總會長的話

心保和尚

不忘初心 「〈初心〉就是最初發起的心，是自己對自己的承 諾。修行路上，要有「不忘初心」的熱忱，才有力量 讓我們持之以恆走下去。另外，學佛不能只看外相， 若將《釋迦牟尼佛傳》當成故事書般閱讀就太可惜 了，因為表面上是看到佛陀六年苦行，但無法了解佛 陀是憑什麼，能夠以一麻一麥過生活；因此要從中探索 心的力量，煩惱源自於心，要從內心下功夫。 星雲大師曾開示，進入佛門裡，並不是一下子就進入天 堂，需要苦修、苦學、苦練；但是一見到大眾的要求，一見到寺務繁重，一見到各種 服務，就灰心，覺得學佛怎麼要這麼辛苦，所以很多人就半途而廢。 善才童子不畏艱難，一路努力參訪善知識，都是因為不曾忘記自己初心的緣故， 所以，每回見到善知識，除了表示自己學習的決心，同時還會不斷提醒自己:「我是 發了菩提心的人，但我還不知道要如何修學菩薩道，我要對我的『初心』負責任。 星雲大師曾箸文自述，「不忘初心」讓他得到許多難遭難遇的助緣，大師年輕時 隻身到台灣，懷著一顆慈悲的心，一心要辦教育。對他來說，所有教育都有一個內涵 ――「發自內心的初心」：「只要有這份初心，教育就能辦得起來。大師常說『不忘 初心』，這正是『心的教育』。」 大師說，不忘初心，讓他得到許多善因好緣，「例如：我不懂建築，只憑著為佛 教培養人才的信念，就有多少因緣護持，成就了佛光山的開山；我沒有讀過書，但知 道教育的重要，也明白個人的力量有限，發起了『百萬人興學活動』，讓智慧留在人 間；我不會外文，但生起了『要將法水長流五大洲』的心願，再加上各地有心人士的 護持，從此走上國際弘法的道路。」 大師出家以後，念念於心的，就是「為了佛教」，為了佛教，弘法上的辛苦，不 覺得有什麼了不起；為了佛教，有人批評佛教，我要寫文章護法；為了佛教，立志辦 教育、辦文化、辦慈善事業等等。經常有人請教大師:「為什麼要創建佛光山?」這當 然是各種因緣和合；也經常有人問:「為什麼佛光山後來展開了世界性的傳播？」這 也是因緣的推動。若要歸納來說，一切都是「為了佛教」。 創會會長星雲大師於今年二月五日圓寂，佛光會員更應秉持大師大願，以「不忘 初心」的精神信念，為了佛教，持續精進，弘揚人間佛教。

Words from the World Headquarters President

Most Venerable Hsin Bau

Never Forget the Initial Vow

T

he initial vow is giving rise to the first resolve, a commitment we have made to ourselves. On the path of cultivation, we must embrace the enthusiasm of “never forget the initial vow” so we can have the strength for unwavering perseverance. Moreover, we should do more than simply looking at the surface in learning Buddhism. It would be a missed opportunity if we regard the “Biography of Shakyamuni Buddha” as a mere story for good reading. Because while we can read about the Buddha practicing six years of asceticism, we cannot understand how the Buddha could subsist on a hemp seed and a grain. Hence, we should delve into the inherent strength of our mind, as afflictions originate from the mind we need to apply effort in cultivating the inner self.

Venerable Master Hsing Yun once taught that entering the gate of Buddhism is not an immediate entrance into paradise; it demands austere practice, diligent learning, and rigorous training. However, on encountering demands of the multitude, burden of temple affairs, and various responsibilities of service, some become disheartened. They wonder why Buddhist practice is so arduous, causing many to abandon the path midway.

The virtuous Sudhana was undeterred by hardships, diligently visited wise mentors on his journey because he never forgot his initial vow. Therefore, every time he encountered a knowledgeable teacher, he expressed his determination to learn and reminded himself continuously, “I am someone who has giving rise to the Bodhi mind, yet I still do not know how to cultivate the Bodhisattva path. I am responsible for my initial vow.”

