✨尊者开示要点✨
Salient Points from Ven. Rathanasara’s Sermon

今天是一个充满感恩的日子。我们怀着感恩之心追思已故的亲人，并在此将通过向僧团（Mahā Saṅgha）布施（Dāna）所积攒的功德回向给他们。
Today is a day of gratitude. We remember with gratitude our departed loved ones, and we are here to share with them the merits we have accumulated through our Dāna offerings to the Mahā Saṅgha.

尊者特别强调了佛陀关于行善的三条忠告：
The Venerable highlighted three pieces of advice from the Buddha on doing good:

🔖行善莫等待，行善当及时
我们不应推迟善行。当我们行善时，也在守护和防范自己的内心免受不善念与不善行的侵扰。例如，当我们对他人表达善意时，便能防止内心中不善的念头与粗暴的态度萌生。因此，只要有机会，我们就应当努力去行善。
1. Do not wait to do good — do good now.
We should not postpone wholesome actions. When we do good, we are also protecting and guarding our minds from unwholesome thoughts and actions. For example, when we speak kindly to others, we prevent unwholesome thoughts and harshness from arising in our minds. Therefore, we should make an effort to do good whenever we have the opportunity.

🔖莫以善小而不为
正如水滴石穿、水罐由点滴之水渐满一样，我们的功德库也是通过无数微小的善行累积而成的。哪怕是看似微小的善意与慷慨之举，也能改变我们的性格。每一次善行都能巩固我们的善根，让我们的生命变得更有意义、更加美好。
2. Do not belittle small acts of merit.
Just as a jug is not filled all at once but gradually, drop by drop, our store of merit is built up through many small wholesome actions. Even seemingly small acts of kindness and generosity can transform our character. Every good action strengthens our wholesome qualities and contributes to making our lives more meaningful and beautiful.

🔖行善当持之以恒，反复为之
善行应当成为我们日常生活的一部分。与其出于责任或义务去行善，不如在行善积德的过程中感受快乐与喜悦。
3. When we do good, let us do it again and again.
Wholesome actions should become a regular part of our lives. Rather than doing good merely out of duty or obligation, let us find happiness and joy in performing good deeds.

最后，在我们尚在人世时，应当依靠自己去修习和积累功德。我们应当把握每一个机会去行善、涵养善品质，为自己的快乐与福报创造因缘。
Finally, while we are still alive, we should depend on ourselves to cultivate and accumulate merit. We should take every opportunity to do good, cultivate wholesome qualities, and create our own causes for happiness and well-being.

善哉! 善哉! 善哉!

*The Vassāna Retreat*
Vassāna is the Pāli word for the rainy season. This three-month spiritual retreat begins on the full moon day of Āsāḷha (the second full moon after Vesak) and concludes on the full moon day of Vap (the fifth full moon after Vesak).

During this sacred period, Buddhist monks worldwide undertake the Vassāna Retreat—either sponsored by lay devotees or on their own initiative—bringing communities together in shared practice.

*Historical Origin*
During the time of the Buddha, monks led a nomadic life, traveling continuously to teach the Dhamma. However, while the Buddha was residing in Rājagaha, critics pointed out that traveling during the monsoon season caused monks to accidentally crush small creatures and insects on the muddy paths. Noting that even wild animals seek shelter during the rains, the Buddha advised his disciples to remain indoors during the rainy season, declaring:

“Anujānāmi bhikkhavē vassānē vassaŋ upagantuŋ”
> “Oh monks, I enjoin you to observe the Rainy Retreat during the rainy season.”

*Significance for Monks and Lay Devotees*
This period of secluded residence allows monks to deepen their spiritual practice, meditation, and wisdom. For lay devotees, Vassāna offers a unique opportunity to learn the Dhamma and cultivate wholesome merits through three core practices:
Dāna (Generosity): Offering requisites to the monastic community.
Sīla (Morality): Upholding and deepening adherence to the Precepts.
Bhāvanā (Mental Development): Practicing meditation.
For over 2,600 years, this enduring tradition has guided countless monastics and lay followers along the path toward the end of suffering and the realization of Nibbāna.

*An Invitation to Generate Merit*
Participating in the Vassāna Retreat—in any way you can—yields profound merits that bring happiness, peace, and well-being in this life and beyond. Ultimately, these wholesome deeds help pave the way toward Nibbāna, the Supreme Bliss.

Yours in Dhamma,
Ruwan Buddhist Society
