【马来西亚宏慈佛教会】2021年6月14日 | 柔佛州 居銮 | 端午节 爱心粮食献 600 民众
于今天五月初五端午节，宏慈佛教会分发600份爱心午餐于居銮县有需要的子民。该慈善款項來自於佛教会的信徒及外界善信人士。佛教会也非常感激绿之素素食餐馆于当地与居銮市议员黄玉英所领导的Covid19爱心组织，协助派送爱心午餐给有需要的人士。受惠人士各族群均有，以乐龄人士居多。
端午是为了纪念中国古代爱国文学政治家屈原而立。中华民族在端午这天都会有吃粽撒雄黄，插艾草等民俗，农历五月被称之为“五毒月”，所以民间的这些习俗也有祛毒邪之意。
在佛教中，也有五毒需要佛弟子们时刻谨记去除，它们就是：贪、嗔、痴、慢、疑。
它们存在我们的身心念中，带来的是烦恼与不安。若能戒除这“五毒”，我们将远离痛苦，获得智慧，明心见性。
在端午节，行持善法，为自己、为家人、为朋友、为众生祈福，这是佛弟子在端午节最大的意义。
布施的人有福，行善的人快乐。
【Malaysia Maha Karuna Buddhist Society NEWS FEED】14 June 2021| KLUANG, Johor | 600 LOVE lunch distribution to needy community.
Today, Maha Karuna Buddhist Society distributed 600 vegetarian lunch for the needy community in KLUANG, Johor. The charitable funds come from devotees in the Buddhist Society and all well wishers. We are grateful to the Nature Vegetarian FOOD and Covid-19 caring organisation led by Kluang City Councillor Huang Yuying for helping to send all loving lunches to those in need. The beneficiaries are from all ethnic groups, mostly senior citizens.
The Dragon Boat Festival was established to commemorate Qu Yuan, a patriotic literary statesman in ancient China. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the Chinese community will have folk customs such as eating rice dumplings, spreading realgar, inserting wormwood, and so on. The fifth month of the lunar calendar is called the “five poison month”, so these folk customs also have the meaning of eliminating poison and avoiding evil.
In Buddhism, there are also five poisons that Buddhist disciples should always remember to get rid off. They are: greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, and suspicion.
They exist in our body, speech and mind, which brings us worries and uneasiness. If we can get rid of these “five poisons”, we will stay away from suffering, gain wisdom, and see the true nature of mind.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, practicing Dharma, share the blessings with oneself, family, friends, and sentient beings, this is the greatest significance of the Buddha’s disciples on the Dragon Boat Festival.
The charitable are blessed ; the virtuous, happy.
