农历七月的第15天,是佛教徒视之为盂兰盆节,中国传统民间则视之为“鬼节”或中元节。民间相信,传说中元节当天阴曹地府将放出饿鬼及孤魂,因此这一天普遍被视为不祥日。为了避凶趋吉,民间会祭祀孤魂野鬼,更会遵守各种禁忌,以免冒犯鬼魂。

相反的,农历七月十五对佛教徒而言则是供养诸佛僧众,以功德回向父母,祈愿先人解脱轮回、投生善趣的吉日,此日被称作“盂兰盆节”。佛教徒深信,六趣之中最殊胜的乃人趣,因为人趣众生具足听闻佛法、实修佛法的条件。

 

盂兰盆节的由来

Buddha Shakyamuni with his chief disciples, Shariputra and Maudgalyayana

佛陀释迦牟尼及其弟子舍利子及目犍连。

盂兰盆节始于一个孝子希求解脱母亲痛苦的孝心。据《佛说盂兰盆经》,佛陀释迦牟尼的其中一位弟子——目犍连在证得阿罗汉果后忆念起自己的双亲。欲报父母哺乳之恩,他以神通见其亡母颈长肚大生于饿鬼中长时不得饮食,其亡父则投生在天趣。

眼见此景,目犍连即以钵盛饭尝试向母亲喂食,但食物未入口便已化成火炭。目犍连大叫,悲号涕泣,急忙向佛陀释迦牟尼陈情,希望帮助解脱亡母之苦。

 

据《佛说盂兰盆经》,佛言:

“汝母罪根深结,非汝一人力所奈何。汝虽孝顺,声动天地、天神地祇、邪魔外道、道士、四天王神,亦不能奈何,当须十方众僧威神之力乃得解脱。吾今当说救济之法,令一切难,皆离忧苦。”

image05

目犍连欲向亡母喂食,但所有食物未入口便已化成火炭。

目犍连的母亲之所以受此等苦处,乃因她于在世时将目犍连托付购买食物供僧的钱占为己用而未做供养,最终得此恶果,以至于其子虽已证得阿罗汉果也无法助她解脱饿鬼之苦。

佛陀释迦牟尼于是向目犍连开示,应在七月十五日,即僧众结夏安居(又称自恣日)之日,向十方僧众做供养。佛陀建议的供品如下:饭、百味五果、汲灌盆器、香油锭烛、床敷卧具、尽世甘美,着于盆中。
紧接着,佛陀开示受益的僧众应当诵咒回向施主七世父母。目犍连如法供养,最终累积大量功德,帮助亡母从饿鬼苦中解脱,投生为人。

 

为何佛教徒庆祝盂兰盆节

“盂兰”的梵文是“Ullambana” 意思为“救倒悬”,指解救正在受苦的饿鬼。在佛教中,减轻众生之苦的最殊胜方式,就是将功德回向予一切众生。根据《佛说盂兰盆经》,佛说七月十五乃供僧积累福德,回向投生于恶趣的亲人之殊胜日。

我们在盂兰盆节所造的功德能回向给我们仍在世的父母,并且为今生和来世增广福乐。我们也应该透过这个节日,将功德回向予一切众生,祈愿众生皆能离苦得乐。

 

盂兰盆节与鬼节的分别

盂兰盆节 鬼节
佛教徒为在世或往生的父母、亲人累积功德的殊胜节日。 民间重视的节日之一,人们大多视农历七月为不祥的月份
向三宝做供养,以累积功德,回向予投生恶趣的亲人。功德也可回向予远亲债主及一切众生。 向孤魂野会做供养,以期安抚它们。
据《佛说盂兰盆经》记载,盂兰盆节始于佛陀释迦牟尼的时代。 始于14世纪明朝朱元璋时代。
现代盂兰盆节供品:食物、鲜花、明灯及香供。 现代鬼节供品:冥钞、纸扎品、食物、香烛、娱乐表演。

 

农历七月如何演变成“鬼节”?