Venerable Master Hsing Yun once wrote in his reflections, the commitment to “never forget the initial vow” brought him numerous timely opportunities rarely encountered. The Venerable Master embarked on a solitary journey to Taiwan in his young days, driven by a compassionate heart and an unwavering dedication to establishing educational institutions. In his view, all forms of education shared a common core, an initial vow from within the mind. He believed that, “With this initial vow, educational endeavors will succeed.” The Venerable Master often said, “Never forget the initial vow, this is education of the mind.”

The Venerable Master indicated that by never forgetting his initial vows, he encountered numerous favorable circumstances and good connections. For instance, he explained, “I did not know architecture, but driven by my faith in nurturing talent for Buddhism, I received ample support from various sources, leading to the founding of Fo Guang Shan. I may not have had formal education, but I recognized the importance of education and understood the limitations of my personal effort. Therefore, I initiated the ‘Million-Member Fundraising Campaign’ to ensure that wisdom remains in the world. Although I know no foreign languages, I kindled the aspiration to let the Dharma stream flow on the five continents. With the support of dedicated individuals worldwide, I embarked on the path of international Dharma propagation.”

After his renunciation, “for the sake of Buddhism” had always been on the Venerable Master’s mind. For the sake of Buddhism, he never felt that the hardships of propagating the Dharma were anything remarkable. For the sake of Buddhism, when people criticized the faith, he wrote articles to defend it; for the sake of Buddhism, he aspired to establish educational, cultural, and charitable endeavors. People often asked the Venerable Master, “Why did you build Fo Guang Shan?” This is of course the result of various causes and conditions coming together. There were also people asking, “Why did Fo Guang Shan expand its propagation efforts on a global scale?” It was also driven by causal conditions, all in all, everything was for the sake of Buddhism.

On February 5 this year, Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun passed away. As BLIA members, it is our responsibility to uphold the Venerable Master’s profound vows guided by the unwavering spirit of “never forget the initial vow;” for the sake of Buddhism, we should persist with diligence to propagate Humanistic Buddhism.

署理會長的話

人間有溫暖

慈容法師

各

位佛光人大家吉祥！歡迎全球佛光人回到總本山參 加實體「世界會員代表大會」，這幾年的疫情帶給

了大家許多的不方便，尤其許多活動都改為線上，人與人 之間的接觸也減少了。今年疫情比較緩和，全球佛光人踴 躍報名，希望都能回到實體會議，互相見面交流。 國際佛光會在創會會長星雲大師的帶領之下，邁入了第31 個年頭，猶如小寶寶成長到了年輕人的階段，充滿活力與希望。 隨著時代的變遷，科技的進步，佛光會也因應時代的需求，以各種形式的活動，帶動 著社會善美的力量。近些年來，環保議題受到聯合國的關注，佛光會也重視社會環保 議題，除了舉辦植樹復育森林活動，也透過「蔬食公益路跑」，推廣蔬食，並將「蔬 食公益路跑」的公里數，換算成米糧，捐贈給弱勢團體。「蔬食公益路跑」於全球各 地受到了社會的肯定，尤其加拿大總理賈斯汀‧皮耶‧詹姆士‧杜魯道等政要官員， 頒發賀函，給予表揚及肯定。創會會長星雲大師於2010年以「環保與心保」為世界 大會主題，早在那個時候大師就十分重視環保議題，全球佛光人也都持續的在舉辦種 樹、淨灘、推廣素食等環保活動，為地球的環保盡一份棉薄之力。 此外，星雲大師一生倡導平等，對於性別的平等，乃至於僧信平等，都不離釋迦牟 尼佛眾生平等的思想，因此大師首創檀講師制度，讓在家眾也能走入校園、走入社區 宣講。尤其「人間佛教宣講員」的推展，許多海內外佛光人踴躍參與，透過星雲大師 的文章，於不同場合宣揚大師人間佛教之精神理念。 對於性別的平等，星雲大師重視女性的平權，國際佛光會每一年出席聯合國婦女委 員會年會，於平行會議上發表星雲大師之平等觀與實踐，獲得聯合國現場聽眾熱烈的 回響。聯合國秘書長古特雷斯表示「性別平等」將推遲300年才能達成，但佛光山及佛 光會在星雲大師的帶領之下，早在幾十年前就已落實平等與平權，可見星雲大師的帶 領，不但具有前瞻性，更是符合時代人類的需求。 全球佛光會也在世界各地秉持創會會長星雲大師「人間佛教」的精神理念，透過 各種活動推動佛教的發展。例如：舉辦全球佛學會考、人間音緣歌曲創作比賽、讀書 會、佛誕節浴佛、捐血報恩、慈善捐贈、弱勢關懷等，都受到當地的肯定。當面臨天 災人禍，如疫情救援、烏克蘭戰爭、巴基斯坦洪水、阿富汗寒冬救援、土耳其大地震 等災難，佛光人更是義不容辭的伸出援手給予幫助，讓人間多一份溫暖與善美。 非常感謝各位佛光人於世界各地的努力與付出，雖然創會會長星雲大師於今年元宵 節圓寂了，但大師的精神理念永遠與我們同在。希望全球佛光人都能秉持星雲大師的 精神理念，持續推動人間佛教的發展，為人間增添歡喜與快樂，讓人間都能成為一片 淨土，在此祝福大家！

