【Maha Karuna Buddhist Society Malaysia】14 June 2026 | 2026 Buddha Day Celebration Organised by Buddhist Societies in Sibu
Chief Reverend Saranankara attended the 2026 Buddha Day celebration held at the Sibu Foo Chow Association, with the event jointly organised by five Buddhist associations :- Sibu Shakyamurni Buddhist Association, Sibu Buddhist Association, Sibu Sakya Samdrub Ling Centre, Namo Buddha Buddhist Society and Sibu Buddhist’s Learning Centre.
The gathering reflected a strong spirit of cooperation among different Buddhist traditions, coming together under one shared message of peace, wisdom, and harmony.
During his message, Chief Reverend B Sri Saranankara emphasized a central principle of Buddhism: the true value of human life is not determined by external conditions such as wealth, appearance, clothing, or living environment. These are material and temporary.
Instead, he reminded everyone that the most important investment is the mind itself. Human beings carry mental energy throughout life, and this inner condition shapes one’s journey in samsara. Therefore, developing and purifying the mind is the greatest form of progress a person can make.
He further explained that while physical strength changes with age—from childhood, to adulthood, and eventually old age—the body is impermanent and will naturally decline. However, the mind, when trained through Dhamma practice, can remain clear, strong, and stable.
He highlighted that across traditions there is a shared understanding: cultivating purity of mind is essential. This inner cultivation supports one’s spiritual journey and brings lasting benefit beyond the physical world.
As the Wesak full moon season is a time of reflection, the message carried a clear reminder: aging is a natural process for the body, but mental development and purification should remain a lifelong priority.
The Venerable also expressed his happiness in seeing different Buddhist societies working together in unity. He appreciated the harmony among the associations and encouraged everyone to continue preserving peace, respect, and cooperation within the Buddhist community.
In closing, he offered blessings for everyone present, wishing that the Buddha’s teachings continue to guide all beings, and that such peaceful and harmonious gatherings may continue for many years to come.
【马来西亚宏慈佛教会】2026年6月14日｜诗巫联合佛教会举办2026年佛陀日庆典
今日于诗巫福州公会举行的2026年卫塞节庆典中，尊敬的上座部长老沙拉南加拉比丘莅临并给予开示。本次活动由诗巫五个佛教团体联合主办，包括：诗巫释迦牟尼佛教会、诗巫佛教会、诗巫萨迦满愿精舍、南无布达佛教会，以及诗巫佛教泰精修中心。
此次盛会展现了佛教不同传承之间融洽的合作精神，在共同的节日中凝聚力量，以和平、智慧与和谐为核心讯息。
在开示中，沙拉南加拉上座长老强调佛法的核心观点之一：人生的真正价值，并不取决于外在条件，如财富、外貌、衣着或居住环境。这些皆为物质层面，属于暂时与无常之法。
相反，最重要的，是对“心”的修习。人的一生都带着心识的力量前行，而内心的状态，将决定生命在轮回中的走向。因此，净化与提升内心，是人生最重要的修行与成就。
尊者进一步指出，身体的力量会随着年龄而变化——从童年、成年到老年，皆不可避免地走向衰退。然而，若能依佛法修行，心可以保持清明、坚强与稳定。
他也强调，各宗派虽有不同传统，但对“心的清净修持”这一点具有共同理解。这种内在修行，不仅利益今生，也为解脱之道奠定基础。
在卫塞节这一满月纪念日的时节，这段开示提醒大众：身体的老化是自然规律，但心的成长与净化，应当成为一生持续的目标。
长老亦对各佛教团体的和合表示欣慰，赞叹大家在同一愿景下合作共修，并鼓励继续维护佛教团体之间的和平、尊重与团结。
最后，长老为大众送上祝福，愿佛陀的教法长久住世，利益一切众生，也愿此类和平与和谐的法会年年延续。
