候，
在看見別人行善時，我們能不能隨喜；
在自己做錯時，我們能不能懺悔。

願我們在每一次學習中，
少一點輕慢，多一點恭敬；
少一點批評，多一點隨喜；
少一點隨便，多一點謹慎。

因為一點點善，也能成為未來的光；
一點點覺察，也能讓我們的心，慢慢走向更清明的方向。

☕ 留一點時間，讓心跟著廣論喝一口茶。