Words of the Acting President

Venerable Tzu Jung

There is Warmth in the World

B

LIA members, auspicious blessings! A warm welcome to BLIA members worldwide coming back to Fo Guang Shan for the in-person 2023 BLIA General Conference. Over the past few years, the pandemic has brought everyone many inconveniences, in particular, many events have changed to be online, reducing personal interaction between one another. The pandemic has eased off this year and BLIA members from across the world enthusiastically registered for the Conference, hoping to come back for an in-person conference for meeting and interacting with each other.

Under the leadership of Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun, BLIA has entered its 31st year, like a baby having grown to be a young adult, filled with vitality and hope. With the changing times and advances in technology, BLIA is also keeping up with the times and hosting various events, driving a virtuous and beautiful energy in society. In recent years, environmental issues have become a focus of the United Nations. BLIA also places great importance on environmentalism, holding tree-planting and reforestation events, it has also hosted the VegRun Global Community Run to promote vegetarianism, and converted the mileage from the runs to rice for donation to disadvantaged groups. VegRun has received recognition by society around the world. In particular, Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other officials have issued certificates of recognition. In 2010, Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun advocated “Environmental and Spiritual Preservation” as the General Conference theme. As early as that time, the Venerable Master already placed great importance on environmentalism. BLIA members worldwide have been continuously holding tree-planting, beach cleaning, vegetarianism promotion, and environmental events, doing what they can for the Earth in environmental preservation.

In addition, Venerable Master Hsing Yun had promoted equality throughout his life. Whether it is gender equality, or equality between monastic and laity, all are within Sakyamuni Buddha’s philosophy of equality among sentient beings. Hence, the Venerable Master established the first Lay Dharma Lecturer system, allowing lay disciples to enter campuses and communities to speak on the Dharma. The development of the Humanistic Buddhism Speaker system has brought many local and overseas BLIA members to participate enthusiastically.

Through Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s writings, they can propagate the Venerable Master’s spirit and vision of Humanistic Buddhism at different venues.

Regarding gender equality, Venerable Master Hsing Yun prioritized the equality of women. Every year, BLIA attends the annual sessions for the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. At the parallel meeting, BLIA would speak on Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s view of equality and its practice, earning enthusiastic response from the in-person audience at the United Nations. United Nations Secretary-General Guterres said that gender equality would be delayed for another 300 years, but Fo Guang Shan and BLIA, under Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s leadership, have already achieved equality and equal rights decades ago. We can see that Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s leadership is forward-thinking and in accordance with the needs of people in this age.

