【Maha Karuna Buddhist Society Malaysia】25 September 2026 | Under the Full Moon: Dhamma, Loving-Kindness and Togetherness
On the night of the Mid-Autumn full moon, devotees gathered at Maha Karuna Vihara to pay homage and make offerings to the Triple Gem. They then circumambulated the stupa in the Buddha Relics Hall, recited homage to the Buddha as they walked with steady steps and mindful hearts.
Afterwards, everyone gathered in the Main Shrine Hall for chanting and a Dhamma sermon by the Abbot, Chief Reverend Sri Saranankara Nayaka Maha Thera, with Mandarin translation by a volunteer.
Chief Reverend shared that human beings have great potential and the ability to think and discern. Understanding our own minds can help us grow in our practice. He encouraged everyone to take three steps: gain knowledge, reflect and analyse, and put what we learn into practice.
Knowledge alone is not enough. We must consider whether what we learn is sound and whether we can apply it in daily life. Through reflection and analysis, we begin to develop wisdom; through meditation and practice, that wisdom grows.
Speaking about the nature of the mind, Chief Reverend observed that it cannot easily be assigned a fixed location. When we recall an experience from ten or twenty years ago, our thoughts can seem to return to that moment in an instant. Thoughts transform, change quickly and can be drawn towards negativity. Yet we have the capacity to train our minds. Those who understand these qualities of the mind devote themselves more diligently to learning and practice. By becoming aware of our thoughts, we can gradually cultivate kindness and wisdom.
The talk was followed by loving-kindness meditation. Together, we extended goodwill to all beings, near and far: May all beings be well and happy.
The evening ended with refreshments and mooncakes. Sharing the moonlit night and the Dhamma together strengthened our friendship in the Dhamma and left us with warm memories.

【马来西亚宏慈佛教会】2026年9月25日｜月满中秋庆团圆，月下闻法修慈心
中秋月圆之夜，佛友们齐聚宏慈寺，礼佛、供养并礼敬三宝。随后，大众前往佛舍利殿绕塔。声声佛号伴着平稳的步伐，大家怀着虔诚的心，安住当下。
绕塔后，佛友们来到大佛殿诵经，聆听宏慈寺住持斯里沙拉南加拉大长老开示，并由义工以华语翻译。
长老分享，佛陀教导我们：人有无限的潜能，也具备思考与辨别的能力。认识自己的心，有助于修行与提升心智。他勉励大众从三个方面学习：汲取知识、思考分析、付诸实践。
单有知识并不足够。我们还需要思考：所学的是否正确？能否运用在生活中？透过思考与分析，我们开始迈向智慧；透过禅修与亲身实践，智慧才能进一步增长。
谈及心的本质，长老提到，心并没有一个容易界定的固定位置。当我们忆起十年、二十年前的经历，心念仿佛瞬间回到当时。心念瞬息变化，也容易被负面念头牵引。人具备训练自心、提升心智的能力。智者认识到心的这些特性，便会更加精进地学习与修行。因此，我们也要学习觉察自己的起心动念，逐步培养善念与智慧。
开示后，大众一同修习慈心禅，把祝福送给身边的人，也送给远方的一切众生：愿大家平安、快乐。
最后，佛友们共享茶点与月饼，在交流中增进法谊。月下相聚、闻法修心，为这个中秋夜晚留下温暖的回忆。
