“Now, Ananda, the relics of the Tathāgata should be venerated after the Tathāgata has passed away. The relics should be collected and deposited in a stupa. These relics should then be venerated by the people, and these people should make offerings to them, make prostrations, circumambulate them, and pay homage to them with respect.”

The Buddha instructed in his final moments, his relics are to be revered and honored, continuing to inspire future generations. He spoke these words in his last days, around 483 BCE, to his closest attendant, Venerable Ānanda, and his disciples, ensuring that his wisdom and compassion would remain alive long after his passing.
In light of this, we are humbly constructing a Stupa Room at Maha Karuna Vihara to enshrine the Buddha’s relics, creating a sacred space for peace and reflection. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to something eternal — to help preserve the Buddha’s teachings and legacy for all who seek refuge in them.
May participating in this rare and virtuous endeavor bring you endless merit, peace, and compassion, while also benefiting and blessing countless generations to come.
May the Buddha’s wisdom guide your path, and may your heart be moved by the opportunity to partake in this sacred work.
【殊圣的邀请：尊崇佛陀的遗德- 建設宏慈寺佛塔殿 】
“现在，阿难，佛陀的舍利子在佛陀入灭后应当受到崇敬。舍利子应当被收集并安放在佛塔中。这些舍利子应该受到人民的崇敬，人民应向它们供养、顶礼、绕塔行拜，并以敬意向它们致敬。”
– 佛陀，《大般涅槃经》，《长部经》16
（公元前544年，佛陀临终之时，佛陀对阿难尊者及其他弟子所说）
—————————————————————–
正如佛陀在临终时所開示的，他的舍利子应当受到尊崇和敬奉，继续启发未来的世代。佛陀在他最后的日子里对阿难尊者和弟子们讲述了这些话，确保了他的智慧与慈悲能够在他圆寂之后，继续在世间流传。
鉴于此，我们谦卑地在宏慈寺建设一座佛塔殿，以安奉佛陀的舍利子，提供一个和平、反思和敬奉的圣地。这是一个殊勝难得的机会，能够为这份永恒的善願贡献力量——传承佛陀的教义与遗德，让世人受益。
願参与这一殊勝難得的善業，為您带来无尽的福德、平安与慈悲，同時并为无数代人带来利益与祝福。
愿佛陀的智慧引领您的道路，愿您因参与这一殊圣的善業而心生感动及法喜充滿。
