Góp lời cầu nguyện cho Chùa Việt Nam, Houston

Góp lời cầu nguyện cho Chùa Việt Nam, Houston
A roof of the prayer hall collapsed early this morning at the Vietnamese Buddhist Center in far Southwest Houston. The Houston Fire Department tells Eyewitness News that no one was inside at the time and no one was hurt.

An alarm went off about 1:45am this morning at the temple on Synott between Old Richmond and West Bellfort, alerting the monks who live on property the building to collapse. One Buddhist follower we spoke to says he received a phone call at home and just had to come see this for himself.




"At first we didn't really believe it... We drove out here. Luckily nobody was in the building," said Khoa Ngo.

The prayer hall can hold hundreds of people, and parts of the ceiling collapsed to the ground. HFD says engineers will inspect the building later today to determine what should happen next.

Vô thường


Chánh Điện Chùa con đã sập rồi,

Vô thường không chừa chổ lựa nơi

Uy nghiêm sừng sững sao sập dễ.

Cấu trúc phải kiên cố mọi thời

May mà giấc khuya không người tới

Chớ không đổ nát lại tiêu đời

Cảnh Báo Già Lam xây đồ sộ

Kỷ thuật cấu trúc chớ là lơi

Chuyện không tưởng nổi vậy mà tưởng nổi

Chánh Điện Chùa Việt Nam sập khuya nay

Không chúng sanh nào có mặt may thay !

Chỉ Phật, Bồ Tát, Kinh đầy đở cho.

XÓT XA THAY KHI HAY CHÙA SỤP ĐỔ

 

Chùa là chỗ tựa tâm linh,

Cho bao sanh chúng náu mình về đây.

Vô thường nghiệt ngã lắm thay,

Hủy đi tất cả chẳng tày một ai.

Linh thiêng Phật Tổ Như Lai,

Như Như bất động trong tai họa này.

Cùng là cảnh báo từ nay,

Xây chùa dựng miếu phải xây cho bền.

Xây chùa lớn nhỏ tùy duyên,

Đừng nên xây lớn thiếu tiền bớt công.

Dã tràng xe cát biển đông,

Khổ cho đại chúng nhọc công Dã tràng.

Cấu trúc xây dựng đàng hoàng,

Thì đâu để sập dễ dàng hôm nay.

Cổ xưa cho tới ngày nay,

Chùa xây kiên cố chẳng lay chẳng sờn.

Bởi chùa là chỗ Thánh Nhơn,

Là nơi Phật hiển điển thiêng cứu đời.

Nay chùa sụp đổ thay lời,

Nhắc nhở tất cả người đời về sau.

Xây chùa đắn trước nghĩ sau,

Nhà Lam kiên cố đời sau lưu truyền.

Đừng nên tham lớn, tham cao,

Để rồi thiếu trước hụt sau không bền.

Chùa xây kiên cố vững bền

Giúp cho đại chúng bình yên tu hành

Nam Mô Bổn Sư Thích Ca Mâu Ni Phật.

Our immense pleasure is to present to you this remarkable conference book – Buddhism: A Historical and Practical Vision. Inside these pages lies a stunning tapestry of wisdom created by the joint dedication and hard work of young Vietnamese Buddhist monks and nuns scholars who have explored the legacy of Buddhism in depth. From exploring the compatibility and integration of Mahāyāna Buddhism’s teachings with realistic political theory on leadership and the introduction Buddhist philosophy and the establishment and significance of Buddhist universities in the United States, each paper stands as a testament to the vibrant diversity and enduring relevance of Buddhist thought. Among the thought-provoking papers, you will discover insightful investigations into the practical theory of impermanence as a means to enhance one’s own living experience. Additionally, a critical interpretation of Nibbāna from Dr. Ambedkar’s perspective in the Indian Engaged Buddhist Movement sheds light

Dealing with the chosen work, I observe that a puggala has been present in the world because of dependent origination (paṭiccasamuppāda) or continuity of change (santāna). The five masses of elements (pañcakkhandhā), which constitute the puggala and the world around him, are without any substance (anattā), impermanent (anicca) and they are really causes of grief (dukkha)...

War - we all know this word. There were too many battles in this world since we were the nomads, wandering over sea and land up to the time when the acquisition of material goods increased over time and possession became more powerful in their desire to master and dominate the world. In family and society, from the young to the dignitary, none of them want to give up possession but always to get more. The more assets, the greater desire. The more one tries to get, the stronger greed and selfishness fortifies.

The story of the murder of a law ex-student named Raskolnikov is told in Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment”. After suppressing his crime for several days in tremendous agony and terrible suffering in his conscience, Raskolnikov resolved to confess his wrongdoing to his companion, Sonia. In his confession, Raskolnikov reveals some motives for his crime, but he does not explain exactly why the elderly woman ought to be murdered. The tale then presents a mystery, a crime, as a result of Raskolnikov’s predestination. The purpose of this article is to prove that the motive of Raskolnikov’s crime is not his destiny, but rooted in his mind.

Nguyện đem công đức này, trang nghiêm Phật Tịnh Độ, trên đền bốn ơn nặng, dưới cứu khổ ba đường,
nếu có người thấy nghe, đều phát lòng Bồ Đề, hết một báo thân này, sinh qua cõi Cực Lạc.

May the Merit and virtue,accrued from this work, adorn the Buddhas pureland,
Repay the four great kindnesses above, andrelieve the suffering of those on the three paths below,
may those who see or hear of these efforts generates Bodhi Mind, spend their lives devoted to the Buddha Dharma,
the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
