优婆夷培训活动

在佛教里,亲近三宝并护持佛教的女性会被称为优婆夷。从佛陀的时代开始,优婆夷就已经在护持寺院和僧众里担任着重要的角色,并被看作佛教四众之一,佛教四众分别是:比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷 。在优婆夷里值得称道的是维毘舍大优婆夷,她建立了一所名为普盘寺的重要的佛教寺院。

优婆夷培训活动是培养信仰佛教的女性有道德及佛教理念,目的是使她们能够有机会来到寺院亲近三宝,持守八戒,诵经打坐,聆听佛法,因为这是一条从佛法启蒙到开悟的的道路。幼苗优婆夷的意思是以戒为规范,使得身口意清净,实践中道,也就是修学八正道,自然漂亮和纯洁就如同刚刚绽放的花蕾,外在也因戒力而变明亮;内在的法身是佛的种子,也因定和慧的力量而变得明亮,成为真正亲近三宝的优婆夷。此项培训活动将会提高整个泰国乃至佛教的道德水平,令国家和佛教也就变得更稳定。

因此,宗教艺术文化众议院理事、法身寺、法身基金会、泰国乡镇领袖联盟、国际佛学会和赞助者,将于佛历2553年3月8日至15日在全泰国各府的寺院,举办这次100000人的大型幼苗优婆夷出家培训营。目标不仅仅在提升泰国百万位女子的伦理道德,使她们成为坚信三宝者,更可以稳定佛教,复兴全世界的美德。

在这培训期间佛法的熏陶中,幼苗优婆夷通过正知正念,清净身口意,防止过失和不犯错误,使自己身心符合伦理道德规范,向善的方向发展。那些参与了这项培训计划的幼苗优婆夷将会在未来护持佛教和复兴世界道德文化扮演重要的角色。
