三步一拜 Three Steps, One Bow Ceremony
朝山千古事，天地一头陀。朝山是历代高僧历境炼心的一种修持法门，流传至今成为三步一拜，每一拜都是对佛陀的礼敬。
这个卫塞节，光明山普觉禅寺诚邀大众参与三步一拜，共同体验这份殊胜的法喜。
愿每一次跪拜，击碎贡高我慢；
愿每一滴汗水，滋养菩提心苗；
愿额头触地的瞬间，照见心莲的绽放；
如莲花出淤泥而不染，让我们以谦卑为根，以精进为叶，绽放智慧之花。
Through the ages, Buddhist monks embarked on long and arduous pilgrimages to sacred mountains, seeking to refine their minds and honour the Buddha. From their devotion, the “Three Steps, One Bow” practice emerged — a journey of humility, repentance and inner transformation.
With every three steps, we bow — shedding arrogance, purifying the heart and deepening our connection to the Dharma.
This Vesak, take part in this sacred tradition. Step by step, bow by bow, let us cultivate wisdom and compassion together.
May each bow dissolve arrogance and pride.
May every drop of sweat nourish the sprout of Bodhi.
May the moment the forehead touches the ground illuminate the blooming lotus of the mind.
Like a lotus rising unstained from the mud, let us take humility as our root, diligence as our leaves, and wisdom as our blossom.
