(XNUMX) The prestigious cause promoted the lectures on propagating the Dharma in Brazil

(This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Dear friends, hello everyone, Amitabha!Today is a very special day. We are about to exchange Dharma in this natural lecture hall in the Mango Tree Park in the beautiful city of Brazil. This cause is very special and very rare.Not only can it show the friendship between Brazil and Taiwan, but it also shows the hearts and minds of our religious believers, so today's gathering makes us more hopeful for the world.

Although this gathering lasted only two hours, it is mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures that the most representative "Hua Yan Sutra" in Mahayana Buddhism tells us the truth of the universe, one sand and one world, and the moment is eternity. That is to say, the time and space of the universe are fully fulfilled before the present, and they exist at the same time.So if there is any word in our communication today that can enter your heart and let our hearts meet each other, then at this moment, it can have a very significant meaning in the infinite days to come, so I am very grateful for the fate of this lecture today, thank you Cristina and my good friend for your initiation, and thank you all for your participation.

Cristina and I met on Facebook in 2010, how many years? In 2012, the year the end of the world was prophesied, it was really strange. Our two languages ​​were completely incomprehensible. It was just translated through Google, but our hearts seemed to be able to communicate. She was a very devout Catholic, and me. He is a Buddhist monk who will not change if killed, but maybe we have the same heart. We all love everyone in this world and hope to do our part in environmental protection. So we appreciate each other, admire each other, Work together, work hard for environmental protection, and work hard to change for the sake of serving all living beings.

Maybe we are a family in the past life, because our Buddhism talks about reincarnation, past life, and afterlife, so we can’t do bad things, we will suffer in the next life if we do bad things.Ugh!It’s okay if you don’t die, so I believe that our current Catholic Church, Francis, would be very happy if he knew about our gathering today, because I know Catholics and I have heard the Pope’s appeal, Catholics must shake hands with Buddhists and be good friends, and truly implement God’s will to love all the world. Therefore, I also look forward to this Pope Francis, because he has a Christian background. During his tenure, he also It can lead Christians to open up and accept Buddhism like you Catholics. If you are good friends, we can work together to do things for all beings.

The cause of our party today is really very rare. In fact, Cristina invited me about two years ago, about two years ago. I was taken aback, and I was very surprised, oh!The mind is so great, but because it was too far away, and there were a lot of things, so I couldn’t spare time, so I told her that I hope to come, but hope that there will be this cause, then now the cause is mature, so I am here .

Although I am here, I don’t understand a word of Portuguese, so I also want to thank our translator, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, and there is a great guardian Bodhisattva behind us. He has lived in Sao Paulo for 15 years and 10 years. , The abbot of our Mi Tuo Temple, without their help, our gathering would not be able to communicate, because our monks are all a family, it will be more inconvenient for me to come later because it is too far away.I hope he can continue this cause and cooperate with you all, so that we can do more meaningful things together.
