[Singapore 新加坡] A Family Under Amitabha’s Care: Sharing Devotion and Gratitude Worldwide 在阿弥陀佛的护佑下的大家庭:共享奉献与感恩

Over the years of serving as a volunteer at Singapore Pure Land Buddhist Amitabha Temple, I have had the privilege of experiencing profound growth and joy. When I first encountered Pure Land Buddhism, I felt deeply inspired and wanted to contribute by offering my services as a volunteer.
多年来,在新加坡净土弥陀寺担任义工的经历,让我在身心方面都获得了深刻的成长与喜悦。当我初次接触净土宗时,就感到非常受启发,并希望通过义工服务来贡献自己的一份力量。

 

I began my journey in late 2021, when I was assigned cleaning duties due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Even though it was a simple task, I was genuinely happy to help maintain the temple’s cleanliness to the best of my ability. As time passed, the temple began to reopen its doors again following government guidelines, with mandatory mask-wearing in place. During this period in 2022, I had the honor of meeting Master Jing Ben and Master Jing Ping when I formally took refuge, which was an important milestone in my spiritual journey.
我在 2021 年年底正式开始这段旅程。当时由于新冠疫情,我被分配负责清洁工作。虽然这是一项相对简单的工作,但我依然非常乐意尽力维护寺院的整洁。随着时间推移,寺院在遵守政府规定、要求戴口罩的情况下逐步重新开放。正是在 2022 年期间,我在正式皈依时有幸见到了净本法师和净平法师,这对我的修行来说是一个重要的里程碑。

 

Through my volunteer work, I’ve taken on a variety of roles, including setting up chairs, taking photos and videos, leading nianfo sessions, assisting with tablet duties, participating in outdoor rites of deliverance, helping the Dharma Masters as needed, and so on. One of the most valuable lessons I've learned is the importance of teamwork in ensuring that Dharma sessions run smoothly and harmoniously.
在服务中,我承担了许多不同的职责,包括摆放椅子、拍照录像、带领念佛、协助管理牌位、参与户外超度仪式,以及在需要时帮助各位师父等等。其中,我学到的最重要的一课,就是团队合作在让法会顺利而和谐进行方面所起到的关键作用。

 

Looking back, I can honestly say that volunteering at the temple has brought me a level of happiness I have never experienced before in my life. Being part of the Dharma family, alongside my fellow volunteers, has been truly enriching. We have grown close, supporting each other as one united family under the care of Amitabha Buddha. It is also deeply fulfilling to see the devotees who come to the temple to practise nianfo, and to know that we are all part of something much larger than ourselves.
回顾过去,我可以真诚地说,在寺院做义工,让我获得了前所未有的幸福感。能够和其他义工一起成为“法亲”,对我来说是一次非常充实的经历。在阿弥陀佛的护佑下,我们就像一个相亲相爱的大家庭,彼此互相支持。同时,看着前来寺院念佛的信众,也让我感到由衷的满足。我们都在共同融入一个超越个人的宏大愿景之中。

 

Despite the challenges of not knowing Chinese and being Deaf, I have found that with determination, a shared goal, and teamwork, no obstacle is too great to overcome. I am also grateful for the endurance of my fellow volunteers and for the translation services that help bridge language barriers. We are all hands and feet of Amitabha Buddha.
尽管我并不懂中文,而且本身是聋人,但我深刻感受到,只要我们拥有共同的目标并协力同心,就没有什么障碍是无法克服的。我也十分感恩与我并肩作战的义工们的耐心,以及各种翻译服务为我们带来的便利。我们就像阿弥陀佛的手与脚,彼此互助互补。

 

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone at the temple for their patience and understanding. I hope I was able to assist whenever needed, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve. I would also like to applaud the tireless and unwavering efforts of all the volunteers of Pure Land Buddhism around the world. I look forward to welcoming more volunteers at various centres who wish to join us in carrying out the noble work of Amitabha Buddha.
我想向寺院的每一位成员表达最诚挚的感谢,感恩大家一直以来对我的包容与理解。我也希望自己在任何需要的时候,都能尽力提供帮助,并感激能有这样一个服务的机会。同时,我也想向全世界所有净土义工的无私奉献和坚定不移的付出致敬。我期待在各地道场迎接更多义工,一起投身阿弥陀佛的崇高事业。
