2022年8月27日，農曆八月初一，本山為提倡孝道月，學習菩薩的悲願、學習報恩孝道法門特舉辦【盂蘭盆修持佛法得無上殊勝功德】佛法研討大會。當天下午兩點，禮請澳中佛教總會會長 般若大和尚、本山住持慧雄大師父、壇講師鄭慶文公證人，每位敬請分享佛法20分鐘。
On August 27, 2022, the 1st day of the eighth lunar month, the temple organized the Buddhist seminar in promoting the filial piety, practicing the great compassionate of Bodhisattva.
At 2:00 p.m, the temple invited the president of Australia-China Buddhist Association, Most Venerable Bo Rue,the Venerable abbot Most Venerable Hui Xiong, and the lecturer notary Mr Zheng Qingwen, hold the Buddhist Seminar, each speaker was given 20 minutes to deliver the Dharma speech.
般師談述七月乃是吉祥月，不是一般民間所認爲七月是鬼月。通過報恩啓發修行的理念達到最高殊勝的功德。舉辦研討會的同時，期望四衆在知見上能得到佛法的正見，發揮生活中的孝道精神。
Venerable Bo Rue said the seventh month is an auspicious month, not the ghost month as what the general public thinks. We achieve the highest merits through the idea of repay kindness. At the same time as the seminar is held, it is hoped that the devotees can gain the right understanding of the Dharma in their knowledge and view, and exert the spirit of filial piety in their lives.
壇講師鄭慶文博士談到三寶弟子對佛法的恭敬供養是必然要做到的。從【佛説盂蘭盆經】看到一位得大聖果修行者為救度其母親，以虔誠供養恭敬，以出世的精神精進持戒，救度母親脫離苦海。必定通過持戒、禪定舉行供養才能得到超升。同時，盂蘭盆不是只有超度鬼道的衆生，更要對自己父母以及累劫父母生起恭敬、供養、孝道之心來發揮報答四重恩，作爲修行的目標才能得到無限量殊勝佛法的功德。
Dr. Zheng Qingwen, the lecturer , said that it is a must and important for devotees to respect Buddha,Dharna & Sangha (Triple Gems). In the Ullambana Sutra, the chief disciples of the Buddha Venerable Maudgalyayana saved his deceased mother from the realm of hungry spirits. He could not bear the sight of his mother in such an extreme state of suffering and begged the Lord Buddha to take pity on his mother and rescue her from the sea of suffering. The only way is to use the combined merits of the Sangha . Make offerings to Sangha with sincerity and respectful. Diligently observe the precepts and practice cultivation. The merits that accumulate are immense beyond imagination, and the Buddha is most delighted. Only by practicing precepts, cultivating samadhi, make an offering to the Sangha,you can liberate your deceased parents and relatives from the suffering of the three evil realms through these immense merits.
The Ullambana is not only for the sentient beings who have been saved from the ghost realm, but also must practice filial piety, respect and repay the kindness to our parents as well as parents from the past lives.
本山住持慧雄大師父説到學習大乘佛法，效仿四大菩薩的悲願。同時，農曆的七月是地藏菩薩的誕辰及目犍連菩薩所提倡的解夏安居供養三寶，提升報恩孝道的精神。同時，做一位修學大乘佛法實踐做人間菩薩、證菩提道、了生死、成佛道。菩提道乃是我們修持善業以助每位衆生脫離苦海，成就世間衆生所作一切善事，利益他人通過包容、付出、承擔、原諒才能達到阿耨多羅三藐三菩提————無上正等正覺。
Most Venerable Hui Xiong, the abbot of the temple, talked about learning Mahayana Buddhism and imitating the compassionate wishes of the four great bodhisattvas. In coincidence, the lunar seventh month is also the birthday of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Venerable Maudgalyayana who make offering

The path of enlightened Bodhi way is to practice good deeds to help every sentient being out of the sea of misery, accomplish all the good deeds done by sentient beings in the world, and benefit others through tolerance, sacrifice, commitment, forgiveness and attain anuttara-samyak-saṃbodhi, the supreme enlightenment.
