浴佛法會

佛光山三寶寺慶祝佛誕節暨母親節暨《浴佛法會》

在2500多年前的四月初八日，偉大的佛陀～釋迦牟尼佛～降誕於百花齊放、眾鳥爭鳴的印度迦毗羅衛國。太子誕生後，隨即有淨水從天灑下，沐浴在王子的身上。後來佛教徒每年為慶祝佛陀的誕生，於此日舉行浴佛儀式。藉著浴佛來淨化自己的身、口、意，去除貪、瞋、癡。以此功德轉五濁惡世為清淨的淨土；迴向法界人民康樂、社會安祥、世界和平。

American Buddhist Cultural Society‧Celebration of Buddha’s Birthday
Buddha-bathing Dharma-assembly

Today I bathe the myriad Tathagathas;
Purity and wisdom adorning the ocean of meritorious virtues.
Sentient beings of the five turbidities leave their defilements,
Together attaining the Tathagata’s pure Dharma-body!

More than 2500 years ago, on the eighth day of the fourth moon, the great Buddha—Sakyamuni—was born in Kapilvastu while hundreds of flowers bloomed and the multitude of birds sang. After the prince was born, pure water showered from the skies, bathing his royal body.

Later, Buddhists celebrated the Buddha’s birth every year on that day by holding Buddha-bathing ceremonies. Through bathing of the Buddha, we purify our body, speech, and mind, cleansing ourselves of greed, anger, and ignorance. By means of this merit, the period of the five evil corruptions are transformed into a pure-land; praying that all people in the world be healthy and joyous, society be peaceful and auspicious, and the world be in harmony.
