May the Month of Saga Dawa prosper all over the world,
May the Month of Saga Dawa last forever,
May the Month of Saga Dawa be honored and superior to all directions
The auspicious Month of Saga Dawa is a special holiday for our great master and compassionate Lord Sakyamuni Buddha.
Shakyamuni Buddha is needed not only by Buddhists but by all people in the world. He should be remembered and explored by all sentient beings. Why is this? What is it that all of us on Earth are looking forward to? It is peace. What is the supreme way to achieve peace? It is righteous Dharma. Who preached the Dharma? It was preached by the Greatest Compassionate Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha.
Because of this, we should never forget our fundamental master Shakyamuni Buddha in our mind. A Dharma assembly to celebrate Buddha’s birthday should be held to commemorate it, and the greatest master should be repaid for his kindness. I have, am, and will continue to urge for this matter.
The object of offering and the field of blessing in the Buddha's Birthday Festival is Sakyamuni Buddha because this blessing field is a special Buddha field for Buddhist planting and cultivation. If you take refuge in the Buddha and take refuge diligently, pay homage and circumambulate, recite the name and mantra, make offerings, admire, pray for confession, dedicate and make vows, etc., you will perfectly attain the vast merits of yourself and others. Just by hearing the name of the Buddha "Sakyamuni", any sentient being will sow the seeds of liberation in the continuum and will not retreat on the path to great Bodhi. This is declared in the sutra.
How to hold Buddha's Birthday Festival: Starting one month before the festival distribute mascots and issue appropriate notices; soften your body and stop talking; first take refuge in the mind in front of the three-body statue of the fundamental Master Sakyamuni Buddha by remembering the kindness of the Buddha. Next, initiate the supreme bodhicitta, then visualize the Buddha, the Great Compassion, truly residing in front of oneself. Further, accumulate the seven branches of offerings; recite the mantra of the Buddha’s name, make broad appropriate offerings and praises, and make broad and profound dedications. One should practice this perfect ritual with [Three Supreme] qualities.
Finally, during the sitting period and the time after the Dharma Assembly, the temples and Buddhist academies remember the kindness of the Buddha while working diligently on the important contents of the Dharma Assembly by gathering the faithful members of the agricultural and animal husbandry tribes in their respective villages. Young and old, especially students in colleges and universities, and other young people carry forward propagating the dharma and proclaiming the name of the Buddha; use various methods to establish the cause of publicizing the Buddha; and discuss Buddhism, teach refuge precepts, solemnly swear oaths, call for vegetarianism, and release lives to redeem their lives. By accumulating resources and using the [Four Means of Embracing] to achieve the benefit of sentient beings, we can work diligently dedicated to Buddha's delighted goal.
For Buddha's Birthday Festival and its branches, we Buddhists should regard it as the foundation of all activities of the Buddha. It is the crystal mirror that promotes and clearly introduces the Buddha, the Great Compassion, to the world. It is the wish-fulfilling treasure that generates all the good roots of all accumulated resources and clears obstacles for all Buddhist practitioners; it is endless feasts that are the infinite seed that sows the seeds of liberation and expands the scale of joy in the continuum of weak sentient beings. It is a rare magical means that can enhance great measures for the benefit of the congregation; it is the mother who sends out the radiance of unsullied peace to the world without partiality.
Now because of this, we all welcome Buddha's Birthday Festival together, we all participate in this Buddha's Birthday Festival together, and we all promote this Buddha's Birthday Festival together. May this Buddha's Birthday Festival prosper all over the world, may this Buddha's Birthday Festival last for a long time, and may this Buddha's Birthday Festival be respected in all directions.