根据台湾民俗文物馆所发布的一篇文章,农历七月是在14世纪朱元璋时代才被视作为不祥月。在此之前,农历七月一直都是祭祖孝亲的月份。台湾民俗文物馆的研究报告表示,这是朱元璋因为不愿民间跟皇室共享吉日,才把农历七月嫁祸于鬼怪,使人忌讳农历七月。

记载中也显示朱元璋的军师刘伯温献计派人假装成道士向各州各县散播农历七月之时天将降大灾。自此,农历七月为不祥月之说开始传开,民间于是不会在此月办喜事,更会避免在夜间外游,以免招惹鬼怪。

 

2017年克切拉盂兰盆节法会及供养日

2017年8月27日乃克切拉的年度盂兰盆节法会及供养日。这一天,我们透过殊胜的佛法活动为一切众生累积功德、解脱苦处。今年的庆典于克切拉禅修林举办,一整天的活动就包括了两场殊胜法会,更少不了让信众做供养积累福德的各种机会。

当日进行的首场法会为上师荟供法会。透过这场法会,信众给三宝供食,同时也给饿鬼施食。早上10时,林达民讲法师及谢松平讲法师按照藏传佛教寺院的传统吟诵上师荟供文,带领上百名信众一同进行这场长达两小时的法会。

上师荟供法会现场一隅。

克切拉所进行的上师荟供乃宗喀巴大师的上师瑜伽,由四世班禅大师洛桑确吉坚赞撰写。透过做大量供养,尤其是无上供养——修心,此修持将能增进我们与上师的法缘。荟供(藏语称tsog)是供养诸佛菩萨的盛宴。布施是佛教徒的主要修持之一,透过这场法会做大量供养将使行者特别有效且快速地积累广大福田。

上师荟供法会中的荟供供养部分唯独曾接受密续修持灌顶的行者才能进行。因此,在密续行者吟诵经文的时候,不曾接受灌顶的人们则在同一时候念诵宗喀巴大师的《缘悲经》。

在进入克切拉禅修林前,许多信众先停在金泽护法殿向多杰雄登护法的增益化身“金泽”祈愿。

当日的第二场法会“四百供除障法会·遣送孤魂”于中午2时开始进行。法会开始前每位出席的信众都获得一颗粉团,然后用此粉团在患病的身体部位轻轻搓过,象征带走我们及其他一切众生的病痛,甚至是带走恶业及负面能量。人们在搓完后在用手掌把粉团压制成骨头的形状,然后透过法会的加持力,将这些象征我们病痛及恶业的粉团送走。

在四百供除障法会上供百盏灯。

人们在这个四百供除障法会上供养用朵玛粉团制成的百座佛塔、百个朵玛、百盏灯、百个替身食子。在古西藏的年代,由于这个法会的供品数量极为大,因此只有富有人家及贵族有能力进行。

四百供除障法会祈请佛陀释迦牟尼、大威德金刚及多杰雄登护法加持及庇佑。配合上四百供的大量供养,这个法会能帮助我们积累广大福田,消除恶业及影响我们身体健康、财务状况及导致非自然干扰的障碍。如果你身患重病、面对重大的财务危机或官司缠身,甚至可能是面对人身威胁及邪灵干扰,这个法会将对你非常有帮助。

四百供除障法会的利益绝非三言两语能尽述,因此,能赞助这场法会并把功德回向予往生及尚在世的的亲人及一切众生,绝对是无比殊胜。

要为四百供除障法会设立佛坛需要用上好几个小时的时间,因为这些朵玛、替身食子和佛塔都是用粉团捏制而成的。

20170827-ck-EVT-KH-ullambana2017-00130

替身食子象征着法会的赞助人。当把这个替身食子送出大殿的时候,我们应观想所有病痛和恶业也将随着这个替身食子被送走。

根据传统做法,将这些朵玛送出大殿的人在行走的时候不准回头。

    以前小时候总是听到长辈们劝告我们尽量避免选择在农历七月鬼节爬山、靠近有水的地方(如海边或湖边)、森林、甚至晚上不要太夜归。然而,自从我多参与克切拉的活动及阅读这篇博文后,让我更清楚了解盂兰盆节和鬼节的差别。博文里所提到的盂兰盆节让我们可以透过法会和向三宝做供养和其他的供品,并将这些功德回向予我们的父母和一切有情的众生,以减轻众生之苦。至于民间相信农历七月鬼节为不祥的月份,并用冥钞、纸扎品和食物等来祭拜孤魂野鬼。

