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.

Short Dhamma Stories for Kids, It is my great pleasure being able to present a “Short Dhamma Story” for children. I have translated “Punchi Bana Katha” which was written in Sinhalese by the Venerable Welewatte Gunaratana Thero. My main object of this noble work is to develop children’s Dhamma knowledge and moral education. Most Venerable B. Sri Saranankara Adhikarana (Judiciary) Nayaka Maha Thera gave me his fullest support and encouraged me in my present work. So my respectful and sincere heartfelt thanks go to him. My very special thanks also goes to the President, Mr. G. Mervyn Weerasena and all members of the Siri Jayanti Association who pursed on my humble attempt. My special thanks goes to Venerable Welewatte Gunaratana Thero who gave me a proper consent to translate into English his Sinhalese book (Punci Bana Katha).

Buddhist path of liberation is indeed a process of purification of mind. Its preliminary step is found in the training of Sīla, which finds expression through right speech, right actions and right livelihood. The follower mainly to get rid of the mental defilements such as craving, aversion and ignorance practices these three steps of the Noble Eightfold path. It is evident that the wrong speech, wrong actions and wrong livelihood lead to the development of those defilements in the mind. Through the training of conduct (Sīla) most of the rough defilements can be restrained.

I once heard it said of man that the idea is to die young, as late as possible. At age 85, a favorite pastime of George H. W. Bush was firing up his boat, the Fidelity, and opening up the three 300-horsepower engines to fly, joyfully fly across the Atlantic, with the Secret Service boats straining to keep up. At age 90, George H. W. Bush parachuted out of an aircraft and landed on the grounds of St. Ann’s by the Sea in Kennebunkport, Maine, the church where his mom was married and where he worshipped often. Mother liked to say he chose the location just in case the chute didn’t open. In his 90s, he took great delight when his closest pal, James A. Baker, smuggled a bottle of Grey Goose vodka into his hospital room. Apparently it paired well with the steak Baker had delivered from Morton’s.

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.
