難忘的生日-- 出海放生 {{ Wretch/22-11-2009 }}
今天和很多同在十一月份生日的信徒們,
乘着一艏名位 [ 郑和] 的古色古香船只
一起出海到位于新加坡南部的海域放生,
蠻有新鲜、也很别開生面的體驗,永遠難忘的生日。
信徒們及四位空門師父坐上三輛旅游巴士车,
浩浩荡荡来到南部海港上船,
船只古色古香,两边船身還有刻印龍頭,
師父們念完佛经,大伙儿排隊在船的一邊,
工作人員给每个信徒一个胶桶放着两条魚兒,
排隊後繞道另一邊再慢慢把胶桶裡的魚兒
倒入一条绑在船边垂到海里的一条像沟渠跑道,
看着魚兒坐滑梯倒入海裡,美妙极了,
在心裡默念 阿彌陀佛! 阿彌陀佛! 阿彌陀佛!
放完魚兒,大伙儿一起唱生日歌,切蛋糕,
師父也拿起乐器,奏起乐来还不赖,满好聽。
過后又有自助餐,我到船的甲板上去拍照,
由其新加坡南部景色太美了,也看到龜島、聖淘沙島。
很難得有這樣的機會坐船出海過生日,拍了很多照,
若有機會再去放生,就不可能再碰到是生日的當天,
所以抓紧机會赶紧拍个不停,電池都耗尽了。
我難忘的五十大壽!