BLIA chapters worldwide are also following Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s spirit and vision and promoting the development of Buddhism with various activities. For instance, the Global Buddhism Exam, Sounds of the Human World Global Songwriting Contest, study groups, Buddha’s Birthday celebrations, blood drives, charity donations, caring for the disadvantaged etc. have all received recognition from the local community. When natural and manmade disasters hit, such as pandemic relief, the Ukraine war, flood in Pakistan, winter relief for Afghanistan, and earthquake in Turkiye, BLIA members would not hesitate to lend a hand to people in need, providing more warmth, kindness, and beauty to the world.

I’m very grateful for the efforts and contributions of BLIA members around the world. Even though Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun had passed away on Lantern Festival this year, the spirit and vision of the Venerable Master will always be with us. I hope that BLIA members worldwide can uphold Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s spirit and vision, and continue to promote the development of Humanistic Buddhism, bringing more joy and happiness to the world for it to become a pure land. My blessings to you all!

秘書長的話

覺培法師

請善用大師留給我們的寶藏

023年，應該是全球佛光人最感傷的一年，因為我們最敬 愛的創會會長 星雲大師圓寂，如人天眼滅，萬籟聲悽， 四眾失怙，痛失皈依…。 但是我們知道大師不希望我們如此消沉，相反的，他會 要我們繼續「奮起飛揚」，鼓勵我們「向前有路」。換個 角度應該這麼想：「何其有幸，千年難遇的一代的高僧， 我們得遇；能令眾生離苦的人間佛教無量義，我們得以領 受學習。」是的，何其有幸，大師留給我們的寶藏實在太 多太多：他教會我們以「三好」淨化人心，用「四給」處世做 人，以「五和」創造幸福人生；他鼓勵我們要對自己有信心，「我 是佛」是「自依止」的承諾，「要讀書、明因果」是「法依止」的落實。 一生「為了佛教」的星雲大師，留下了全球五大洲三百個弘法據點，橫跨美、澳、亞 洲五所大學，近百所中小學及中文學校，及一整套令人嘆為觀止的395冊《星雲大師全 集》，數百萬會員信眾得到佛法的教化，在生活中淨化身口意三業，繼而實現「三好人 家」、「三好校園」，翻轉無數生命的故事。 疫情期間，我們透過網路不斷的學習，過去三年無論是「線上」佛學會考、線上理事 會議或世界大會，數萬名會員依舊精進的線上相聚，聆聽著佛光會員們豐富多采的會務 報告及各式各樣因應疫情的安頓身心方法。而今，疫情後我們再度回到總本山，這一年 首次沒有創會會長星雲大師的世界大會，大家卻如候鳥歸巢，超過兩千四百位的會員參 加，不得不因食宿空間而截止報名，每一個人用「回家」的行動告訴敬愛的大師：「我 們對您有多麼深的思念。」 大師一生推動「人間佛教」，一輩子的歲月最終讓佛教走出了山林，走向社會，更走 入人群。在寧靜的變革中，領航著僧信二眾，將佛教帶入了現代化、制度化、國際化、 藝文化、書香化、年輕化、本土化、生活化…。他為我們所開拓的學佛道路，豈止一 條，而是可以從聽經聞法、梵唄、法會、文化、教育、閱讀、歌唱、體育、飲食，日常 生活、行住坐臥等，千百萬條，條條契入佛法。大師以「慈悲」、「平等」為軸心，以 「三好」、「四給」淨化三業，以「六度」、「四攝」化導頑強，凡是「利樂有情」， 能令眾生「入佛知見」者，無一不是佛法。 佛光山與佛光會如鳥之雙翼，未來佛教的發展有賴於我們這一代僧信共同承擔，曾經 跟隨過大師的資深佛光人，更要以「善巧方便」的慈心悲願提攜後輩，鼓勵後學，無論 在「佛光會務」的健全上提出有效方法，或接引會員幫助更多佛光人成長向上，或積極 鼓勵兒童、青年加入童軍團、青年團，成立合唱團以傳唱著每一首優美的佛教歌曲，或 不斷培養讀書會帶領人、宣講員、檀講師等，以弘揚星雲大師人間佛教的理念…，總 之，無論在家庭或學校中，在生活或工作裡，請善用大師留給我們的寶藏！

