#បុណ្យភ្ជុំបិណ្ឌ2019

Cambodia is the country with long history and rich culture. Cambodians have their great passion about life. In Cambodia, Pchum Ben is like Ching-Ming Festival in China. From the King to the ordinary people, all of them celebrate this festival with Buddhist traditions – they celebrate from the 15th day of the tenth month in the Khmer Buddhist calendar (24th -28th of September 2019) and last 15 days.


This year we also dedicate our merits to the ancestors and will held a Dhamma Assembly on 27th of September as the grand culmination of the whole period.

#បុណ្យភ្ជុំបិណ្ឌ2019

柬埔寨民族是個歷史悠久、熱愛生活、文化色彩豐富的民族,亡人節相當於中國的清明節,上至國王,下至普通民眾都以佛教傳統習俗過節,追思亡靈、祭拜先人是節日的主旨,不同的是柬埔寨的“亡人節”有著濃厚的宗教色彩。在柬埔寨,民俗宗教節日多採用佛曆,每年的佛曆10月黑月1日至15日舉行亡人節(2019年9月14-28日),共進行15天。


不同的是柬埔寨的“亡人節”有著濃厚的宗教色彩。在柬埔寨,民俗宗教節日多採用佛曆,每年的佛曆10月黑月1日至15日舉行亡人節(2019年9月14-28日),共進行15天。 大般若寺為融入當地,將自9月14日起為亡靈設立牌位迴向15天,並訂於9月27日圓滿日做一場大蒙山施食法會。

សូមឧទ្ទិសចំណែកបុណ្យទាំងឡាយទាំងពួងនេះដល់មាតាបិតាជីដូនជីតា បុព្វការីជនទាំងឡាយ សូមបុព្វការីជនទាំងនោះបានសោយសុខក្នុងឋានសួគ៌ឋានសុខកុំបីអាក់ខានឡើយ ៕

#Every_Buddhist_monastery_can_be_a_forest

Human needs the forest. The forest can create the oxygen we need and release Phytoncide to calm people’s mind. Walking in the forest, human can easily relax and reduce the pressure, and further feel the tenderness and compassion of the earth mother.


As of 12 of September, 2019, Maha Panna Vihara and Sir Ngor Chankeasa donated 600 little trees to the temple of the head of monk of Siam Reap Province. The other two kind laypeople supported the delivery and those trees were safely sent to Siam Reap. We wish there will be a mini forest in the future, and every visitor is able to find their inner peace in the woods. We sincerely invite more and more temples to plant the trees in their places and transform the temple as a mini forest for modern human beings.

#每間寺院都可以是一座森林

人類非常需要森林。森林提供新鮮的氧氣並釋放出平靜人心的芬多精;漫步在森林中,人類自然地舒緩壓力,感受大地的溫柔與慈悲。 2019年9月12日,大般若寺與Ngor Chankeasa勛爵共同供養了600棵樹苗給暹粒省托瑪育宗僧侶省長的寺院,


並由居士發心租車運送過去。我們希望能在寺院中營造出一片小森林,讓有緣到寺院參訪學法的眾生享受樹林帶來的內心平靜;更希望有更多寺院一起加入種樹的行列,讓每間寺院都成為一座森林。

# THREE_REFUGES_AND_FIVE_PRECEPTS

In the cooling weather of the end of August, this morning we hold the ceremony of THREE REFUGES AND FIVE PRECEPTS for laypeople. Two lay people proclaim to be a Buddhist and take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, while other abbey residents receive the reinforce precepts.


Preah Krou Nariyadhipatani Kammatthana speaks on the meaning of the three refuges and five precepts. Taking refuges in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha means to let the purifying power of the universe as our spiritual support; keeping the five precepts is the way to remind us stepping forward the virtues and avoiding the evil. Once you promise to hold the precepts carefully, it is definitely to enhance your awareness and gain the wisdom in the process of subduing our mind. That is why we say holding the precepts is good for human life.

#三皈五戒法會

在涼爽清新的八月底,我們在大般若寺為居士舉辦三皈五戒法會,兩位居士發心成為佛弟子,其他居士同受增益戒。上道下院法師特別為居士開示三皈五戒的意義:皈依三寶


讓清淨的力量成為內心的依靠;持守五戒,可時時警惕自己向善止惡。若能持守根本五戒清淨,在調伏自我的過程中自然能增加覺知,提升智慧,這就是受戒的功德力。

#ត្រៃសរណគមន៍និងនិច្ចសីល

Maha Panna

#A_Natural_eco_Life

Most of our daily commodities are made by natural materials—we put pumpkins, sweet potatoes and various fruits in bamboo basketry; we carry fresh vegetables from garden with bamboo containers; we sweep the floor with palm fiber brooms. Almost all the food containers are made by pottery, glass, and stainless steel. Why do the Bhikkhunis discard those so-called



“convenient” plastic-made products? The main reason is to reduce the pollution. We use these natural-made commodities because they won’t pollute the land nor produce garbage. Even we have to throw away them someday, they won’t increase the burden to the land. The second reason is for its harmless to our health. Due to the laziness, human beings abuse plastic products in daily life and adsorb lots of toxin without any consciousness. Although many people consider it is troublesome to use these toxin-free eco commodities, we take such inconvenient but natural eco-life as a good training. It not only can enhance the quality of life, but also assist in our practice. It helps us to go back to a pure and simple life and with it we won’t lapse in inertia and can keep our energy high. Then we can stay in the energy field which is connecting to the nature.


