索达吉堪布中秋寄语
Mid-Autumn Festival Wishes 2015 from Khenpo Sodargye

大家节日快乐！

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!

今天是传统的汉地中秋节。
Today is the traditional Han Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival

我在想,，今天不管东南西北 ，
Chinese people around the world

处在不同地方的人们都在团圆，
are all celebrating the festival with a family reunion

都同样在看着月亮， 都同样在吃着月饼，
They appreciate the beauty of full moon while tasting the moon cake as the symbolic food

同样在享受团聚的快乐。
and are blessed with the joy of family getting together

我们非常尊重 ，欢喜这样的传统 ，这样的节日。
We greatly respect and rejoice such tradition and festival

但同时也会想到， 在这个世界中，
Whereas we can not help thinking of

每当人们过很快乐的生活， 周围的很多动物也遭到杀害，
those beings in this world which are slaughtered
when happy days are observed among human beings

破坏了它们的团圆 ，破坏了它们的自由和快乐。
Their family reunion is ruined together with their freedom and joy

所以 ，我们团圆的同时，
Therefore, at this moment of gathering together

要联想到世间当中发生的各种各样的事情。
we should also think of what's happening in this world

如今在这个世界上， 有很多人无家可归。
There are many people who became homeless

最近在许多国家， 因为战争的原因，
Recently due to wars

很多孩子没办法回家 ，很多家庭没办法团聚，
many children are forced to leave their home
many families are forced to endure the separation

甚至连国家都没有了。
What’s even worse, they become people of no nationality

按照大乘佛教的观点 ，我们应该尽量多做一些善事，
From Mahayana Buddhism's point of view, we should do virtuous deeds as much as possible

回向给所有的老母有情。
and dedicate the merits to all the sentient beings

天上的月亮是圆圆满满的 ，
The moon in the sky is full and glamourous

我们心里的爱也是圆圆满满的，
So is our heart, fulfilled with love and care

面前的月饼也是圆圆满满的 ，
So is the moon cake on the table, delicious and auspicious

希望大家一切吉祥！ 快乐！
Wish you all the best!

谢谢！
Thank you

片尾结束语：
“团圆”属于每一个生命！
"Family Reunion" Belongs to Every Life