    博文所提到克切拉禅修林举办的年度盂兰盆节法会及供养日,包括两场殊胜法会让许多信众可以趁此机会做供养,并积累福德。尤其是第二场“四百供除障法会”,在法会开始前每位出席者都获得一颗粉团,然后用此粉团在患病的身体部位轻轻搓过。搓完之后,将此粉团压制成骨头的形状,然后透过法会的加持力,将这些象征我们病痛及恶业的粉团一起被送走。这是难得一见的法会,要感谢主办当局有如此细心的安排,让出席者受益与减轻他们的病痛。

    I’m overjoyed to share my incredible journey with the amazing spell caster, Dr Peter, who helped me reunite with my boyfriend. My relationship was facing numerous challenges, and things got so bad that we ended up breaking up. I was heartbroken. I loved him more than anything. I cried endlessly until a friend of mine, who has a perfect relationship, shared her story and introduced me to the wonderful Dr Peter. He reassured me that everything would be fine and that no relationship is flawless, but he would help me fix mine. He guided me with specific steps, which I followed, and just 24 hours later, my boyfriend returned to me. I’m beyond thrilled! Thank you so much, Dr Peter! I’m leaving his contact information here so you can also benefit from his incredible work: You can reach him on WhatsApp. +2348162247974

    True story of how H H the Dalai Lama most fantastic escapes in history everyone should know the truth. How Dalai Lama was saved
    following the advice of the great Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden.
    Through the highly respected Panglung Oracle’s instruction given by Dorje Shugden. Dalai Lama managed to escape undetected through the Chinese army and over dangerous mountain terrain into India, safe and unharmed back in 1959.This true story is now in comic form where everyone reading it will get a better picture and knowledge of the escape. That’s worth reading as it comes in flipbook and image gallery format .
    Thank you Rinpoche and writers team.

    n Tibetan Buddhist preliminary practice offering 100,000 butter lamps to Vajra Yogini is very powerful practice for generating merit, purifying negativity, and advancing on the tantric path. It’s considered an excellent practice when doing continuous, dedicated offerings for everyone . We could do it ourselves in a retreat setting at home, offering many lamps each day. Butter lamps are traditionally offered to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors as a gesture of respect. It symbolize the light of wisdom for deep spiritual realization. There’s numerous benefits just by offering lights . Looking at the picture of the Vajra Yogini taken by Philip Yong in the butter lamp house at Tsem Ladrang Kathmandu simply awesome.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing with explanation .

    Buddha already mentioned before that there are many other worlds existing and we are not alone. His best known for his work on black holes and the theory of relativity. He had advanced computer graphics to visualize his scientific theories about alien life.
    Depicting, there’s a possibilities for life on other planets, a concept he explored using cutting-edge visuals to make abstract science tangible for audiences. Amazing indeed. Most scientists do agree with his idea that alien life certainly exists in the universe somewhere. Physicist Stephen Hawking had a stark warning to humanity before his death about the capabilities and threat of artificial intelligence. He gave warning about how humanity might fall, including a warning against trying to communicate with alien civilisations. So interesting dough.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing , interesting facts

    Thank you Rinpoche for explaining on the meaning of Lama Tsongkhapa’s hand gestures and the lotuses . This imagery highlights Tsongkhapa’s role as a great scholar and yogi. Lama Tsongkhapa had personify the highest realization of Buddhist teachings and the path to awakening. Lama Tsongkhapa often seen as an emanation of the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Manjusri. On the lotuses held by Lama Tsongkhapa are a flaming sword in his right hand and a Buddhist text on the lotus in his left hand. The sword symbolizing the union of wisdom that cuts through ignorance and delusion. Wisdom text representing compassion needed for enlightenment. Great knowledge by reading those FB comments as in the blog. There’s so much to learn, thanks again.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

Inspired by Kin Hoe's (Ipoh) and Sam's (Kuantan) updates, here... introducing our No. 1 members, Mr. Teo and Aunt Betty. They are always early for preparation, cleaning, and arranging. Bottom pic is Hue & Mr. Loh. They are sharing and exchanging views on ritual practices that support spiritual practices before puja. KPSG by Jacinta.

Tormas are regularly being changed. It's solely the commitments from one of our dedicated members, Choong Soon Heng. Without him, we would not have gathered an abundance of merits. Thanks! Kechara Penang Study Group by Jacinta.
