疫災無畏法船開

睿性圓滿啟明德 德澤群黎臻至善
感謝天恩師德、白水聖帝護佑、不休息菩薩慈悲，在全體壇主齊心努力下，歷經兩年的籌備，群志睿德壇終於在2021年1月3日正式啟航！儘管處於新冠疫情阻斷措施時期，條條的規章卻阻斷不了崇德人開創佛堂的真心與決心。藍壇主慷慨提供房子、學長姐們無私奉獻，十二位壇主、副壇主萬分感激！前賢後學互相提攜一起修辦，以善願凝聚修辦的力量，方能實現一艘法船，開創三多四好的航程。

Thank you for the Grace of Heaven, Enlightened Masters’ virtues, Bai-Shui Sheng-Di’s and Bu-Xiu-Xi Bodhisattva’s steadfast spirits, and the temple hosts’ united efforts, Rui-De Temple was finally established on 03 January 2021 after two years of preparation. The COVID-19 pandemic and the authorities’ strict safety measures did not affect the unwavering faith and commitment of the Chong-De family in setting up temples. The twelve temple hosts are extremely grateful for Mr. Lam Yon Heng and family’s generosity in offering a wonderful place to house the temple. We are also appreciative of the selfless contribution and care from fellow Tao seniors of the Collegiate Section. Tao seniors and juniors support each other throughout the cultivation journey, actualizing this dharma boat with their compassionate vows, which consolidated the power of cultivation and propagation for a bright prospect. 

為遵守政府防疫措施及人流管控限制，設壇日一再延後。感謝上天慈悲撥轉，新加坡疫情管控得當，在2020年12月28日進入放寬期第三階段（聚會和訪客放寬到八人）。元旦的第三天，各方道親無間護持、緊密配合之下，莊嚴順利地進行設壇儀式。由於壇內人數受限，壇主們分批回壇安座謝恩。而後再回到崇慧佛院，與眾多祝賀道親們一同謝恩。

Rui-De Temple setup was postponed twice due to COVID-19. Perhaps Heaven is fulfilling the wishes of man, for Singapore’s COVID-19 situation was fortunately well under control. On 28 Dec 2020, the government moved from Phase 2 to Phase 3 earlier than expected, which allowed group size to increase from five to eight persons.  Hence, three days into the new year, with support from fellow Tao seniors, we marked Rui-De Temple’s inauguration with a solemn Establishment Ceremony. Due to size limitation (at most 8 persons per gathering), the ceremony was conducted in two separate sessions for the twelve temple hosts.  Thereafter, all the temple hosts adjourned to Chong-Hui Grand Temple and joined other temple representatives from the Collegiate Section to perform a Thanksgiving Ceremony. 

睿德壇為學界相關佛堂之一，道場代表群委派詹點傳師為睿德壇安座，一同見證學界新的里程碑。詹點傳師指導幫辦學界道務發展，心繫學界，設壇之時慈悲叮囑後學們要飲水思源，莫忘不休息菩薩慈悲與期許，更要時刻感恩道場、感謝點傳師及社會界壇主講師前賢們的照顧與支持。並勉勵後學們要時時心念眾生，自覺覺他，把天堂搬到人間，開創人間淨土。

Rui-De is a Collegiate Section affiliated temple. The Singapore Tao Society appointed Tao Transmitting Master Zhan Shi-Hu to inaugurate the temple setup, so that everyone may together witness another milestone of the Collegiate Section. As one of the Tao Transmitting Masters steering Collegiate Section’s Tao affairs and well-being, he reminded every temple host to be grateful for every blessing, to be mindful of Bu-Xiu-Xi Bodhisattva’s mercy and hope, and to be thankful for all the Tao Transmitting Masters, lecturers, Tao seniors, and peer cultivators who have showered the Collegiate Section with great care and support. He also encouraged everyone to constantly keep sentient beings in our thoughts, enlighten the self and others, and create heaven on Earth.

崇慧佛院由洪點傳師帶領所有與會道親們謝恩，並慈悲鼓勵後學們要學習白水聖帝、不休息菩薩的修辦精神，勇於承擔責任負起，響應號召令，化息災劫，積累功德資糧。睿德法船今已正式開航，開展修辦聖業，全體壇主必同心同德，砥礪前行，廣渡原人共登無極，以報天恩師德於萬一。

At Chong-Hui Grand Temple, Tao Transmitting Master Hong Ya-Huan led the Collegiate Section in the Invocation Ceremony and Thanksgiving Ceremony.  She encouraged everyone to model after the steadfast spirits of Bai-Shui Sheng-Di and Bu-Xiu-Xi Bodhisattva, be brave in shouldering holy responsibilities, reverberate The Holy Summons to cease all catastrophes, and accumulate merits. The voyage of the holy Rui-De sail had commenced, signifying a new journey for holy cultivation and propagation. On this sacred long journey, we will advance in unity and brave the odds to save more people and lead them to Heaven, in order to repay a sliver of our gratitude to Heaven.