A Message from the Secretary General

Venerable Chueh Pei Please Use Wisely the Treasures the Venerable Master Bequeathed Us

2

023 should be the most sorrowful year for BLIA members worldwide. With the passing of our beloved Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun, it has felt like, “heavenly and human eyes have extinguished, all of nature is filled with the sound of mourning; the four-fold disciples have lost a fatherly figure we take refuge in.”

However, we know that the Venerable Master would not want us to be dejected; conversely, he would want us to continue to soar high, encouraging us that there is a path ahead. We should reflect from another perspective: “How fortunate for us to have crossed paths with a once-in-a-millennium eminent master; we are able to receive and learn the immeasurable teachings of Humanistic Buddhism for liberating sentient beings from suffering.” Indeed, we are fortunate that the Venerable Master has bequeathed us with so many treasures. He had taught us the Three Acts of Goodness to purify people’s mind, the Four Givings to guide us in dealing with matters and conducting ourselves, and the Five Harmonies to create a life of happiness. He had encouraged us to be confident in ourselves; take refuge in ourselves with the vow that “I am a Buddha,” and by taking refuge in the Dharma is “to read and study, to understand cause and effect.”

Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s lifetime dedication to Buddhism has resulted in 300 locations for Dharma propagation across the five continents; five universities in America, Europe, and Asia; close to 100 elementary, middle, and Chinese schools; and the awe-inspiring 395-volume Complete Works of Venerable Master Hsing Yun. With the Dharma, millions of members and devotees have purified their three karmas of action, speech, and thought, turning numerous lives around with Three Acts of Goodness Families and Three Acts of Goodness Schools.

During the past three years of the pandemic, we remained diligent through Buddhism exams, Board of Directors meeting, and General Conference, all of which were conducted online. Tens of thousands of members gathered virtually to listen to each other’s impressive work reports and learn ways to gain ease and peace for body and mind during the pandemic. This year, the General Conference returns to Fo Guang Shan for the first time after the pandemic, but this is also the first time without Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun gracing us with his presence. Nevertheless, members have been like migrant birds flocking home to their nest. Over 2,400 members will be attending the General Conference; we unfortunately had to close off registration due to reaching full capacity.

“Returning home” is our way of telling our beloved Venerable Master, “We miss you so deeply.”

Thanks to the Venerable Master’s lifetime propagation of Humanistic Buddhism, after the months and years of his life, Buddhism is finally brought out of seclusion to enter society and into the multitudes. In this silent revolution, the Venerable Master has led monastic and laity to bring a modern, systemized, international, cultural, educational, youthful, localized, and life-engaging Buddhism to the world. He has paved multiple paths in daily life for us to learn Buddhism, including talks, chanting, Dharma services, cultural events, educational programs, reading, singing, sports, and food; so that in our daily living, whether within walking, standing, sitting, or resting, there are hundreds and thousands of ways, with every one of them connecting to the Dharma. The Venerable Master taught us through the two axis of compassion and equality: purify the three karmas with the Three Acts of Goodness and Four Givings, and transform stubbornness with the six perfections and four means of embracing. All that can bring benefit and joy to sentient beings, leading them into the insight of buddhas are all Dharma.

Fo Guang Shan and BLIA are like the two wings of a bird; the future of Buddhism is a shared responsibility between our generation of monastics and lay disciples. Senior BLIA members who have learned under the Venerable Master should make a compassionate vow to guide and encourage junior ones with skillful means. Whether it is to give suggestions to improve BLIA’s operations; bring new members to foster mutual growth; encourage children and youths to join the BLIA Scouts or BLIA YAD; form a choir to sing the beauty of Buddhist songs; train study group facilitators, speakers, and Lay Dharma Lecturers for promoting Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s philosophy of Humanistic Buddhism. Overall, whether at home or in school, at work or within daily living, please use wisely the treasures Venerable Master Hsing Yun has bequeathed us!

