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.

Freedom, democracy and human rights together with commerce and investments in the economy, to bring about social order and stability, not unlike light and the atmosphere, are essential requirements for human life in the expanse of a world in full progress. Hong Kong is a former British colony returned to China in 1997 and its people are guaranteed basic freedoms under the “One Country, Two Systems” regime, in order to administer the proper maintenance and development of this territory.

The Buddha’s ethical teachings, these essential points of the eightfold path aim at promoting as well as perfecting the three heads of Buddhist training and discipline, namely (a) Ethical Conduct (b) Mental Discipline and (c) Wisdom. According to the capacity of each individual harmoniously cultivated, these points are all linked together and each helps the cultivation of the others.

Buddhism is not a religion for men just to follow but to learn, to understand, to practise, to gain experience. When men come to know the Buddha’s teaching and perhaps practise it to some extent, sometimes they wish to make the Dhamma their direction in life or their guide through life. At that time, their thoughts turn to become a Buddhist.

Mindfulness LLC, Mira Loma High School, ILC, SJTA, SJUSD, California Teachers Association, USA. W. Edward Bureau, Ph.D., Associate Clinical Professor (Retired), Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA Residence in Cochranville, PA, USA Introduction Sustainable peace anchors itself in mindfulness of the present, the people, and the microcosms in which we exist. Rather than existing as a static state, the peace is organic and dynamic, flowing itself around the vagaries of “unpeacefulness.” Thus, being a mindful leader begins with the practice of the Five Mindfulness Trainings (Five Precepts) and the N
