《我是誰》靜修營

.

無論我們處於什麼光境，但凡活在世上，便須叩問「我是誰」

在生命中每個階段，我們對這問題或許都有不同的想法，這些想法影響我們如何看待世界，也引領我們步向不同的人生。我們對「我」的認知，既是我們在困難時，撐下去的動力，也包含我們對未來的幻想和自我期許。了解自己，就是尋找生存的意義。

.

然而，我們有認真學過如何認識自己嗎？

我們可以隨心所欲地做自己嗎？

.

讓我們從這條簡單的問題開始，透視內心，認識佛法。學習以不同的角度看內在及外在的世界，重新發現我們的內在慈悲與智慧，讓我們更有能力追尋真善美。

.

「我是誰」貫穿了很多佛法智慧和問題…

· 如何看透別人和自己的內心？

· 如何理解起伏跌蕩的情緒世界？

· 我的本質是什麼？我在世界的角色是什麼？

· 善與惡間，我如何選擇？

· 如果提升我在暴風雨中的心靈強度?

· 這世界是否只有「你」和「我」的二元世界？

· 死後的「我」會否灰飛煙滅？

.

日期：10月4日晚上 至 10月7日中午 (5 - 7日皆為假期)

.

靜修營將在寧靜止語中進行。以「我是誰？」題目作為切入點；以《菩薩道次第廣論*》為根本，由具德的法師Venerable Namgyel指導參加者運用聞法﹑討論﹑靜觀和分析禪等修行方法，以佛法作導航，讓你更懂愛自己﹑愛別人。如果你明明喜歡得到，不喜歡失去；喜歡快樂，不喜歡痛苦；喜歡被稱揚，不喜歡被謾駡，整天被這些風雨吹得團團轉，卻自稱對一切都不執著，那只是自欺欺人罷了。在風雨中，更要對自己坦白，努力修持，學習，更有能力追求真善美。

.

#靜修營沒有任何機構或基金資助。同時我們希望有意學習者不受經濟能力所障，故此，綜援受助人或經濟困難者，如未能負擔費用，可聯絡我們申請延期繳費或獎學金。

.

*菩提道次第廣論在藏傳佛教體系中，是總攝顯教教義的重要論典，供學生由淺入深，循序漸進地修習，直至證悟。「菩提」指證悟，「道」指獲得證悟所必須經歷的修學過程，「次第」就是說明修學過程必須經歷的各個階段，故名「菩提道次第」。

"Who am I" Retreat

From a simple question "Who am I?", it could be revealed by looking into the heart of Buddha Dharma. This camp will use the Lamrim as basic content, to learn the perspective of Buddha to re-discover our inner nature – wisdom and compassion. 

In the different stages of our lives, we have different ideas and thoughts about the question "Who am I?". It relates to our self-identity which affects us how to see and respond to the world; this could also be the positive driving energy in the times of difficulty; our expectation of ourselves and the future...

.

The question of "Who am I?" touches on a lot of Dharma wisdom, for example

• To understand our emotions, thoughts and actions

• What is our true nature besides the body, the five senses, and the consciousness?

• Is the world only a dualistic world of “you” and “me”?

• After death, will there be an “I” anymore?

.

Date: 4 - 7 th Oct 

Venue : The Hong Kong Buddhist Association Shatin Centre 

Suggested Donation: $1600 - 2500#

.

Venerable Namgyel will guide the participants to look into this question, by the methods of teaching, discussion, Q&A and analyzing meditation to Dharma. Let's come with an open heart and mind, to know more about yourself and others, thus we could love ourselves and others better. The retreat camp will be conducted in silence, conducted in English with Cantonese translation.

.

* Lamrim (the Graduated Path to Enlightenment) is a Tibetan Buddhist textual form for presenting the stages in the complete path to enlightenment as taught by Buddha.

# We have a few scholarships available for those who need financial help

.

Rules of Basic Retreat Discipline:

• Please avoid intoxicants such as alcohol, drugs and cigarettes (we encourage you to stop smoking while here, but if this is impossible, one can smoke outside the centre boundary).

• Ensure quality rest time: Please turn off the lights after 10 pm in dorm rooms, including mobile phone flashlights. (If you are not ready to sleep, please stay outside the room or remain silent in room).

•Dress respectfully (please no shorts above the knee, tank-top shirts or tight and revealing clothing).

• In order to keep the atmosphere conducive to inner reflection and spiritual pursuit and to minimize distractions during the course, please keep silent during the retreat. Do not sing or play music.

• Please settle all outside communication before the course begins. Telling friends and family that you will be out of contact for the duration of the course and sticking by that decision significantly reduces distraction from investigation into the workings of your own mind.

• Participants must attend all sessions of the course and come to sessions on time. If there is something preventing you from coming to class, you must notify the volunteer.

.

Notices:

• Due to the late check-in time, the retreat place will not be able to provide dinner. Please take care the dinner before coming.

• Participants must be at least 18 years old.

• Disclaimer: Participants are required to take responsibility for any accident or sudden illness during the retreat. They will be sent to the government hospital nearby for treatment and agree to bear all responsibilities and expenses, and will not ask the organizer to take any responsibility or make any compensation.

.

Arrangement in bad weather:

• If the Observatory has already hoisted black rainstorm signal or the typhoon signal No. 3 or above four hours before the entry time, the registration arrangement for the day will be cancelled. All arrangements will be announced by telephone, email and Facebook.

• If black rainstorm signal or typhoon signal No. 3 or above is hoisted during the camp period, the organizer will make appropriate arrangements due to the weather conditions at the time of the event and the safety of each student. All arrangements are finalized by the organizer;

• If the retreat has to be cancelled due to the above conditions, the organizer will not send back any balance or refund, please kindly understand.
