Mindfulness with Mooncake Making

观月观心 · 借境练心
Gaze upon the moon, and reflect upon the heart;
embrace each circumstance as a path to cultivate the mind.

As you see the moon, remember your Buddha-nature.
The moon remains bright even when clouds pass before it.
Likewise, our peaceful and compassionate nature is always within us.

☁️ When the “clouds” arise — greed, anger and ignorance —
pause, notice them, and let them pass.

As you prepare, share and enjoy mooncakes over the next 1½ months,
may each moment become a practice of mindfulness.

Pause. Breathe. Return to your mindful heart.
Then choose a response that is kinder, wiser and more compassionate.

May every mooncake remind you:

See the moon → Remember your Buddha-nature →
Notice the clouds → Let go → Choose compassion.

19July 2026 小班

在课上，我们介绍了农历七月十五——佛欢喜日，也是盂兰盆节（俗称中元节）的由来与意义。这是一个孝亲报恩、追思与感念先人的日子。

在庆祝盂兰盆节之前，我们希望先带领孩子认识这个佛教节日的意义，为他们建立正知、正见。为孩子们说目犍连尊者救母的故事。当孩子了解佛教对生命、孝亲、感恩与因果的教导，日后面对各种民间习俗时，便不会因误解而心生恐惧，而能以慈悲、感恩与追思的心，善待他人、珍惜生命，并尊重身边的一切。

灯，象征着光明、智慧与希望。点灯的真正意义，不在于灯火本身，而是 点灯•点心灯 提醒我们驱散内心的无明，增长智慧，点亮心中的慈悲。当我们愿意成为一盏明灯，不仅照亮自己的人生，也能为身边的人带来光明、温暖与希望。

佛教中，点灯供佛是一种修福修慧的善行。我们以至诚恭敬的心，于佛欢喜日供养佛陀，并将这份善业功德回向给历代祖先、过世亲人，以及一切有情众生，愿他们离苦得乐、福慧增长。

愿孩子们把课堂所学带回家，与家人一同点灯•点心灯；点亮智慧，增长慈悲，以感恩的心孝亲报恩，以善念温暖自己，也照亮他人，实践佛法所说的——自利利他，福慧双修。
