Yen Shan Tang True buddha Order

on 10 Dec and 11 Dec

Yellow Jambhala Blessing Ceremony and

Amitabha Buddha Blessing and Bardo Ceremony

with Blessing Empowerments

Yellow Jambhala :

Yellow Jambhala is an emanation of Lord Vaisravana, who is in turn one of the “Four Great World-protecting Heavenly Kings”. He is the guardian of light in Buddhism, a great charitable deity who grants fortune and protection. Lord Vaisravana lives in the northern region under the Four Heavens, at the northern crystal palace on the fourth level of Mount Sumeru. His servants are either yaksas or bhaisajya-yaksas. According to the Commentary on Lotus Sutra, this heavenly king is extremely knowledgeable as his perpetual protection of the Buddhas has enabled him to receive many teachings

Yellow Jambhala is one of the Eight Principal Deities of our True Buddha School. His Holiness Living Buddha Lian-sheng feels that although there are many rich True Buddha disciples, there are also many that are poor. This latter group of disciples wishes to learn a practice that can extricate them from poverty. This is why Yellow Jambhala is being upheld as one of True Buddha School’s Eight Principal Deities. It is hoped that with the great blessings of Yellow Jambhala, True Buddha School’s teachings will be propagated worldwide to salvage all sentient beings. This shall also fulfill our mission to popularize Buddhism.

Amitabha Buddha :

Among all Buddhas, Amitabha Buddha made the greatest vows of compassion and the vows I made exactly match the vows of [Amitabha] Buddha in delivering sentient beings.

Amitābha is a celestial buddha described in the scriptures of the Mahāyāna school of Buddhism. Amitābha is the principal buddha in the Pure Land sect, a branch of Buddhism practiced mainly in East Asia, while in Vajrayana Amitābha is known for his longevity attribute and the aggregate of distinguishing (recognition) and the deep awareness of individualities. According to these scriptures, Amitābha possesses infinite merits resulting from good deeds over countless past lives as a bodhisattva named Dharmakāra. “Amitābha” is translatable as “Infinite Light,” hence Amitābha is often called “The Buddha of Infinite Light.”

悉尼嚴山雷藏寺將於2011年12月10日及11日 舉辦

黃財神息災、祈福大法會 暨 阿彌陀佛息災、祈福、超度大法會

恭請來自新加坡釋蓮萊金剛上師主壇及澳洲法師團護壇

法會當天將依主尊個別進行黃財神及阿彌陀佛賜福灌頂

悉尼嚴山雷藏寺,將於2011年12月10日及11日舉辦兩場法會 –黃財神息災、祈福大法會

大法會 暨阿彌陀佛息災、祈福、超度大法會。恭請來自新加坡釋蓮萊金剛上師主壇及澳洲法師團護壇。

12月10日法會主尊為黃財神。黃財神原來是多聞天王的化身,多聞天王即是「護世四天王」之一,別名是毘沙門天王,也是佛門的光明護法,更是施護賜財的大善神。黃財神是藏傳佛教各大教派普遍供養的五姓財神之一,藏名藏拉色波,因其身相黃色,故稱黃財神。修持黃財神法、持誦其密咒,可獲得黃財神庇,佑能增長福德、壽命、智能、物質及精上之受用,不被生活所逼,以及一切經濟壓迫,可安心向道。

「蓮生活佛」認為,修黃財神本尊的口訣,是「施福護財因」,首先要懂得「施」的道理。正是:財施。法施。無畏施。學黃財神本尊,先要有寬宏大量的布施之心,先實行布施。 沒有錢的人,要有三種布施,非常重要:   第一,先學布施食物變食給餓鬼羅剎。 第二,供養齋食給僧人。 第三,好好學會供養黃財神的儀軌。

修持黃財神法者,需要皈依三寶,發菩提心,勤行布施,誠心學佛,發願救度一切衆生于貧困,以此發心來修財神法,才能夠可獲得黃財神庇,佑能增長福德、壽命、智能、物質及精上之受用,財源茂盛,一切圓滿而富足。

12月11法會主尊為阿彌陀佛。阿彌陀佛,其名號梵音為Amitāyus(無量壽)、Amitābha(無量光),別名無量壽佛、無量光佛、觀自在王佛、甘露王。密號為清靜。他是西方極樂世界的教主,與觀音菩薩、大勢至菩薩合稱“西方三聖”。

在諸佛的救度之中,娑婆世界的人間,當以阿彌陀佛為第一。幾乎連三歲孩童均會唸一句「阿彌陀佛」。這阿彌陀佛的光明,可分:「無量光,無邊光,無礙光,無對光,焰王光,清淨光,歡喜光,智慧光,不斷光,難思光,無稱光,超日月光。」西方極樂世界有三品九生的境界。阿彌陀佛以無盡願力誓渡一切眾生,不捨悲願,以無量光明照獨行者,業障重罪皆可消減,凡持其名號者,生前獲佛護佑,消除一切災禍業苦;死後更可化生其極樂淨土,得享一切安樂。

為了迎接12月份兩場大法會,嚴山雷藏寺特別制作了非常精美的七彩紙金蓮花,元寶,天燈,壽桃等供品及大法船,提供給報名參加兩天息災,祈福,超度大法會的與會大衆。

報名祈福法會,誠心祈求,發心供養,贊助法會可以得到主尊黃財神及阿彌陀佛的賜福,加持,以消災解厄。

報名參加超度的功德與加持力如下:

第一, 可以讓已故亡靈乘坐法船,由主尊阿彌陀佛超度而離苦得樂,早日投胎,脫離幽冥世界之苦,或功德圓滿地轉赴西方極樂世界修行。

第二, 對先人表示孝心, 可以庇佑陽間的子孫後代平平安安,事業順利。

第三, 超度法船還能化解現世的冤親債主的怨仇,轉惡緣為善緣,減輕累世冤親債主的磁場干擾,讓自己的運勢發達,前途順利。

第四, 可以籍此方便法門與佛菩薩結善緣, 增加福報。四大功德力將福蔭祖先,自己,和子孫後代。 歡迎大家踴躍參加法會,為自己,親朋好友消災祈福,冀望來年合家平安,福報綿綿。為祖先亡者 以及冤親債主報名,讓他們的靈魂在佛菩薩的佛光接引下, 都能升入西方極樂世界淨土。
