阿彌陀佛
I would like to extend my greeting as well to all who are participating this evening by webcast. Including the many thousands who are listening to us right now, in Taiwan, and to all around the world who are participating in this event by webcast. Truly, technology is a wonderful thing, that they could do that.
我向今晚在現場及透過網絡直播參與的信眾，包括很多在台灣及世界各地的信眾，致上我的問候。誠然，現在的科技不僅使今晚在場的人們受益，而且也使得全球的萬眾都能在同時間參與這麼特別的盛會。
When I was a young boy, I lived in Bangkok, Thailand. Shortly after we arrived there, I began to see the Buddhist monks and the apprentices who would wear the saffron robes and would go out each day to ask for their meals. My parents explained to me that this symbolized great humility and also that it provided an opportunity for the community to provide supports. I was so impressed by these young men with their shaved heads who would go out every day, and who were spending a period of time, learning the Buddhist faith, achieving self realization as best they could, contributing to the community and helping to make the world a more peaceful and loving place.
小的時候，我住在泰國的曼谷。很快我就注意到有佛教的僧眾和他們的學徒們身穿法袍，每天托缽乞食。我的父母對我解釋說，他們的行為代表的是最大的一種謙卑，同時也提供了社區人們發心供養的機會。從此，這些僧眾們給我留下了深刻的印象。他們能每天堅持用這種謙卑的方式來學習佛教信仰和自我的覺悟，更激勵著人們能對社會做出貢獻，給予幫助，使我們的世界充滿和平與愛心。
I have been a deep admirer of all who followed the Buddhist tradition ever since that experience as a young boy. Because of its faith and its dedication to the principles of compassion, of love, of peace, and of service to others. We are so fortunate to have this beautiful temple in our state, and in our entire world by Grandmaster Lu, the founder. Thank you.
小時候的這段經歷伴隨著我成為一名對所有遵循佛教傳統信徒的崇拜者。我敬仰佛教原則裡包括的信仰和奉獻、互愛與和平，更有對他人的同情心與發心。我們慶幸在美國華盛頓州有這麼莊嚴的雷藏寺，更在世界各地發揚光大。在這裡，我們要感恩《真佛宗》創辦人—盧師尊。
We are very fortunate that the foundation has been established here since fall 2008, and has given more than 600 thousand dollars in grants to local organizations and to provide relief in Haiti and in other areas of great need. And I know that money is the result of the generosity of all of you, and of the other five million disciples of the Grandmaster who are giving of themselves and contributing to the foundation in order to lessen the suffering of others. That makes me very, very proud and humble; to know that I am in the presence of such tremendous generosity and compassion. Thank you to all of you, and thank you to the Grandmaster for that.
我們慶幸〈盧勝彥佈施基金會〉自二○○八年成立以來，已向地方及國際的慈善機構和災區捐贈了六十餘萬美金的善款。我知道這些善款是來自於盧師尊及五百萬弟子的善心，透過〈盧勝彥佈施基金會〉讓很多人得到了幫助和減輕了痛苦。這樣偉大的同情心和巨大的慷慨行為，讓我深刻地感到驕傲和卑微。感恩大家，更感恩師尊。