#充滿自然精神的日常生活

大般若寺的日常用品大多來自自然界,我們用竹簍子裝南瓜、地瓜、水果,用竹籃子裝菜園剛摘下的青菜,以棕刷掃把掃地,食物器皿如果不是陶瓷,就是玻璃或不鏽鋼。為什麼比丘尼捨棄便利的塑膠製品不用?最主要的原因是減少汙染。我們希望盡量使用不汙染土地、不製造垃圾的自然材質,


就算將來必須捨棄也不會為環境帶來負擔。其次,天然材質不會危害人體健康,人類因為貪圖方便而過度使用塑膠製品,吸收許多有毒物質而不自知。雖然在別人眼中使用這些環保無毒的日常用品是件麻煩的事,但比丘尼們卻認為這種充滿自然精神的日常生活不僅可以創造真正優良的生活品質,更能助緣我們的修行,讓我們回歸簡單純淨的生活,時時維持動能,處在與自然接軌的能量場中。

大般若寺的建築史非常精彩,每一次灌漿都有不同的挑戰:有時候突然一場大雨來襲,大家得急忙拉帆布遮雨;有時候因為道路顛簸、運輸不易,灌漿銜接不順利。這一次齋堂灌漿工程,我們面臨了挑燈夜戰—從清晨灌漿到午夜12點多才結束,全憑大家平時禪修培養的體力與意志力,更連帶帶動現場的正向積極氛圍。

Charlène is a physic therapist in France and interested in knowledge of universal energy

Charlène is a physic therapist in France and interested in knowledge of universal energy. This February, She flied to Cambodia and spent 10 days retreat in Maha Panna Vihara. She never thought that this retreat experience would change her life and gives her many idea of a spiritual life style. Here is her reflection:

Dear Maha Panna Vihara,
I have flied back one month ago now to my home, so I would like to share my new life style with you…
Since I am home, I promise myself to apply everything you taught to me when I was with you in the temple. That is a conversation I had with the bhikkhunis who welcome me the first day. She told me why she became bhikkhunis: in order to grow up her mind and spirituality because it is very hard to do that in the "normal life". I answered her that I want to try to applied your style life in the normal life just to see if it is possible. So...



You showed me that, with meditation and healthy food when I was with you, I earn 3 hours of life by day (sleep 3 hours less than in France and no be tired, no need to sleep more).
So I organise my time like this in France:
Before meeting you:
wake up at 6H30
go to sleep at 22H30 3
time to eat by day
=>I was so tired After meeting you:

wake up at 4h30 : meditation during 15-30 minutes and then, cooking healthy food (vegan food)
go to sleep at 22h30
2 times to eat by day (morning and lunch, just a tea or tchaï latte on the evening)
 => I am not tired
It was just to try...until I get tired…and if it is not the case, I will continue to help good energy in my body…
For the moment I get a lot of good feelings about changing my life style:
-not so tired
-better feelings as therapist in my job
-following my instinct in my job like master said to me
-better understanding with communication and exchange with others people Master said to me that I was full of low energy in my body and because of that I could be sick or died soon…
I want to thank you and her: because both of you gave me the keys to change that. She told me that she knows how to get this low energy out of her body, but she has not the time to teach me. I think she gave me the teaching by living with you: the key is healthy food and meditation… every days...

Just on the weekend when I meet my family I take a "joker" because I have to eat a little piece of animal food or drink little glass of alcohol. I feel directly the impact on my body on the Monday. And on the Tuesday I have evacuated the toxification…
I will try to take a "joker" just one day on the weekend next month to improve the test and this new style life…
 As Master said, I stay far away from the illusion world with attract low energy. And when a patient of me is full of low energy in a consultation, I take a little time to meditate to evacuate these low energy. If I don't do that, I get tired and sick in my stomach.
I hope you understand my little summary of change in my life thanks to you…
Thank all of you for the keys you gave to me to improve my health and my mind!!
I will try to sum up in one or two month to explain you if what you teach to me is able to be applied in "normal life"...
I wish you a very good evening,
Take care of both of you..
With metta, Charlène



In the conversation about Dhamma

前幾天我們有機緣接待來自加拿大、澳洲與越南的比丘尼來訪大般若寺,做佛法的交流。交流談話中,我們都認同少欲知足的頭陀精神對修行助緣極大,當我們依循三衣一鉢、簡單飲食、離塵而居的方式修行,確實更能體會過於豐盛的物質生活只會帶給人類更多負擔與煩惱,唯有不斷淨化自己、圓滿內心世界才是修行生活的重心。




A few days ago, we had the opportunity to receive a visit from Canada, Australia and Vietnam to visit big temple to make a dharma exchange. In the exchange and talk, we all agree that the spirit of less content is extremely helpful to practice. When we follow the three clothes, a simple diet, a simple diet, and living away from the dust, we really can experience too abundant material life. Bring more burden and troubles to humanity. Only by constantly purify yourself, a successful inner world is the center of practicing life.

Natural Fungi

បន្ទាប់ពីមានភ្លៀងធ្លាក់រួចមកផ្សិតដ៏គួរស្រឡាញ់ទាំងនេះបានលេចចេញជារូបរាងឡើងនៅក្នុងព្រៃឈើរបស់យើង។ វាជាអំណោយយ៉ាងភ្ញាក់ផ្អើលពីធម្មជាតិ។


下雨過後,大般若寺的森林中出現了可愛的大腿菇,大自然隨時會給人驚喜! After the rain,
these lovely mushrooms appear in our forest. It is the surprising gifts from the nature.