LIA executives are like navigators of a ship, leading its crew forward and steering them toward their destination. The development of BLIA requires the leadership of executives and the collective efforts of members to achieve its mission. For an organization to develop sustainably, it requires not only a wellestablished organizational structure, but also a shared vision and principles. Executive Training Seminars aim to strengthen the understanding of core values and philosophy of Fo Guang Shan, establishing right perspectives such as do what is in accord with Buddha and servicing others. Moreover, it provides clear guidance on the organization’s development direction and goals. For both incoming and incumbent executives, through sessions on “BLIA Objectives and Ideals,” “How to Be a BLIA Member,” and “An Introduction to the Operation and Affairs of BLIA for Executives,” they can better appreciate their roles and duties. Through “Group Discussions” and “Sharing Sessions,” consensus and understanding can be reached. This seminar equips incoming executives with confidence to steer members towards success.

Male Vajra Volunteers and Female Hospitality Volunteers Seminar

I

n Buddhism, male volunteers are called “Vajra” for being pure and strong, signifying characteristics as strong as diamond and steel. Not only are they capable of subduing their own minds, but also able in influencing others to return to the right path. Sangharama and Skanda Bodhisattvas guard the monastery, maintaining order wherever the Buddha teaches the Dharma. They prevent the evil from disrupting the Dharma teachings so that the listeners can maintain their focus in learning as well as upholding the solemnity of the place of practice.

Apart from maintaining order and ensuring safety at the temples, BLIA male “Vajra” volunteers are both dignified and fearless. They are knowledgeable in crisis management, ready to serve the public, and accept Dharma protection as their mission.

BLIA female hospitality volunteers play an important role in receiving visitors to the temple. These volunteers understand the needs of the visitors, providing a warm and cordial reception and making them feel at home. They are frontline volunteers in receiving guests visiting the temple, similar to the diplomats of a country. When devotees and guests come inside a temple, these volunteers are the first people they meet. Hence, they should be dignified in manner and poised in speaking; ready with a warm smile and an appreciation of the meaning of the Dharma.

They serve the public by upholding the spirit of “greeting visitors on every occasion,” spreading the joy of Humanistic Buddhism to even more people with the bodhisattva spirit of benefiting self and others. BLIA Vajra and hospitality volunteers worldwide serve and contribute in branch temples, and through the training programs, enhance their professional skills and appreciation of the Dharma in their service. These volunteers display the quality and substance of BLIA hospitality, bridging and elevating international connections.

Buddhist Wedding and Bodhi Couples

H

umanistic Buddhism values the joyous harmony of the family. Hence, the Buddhist perspective of family not only considers family as necessary to sustain life but more so for the legacy of compassion, ethics, and faith. Right views and right thoughts are the foundation for a Bodhi couple to establish a blessed and happy family. As the saying goes, “It takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat with someone; and a hundred years of cultivation to share a pillow.” The relationship between husband and wife is the result of a hundred years of cultivating affinity, a truly rare occurrence. BLIA World Headquarters Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun often encouraged newlyweds and Bodhi couples to learn the way of marriage, which must be nurtured through mutual respect. A happy family can only be built with mutual respect and love. While young and dating, one should look closely at the other with both eyes wide open. When the couple is about to marry, it is time to use just one eye, similar to carpenters using one eye to make precise measurements. However,

after getting married, couples should no longer use their eyes to see but their hearts and love to view their relationship.

Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun encouraged the building of a Buddhist family with the hope that the Dharma can be integrated into family life to elevate the quality of a marriage. He ranked married couples in three tiers and hoped that Bodhi couples can become the highest-quality husband and wife. The top rank husband will be able to take up household responsibilities and care for his other half, so that his wife will not feel neglected but honored. The finest wife will be gentle, thoughtful, trustworthy, staunchly loyal, often complimenting and wholeheartedly supportive of her husband’s career. As such, love like this will only win more love.

