2023寶光崇正《進德修業苦樂行 為道付出使命成》

今(2023)年4月29、30日是寶光崇正專為年輕一代所開設的大學進德班，在開課第一天，看見上天總有最好的安排。

The Jin-De Youth Class on April 29th and 30th, 2023, was specifically arranged for the youth by Baoguang Chongzheng. Everything is the best arrangement by the divine.

發心利他 選擇付出

在一大早，韓湘子大仙臨壇就與全班慈悲「在社會中有一群人總會選擇付出，但不是因為他們原本就富足，而是因為他們把快樂建立在別人的幸福上面。」

與我們共同探討：今日當班員坐在台下上課，除了肉眼所見的主領班點傳師忙碌安排課程，還有廚房前賢用心備菜、貼心陪班的小班長，以及在佛堂各個角落投入付出的所有前賢，這些點傳師、前賢知道有眾生在等著自己，所以充滿動力。

Generating the aspiration to benefit others, choosing to give.
In the early morning, Han Xiang-Zi Devine came to the altar and encouraged the class by saying, "There is always a group of people in society who choose to give not because they are already wealthy, but because they build their joy on the happiness of others." Then, the Buddha continued, “Today, in addition to the leading Tao Transmitting Masters on stage who are busy arranging the curriculum, there are also diligent kitchen volunteers preparing meals, thoughtful team leaders accompanying the class members, and all the other volunteers who dedicate themselves in every corner of the temple. They are motivated because they know that there are so many sentient beings waiting for them, and thus they are energised. 

聽完之後心中升起一股暖意，原來今天的一切得來不易、自己的修辦路並不孤單。

After listening to this, a warmth arose in my heart. I realized that nothing we have experienced today has come easy, and I am not alone on the path of Dao cultivation.

予樂拔苦 實踐真理

大仙也持續慈悲大家「在道場中有一群人總是以道場為主，但不是因為他們不怕辛苦，而是因為他們把價值設定為予樂和拔苦」以及「在世界中有一群人總能思想脫俗，但不是因為他們生來便悟，而是因為他們把真理實踐於腳下的每一步。」

Bringing joy, relieving suffering embodying truth
The devine continued to encourage everyone by saying, "There is always a group of people in the temple who prioritize the Dao, not because they are not afraid of hard work, but because they value giving joy and relieving suffering. There is always a group of people in the world who can transcend mundance thoughts, not because they are born enlightened, but because they put the truth into practice with every step they take."

妙極精神 感動學子

大德翁領導前人嵩慶於課程中，分享妙極大帝為了回臺灣宣揚大道，放棄了浙江陸軍醫院上校院長一職、拋棄一切榮華富貴，並在師尊面前立下誓愿：「為道犧牲一切，粉身碎骨萬死不辭。」回到臺灣開荒闡道，成為道傳臺灣第一人，這樣的精神也感染了在場所有年輕學子。

The extraordinary spirit that moves the students deeply.
In the lecture of the Venerable Weng Song-Qing Qian Ren, he shared that Great Sage Miao-Ji gave up his position as the director of the Zhejiang Army Hospital and his fame and fortune, and in front of the Enlightened Master, Ji-Gong Living Buddha, he vowed "I am willing to sacrifice everything for the Dao and be loyal even unto death." He then returned to Taiwan to propagate the Dao and became the first person to transmit the Dao in Taiwan. This spirit had also moved everyone present in the audience.

善用科技 線上傳譯

為了達成道傳萬國九州的神聖使命，線上課程也採取多國語言同步口譯、影片也附上英文字幕，讓本次進德班的印度及國外班員能夠更投入學習；而遠在美國、加拿大、中南美洲各國開荒點傳師，平時用線上課程拉近與眾生的距離，並利用義診活動，實體見面渡眾引眾。

Skillful utilization of technology for online interpretation.
In order to achieve the sacred mission of spreading the Dao throughout the world, we had simultaneous interpretation in multiple languages online, and English subtitles were also provided for the videos, allowing foreign class members to be more engaged in their learning. Besides, the masters from the United States, Canada, and Central and South America usually shorten the distance between sentient beings and themselves through online courses. They also use medical outreach activities to provide opportunities for face-to-face interactions with sentient beings to make them receive the Dao. 

天人成全 無盡感恩

感謝天恩師德及諸天仙佛搭幫助道，短短幾天內讓320位墨西哥眾生順利求道，點道點傳師及求道的道親感動的淚流滿面。種種的顯化與感應讓人感到驚喜，一切的一切都是上天最好的安排與成全。

The harmonious collaboration of heavenly and human forces, endless gratitude.
Thanks to the grace and virtues of Heaven and the helps of God and Buddhas, within a few days, 320 Mexican sentient beings have successfully received the Dao, bringing tears to the eyes of the local masters and Dao members. All these miraculous manifestations  and resonances brought delightful surprise to people, and everything is the best arrangement by the divine.
