葉祖堯博士2025年6月21日晚間講於萬佛聖城大殿
The Venerable Master, Dharma Masters, and all the wise advisors,
My name is Qin Fa and this evening is my turn to practice Dharma talk. The title of my talk is “Applied Buddhism.”
宣公上人、各位法師、各位善知識：我的法名是親法，今晚輪到我來練習講法。我的題目是：佛法的應用。
The first time I was exposed to this subject was in a reception at an international conference in Nanjing in 2007 in which we were introduced to the Minister of Reunification in China. She just got back from Hongkong. After learning that we were Buddhists, she took out two small books from her handbag and gave them to us. The titles of the books were “Heart Sutra and Modern Management” and “Heart Sutra and Wisdom of Life” written by Prof. Pan Zong Guang, then president of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Later on I found out that he was quite famous for being nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry a few years ago. Well, these two books provided me a first introduction to the notion of “Applied Buddhism” which refers to the practical application of Buddhist principles, teachings, and practices in various aspects of daily life as well as in many other domains such as management, science, education, etc. It emphasizes the integration of Buddhist philosophy and ethics into everyday activities, relationships, work, and community engagement. A few years later, Prof. Ron Epstein at DRBU wrote a book called Responsible Living which details how Buddhist ethics should be applied in solving major world problems.
我第一次接觸這個主題是在2007年南京舉行的國際會議的招待會上。當時我和我的同修被介紹給中國的統戰部部長劉延東女士，她剛從香港回來。得知我們是佛教徒後，她從手提包裡拿出兩本小書送給我們。書名分別是《心經與現代管理》和《心經與人生智慧》，作者為時任香港科技大學校長的潘宗光教授。後來我才知道，潘宗光教授幾年前因獲得諾貝爾化學獎提名而聲名大噪。這兩本書讓我第一次接觸到「應用佛法」的概念，它指的是將佛教的原理、教義和修行應用於日常生活和管理的各個方面。它強調將佛教哲學和倫理道德融入日常活動、人際關係、工作和社區參與中。另一個例子是法界佛教大學終身榮譽校長易象乾教授的《負責任的生活》一書，其中詳細介紹如何運用佛教倫理來解決世界重大問題。

All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Venerable Master Hua, Dharma Masters, and all Good and Wise Advisors, Amitabha! I am Monica and it is my honor to tie dharma affinities with everyone.

This society specifically honored and respected Guanyin Bodhisattva. I was part of that society for eleven years until I was 21 years old, and then I followed the Venerable Master and left home under him.

All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Venerable Master, Dharma Masters and Dharma friends, Amituofo.
諸佛菩薩、上人、各位法師、各位佛友，阿彌陀佛！
My name is Sophie Huang. My Dharma name is Qin Yuan. I came from China and have lived in the US for over 14 years. In March this year I took the 5 precepts in CTTB, because I finally consider myself a buddhist after two years of study in DRBU. But my journey to the Dharma was much longer than two years. In fact, it took me 40 years.
我叫黃媛媛，法號親緣。我來自中國，在美國住了有14年多。今年3月我在聖城受了五戒，因為在法大學習了兩年後我終於認為自己是一個佛教徒。然而我走向佛法的路卻遠遠不止兩年，實際上花了我整整40年。
比丘尼恒哲法師2024年10月17日線上講於加拿大卡加利華嚴聖寺
諸佛菩薩、師父上人、各位善知識： 今晚很高興，比丘尼恆哲在卡加利華嚴聖寺跟大家來結法緣，祝大家有一個很美好的晚上。那麼我今天只是想跟大家來談我的心得報告，就是說我們要在一切的境界裡面來成長。境界有哪些呢？境界基本上可以分成兩個部分，一個就是我們自己的心念，是在內心的。
All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Venerable Master, and all Dharma Masters, Amitabha. I’m really happy to be here today to speak with everyone. My name is Heng Je, and I’m speaking from Avatamsaka Monastery in Calgary (Canada). I hope everybody will have a good evening. So this would be a sort of report. I wanted to talk about states that we encounter and how we can grow from them and learn from them. There are different types of states, and so we can think of them as in two parts. One is the states within our minds — internally.

Today is the 8th day of the 9th month (on Lunar calendar). The 19th day of the 9th month is the commemoration day of Guanyin Bodhisattvas entering the monastic life. So I would like to share Guanyin Bodhisattva’s practices and the 30 essential guidelines for monastics from the Patriarch, so that we can learn together to increase and solidify and make firm our aspiration for the Way, so we can return to our origin.