Fo Guang members on the five continents hold Buddhist Wedding Ceremonies or Bodhi Couple Blessing Ceremonies so families can be filled with happiness.

Three Acts of Goodness Microfilms – Advocacy of Truth, Kindness, and Beauty of the World

B

LIA Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun advocated the Three Acts of Goodness Campaign and the spread of truth, kindness, and beauty of Humanistic Buddhism. In response, BLIA World Headquarters held the Three Acts of Goodness International Microfilm Contest, which is known as the Oscars in the World of Microfilms. Launched in 2019, the first contest received the submission of 88 entries; in October, the winning films received their awards at the UNESCO Headquarters in France, attracting much attention. The 5th Three Acts of Goodness International Microfilm Contest in 2023 has received entries from 120 countries, and out of the 3,146 microfilms submitted 67 were selected.

Coming into the fifth year, the contest set a record for total entries, which is more than the combination of 3,092 films for the first four years from 2019-2022.

It could be seen that the Three Acts of Goodness International Microfilm Festival has received attention and recognition internationally.

How films have transformed is closely related to the development of technology. The progression from microfilms in the past to the short videos now reflects the change in people’s attitudes towards films. With modern technology, filming equipment is not limited to cameras. A mobile phone can film a brilliant short video that is so meaningful. The purpose of the Three Acts of Goodness International Microfilm Festival is to spread the truth, kindness, and beauty of this world through films. More importantly, the spirit of three acts of goodness advocated by BLIA Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun can be spread to every corner of the world.

Buddha’s Birthday Celebration Around the World

T

he Buddha's Birthday is also known as the Buddha Bathing Festival. According to the sutras, more than 2,600 years ago, Queen Maya of Kapilavastu, India gave birth to Prince Siddhartha on the 8th day of the fourth Lunar month. At that time, the Four Heavenly Kings and nine nagas bathed the prince with a fragrant spring. Thereafter, Buddhists celebrated the birth of their great teacher by conducting a bathing ceremony on the eighth day of the fourth Lunar month. The purpose of bathing Buddha is to cleanse our body and mind, purifying the inner mind through external bathing elevates our spirituality. Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun expressed that, “The Buddha is the Enlightened One of compassion and wisdom. Like a loving mother to all sentient beings, he serves all sentient beings selflessly, blessing all beings with auspiciousness and happiness. Therefore, the true ‘bathing of the Buddha’ is to purify our body and mind

through the sacred virtues of the Buddha. Hence, we can bathe in the light of the Buddha’s compassion, so that our lives can be constantly renewed.”

The Buddha's birthday is an important festival for Buddhists. In celebrating this special day, BLIA members held various events to commemorate the Buddha’s birthday, such as Cloud and Water Buddha bathing, float parades, blessing ceremonies, Buddha's birthday cultural exhibitions, vegetarian fairs, etc.

With the joint efforts of BLIA members worldwide, the Buddha's Birthday Festival has gradually gained recognition by the local people and government. With the government’s support and the public’s enthusiastic response, the Buddha's Birthday Festival has become one of the important local celebrations and a force of positive energy in the community, bringing harmony and goodness to society.

More than 40,000 scouts aged between 14 and 18 from 155 countries and regions attended the event. The Buddha’s Light Scouts had a total of 116 campers and 31 staff members participating. During the camping period, South Korea was hit by a major heat wave. On August 4, Buddha’s Light Scouts Headquarters Monastic Advisor Venerable Jue Duo and FGS Seoul Temple Abbess Venerable Yi En visited the campsite to encourage Buddha’s Light Scouts. BLIA Scouts Fellowship Committee Director Lee Yao-Chun indicated that Buddha’s Light Scouts had always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude towards various harsh challenges in climate and environment.

