Buddhist Etiquette Class 佛教礼仪班

The concept of “three thousand rules of proper manners and eighty thousand fine practices” suggests that positive conduct not only harmonises the practitioner’s body and mind but also contributes to the enlightenment of all sentient beings. In Buddhism, the four kinds of comportment — walk like the wind, stand like a pine, sit like a bell and lie like a bow — guide us to cultivate mindfulness in our actions, speech, and thoughts as we partake in these activities. By engaging in this practice, we can reflect on our inner spiritual journey through our outward conduct.

所谓“三千威仪，八万细行”，良好的威仪不仅可以调和行者的身心，也能摄受他人。佛教的四威仪包含行如风、坐如钟、立如松、卧如弓。让我们从行、住、坐、卧中训练身、口、意业的清净，从外在的威仪中体现出内在的修持。