On August 6, the Cultural Exchange Day was one of the highlights of the Scout Jamboree. Scouts from around the world showcased their respective cultural characteristics. The Buddha’s Light Scouts were divided into three Troops, with each using Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s teachings on Humanistic Buddhism as the theme for spreading its kindness and beauty. Troop 27’s subject was Chinese New Year, incorporating elements of Chinese New Year celebrations. By scanning QR codes, scouts from different countries could learn about Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s New Year calligraphy and zodiac signs for that year. The Three Acts of Goodness and Four Givings mascots were favorites for scouts to check in. Troop 28 prepared Taiwanese delicacies such as pineapple cakes, bubble tea, and guaiguai snacks; members introduced the food with stories in English to promote Taiwanese cuisine. Troop 29 designed rose neckerchief knitting art and bookmarks with their English names written on Bodhi leaves. The cultural exchange activities attracted many scouts from other countries coming by to learn and experience.

Guang Ming College, Philippines ~ Propagating the Dharma through Arts

T

he Philippines is a country gifted in the arts. In upholding the philosophy of propagating the Dharma through arts, Siddhartha the Musical was created by the Cebu Arts Academy in the Philippines based on the “Biography of Sakyamuni Buddha” written by Venerable Master Hsing Yun. From 2007 to 2022, a period of 15 years, the musical has traveled to 13 countries and staged 180 performances, attracting over 125,000 people with each sold out performance and receiving rave reviews. In recent years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been no opportunities for performance; as the situation has improved, the Cebu Arts Academy celebrated its 15th anniversary on December 17, 2022 with two special presentations.

They brought together three generations of performers who portrayed classic scenes from the Siddhartha Musical in even better crafted narrations. The audience was deeply moved when names of the same characters from previous years were shown onscreen.

Over the course of 15 years, “Siddhartha the Musical” has involved more than a thousand people in both on-stage and behind-thescenes roles. Some have been part of the production since the beginning, while others have found better career opportunities and even built their own reputations. Benjie, who portrayed Buddha, expressed gratitude to Venerable Master Hsing Yun for the wonderful opportunity and to Ven. Yung Guang for her motherly care. Singing “The Noble Eightfold Path” in every performance has been a deeply touching experience for his personal growth, making it his all-time favorite song.

Hope Village in India ~ Laying Foundation for Education

E

ducation is a ray of light that shines upon children in poverty, and a foundation on which a new life can be built; only education can lift children out of poverty and bring hope to their lives. Since 2012, BLIA Chennai has visited remote Dalit villages, offering food, clothes, stationery, and education in accordance with the vision of benefiting society through charity.

On July 8, 2017, World Headquarters Vice Secretary General Southeast Asia Ven. Chueh Cheng made her first visit to India, showing support for BLIA Chennai’s assistance to the poor, and naming Dalit villages at the time as Buddha’s Light Hope Villages. With the belief that Buddha nature exists equally within all and that one’s station in life is not determined at birth, she hoped that the villagers could turn their lives around through hard work. In 2018, the Buddha’s Light Hope Village initiative officially began. The World Headquarters and BLIA Chennai inaugurated nine villages including Pazhaveli, Sithandi, P. V. Kalathur, Vallipuram, and Oragadam; teachers in the villages also joined together as an organized educational

group. BLIA Chennai made arrangements for teachers to visit the villages weekly to teach hygiene, the Three Acts of Goodness, language, arts, and games.

On July 9, 2023, in an effort to better organize the educational plans of the Hope Villages since its initiation, the World Headquarters held the first Hope Village Teacher Training, attended by 20 teachers from nine Hope Villages. During the training, BLIA Chennai President Geetha Kumari held a work report session, where teachers shared information about their curriculum, educational resources, learning outcomes, challenges, and needs. Vice Secretary General Southeast Asia Ven. Chueh Cheng also gave useful guidance on the application of meditation, Zentangles, Buddhist stories, and songs in their classes. Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun once stated, “India’s hope lies in education,” believing that only education could lift children out of poverty.
