宣化上人開示說：

你在佛前點燈，來生的眼目就明。眼目就明亮，人家看不見的東西，你也可以看得見；人家不知道的事情，你也可以知道。你就會得到天眼通。得到佛眼、法眼、慧眼，得到這個智慧眼、肉眼、天眼，得到這個五眼。你看這功德多妙啊！

金佛寺歷年來，每逢農曆除夕夜，有點燈法會。法會是晚上八點開始，大家先念〈楞嚴咒〉、〈十小咒〉、《心經》，一直到念「南無消災延壽藥師佛」後，開始點燈。由於人潮洶湧，大家排隊一個一個地點燈，到九點鐘才圓滿回向。很多人不是佛教徒，為了新年有一個好頭彩，專程來到金佛寺，也因此熏習到佛法，所以這是很有意義的法會！

Foryears GBM organize Lighting Ceremony during Chinese New Year's eve,the ceremony starts at 8pm, we will recite “Shurangama Mantra”,followed by “Ten Small Mantras” and “The Heart of PrajnaParamita Sutra”, the ceremony will officially begin when we startchanting Namo Quelling Disasters Lengthening Life Medicine MasterBuddha.

一燈照亮百年暗，得平安；

千蓮綻放萬裏香，到極樂。

Onelamp’s brilliant light quells many years’ darkness to heraldpeace.

Athousand lotus flowers’ sweet scents pierce the stratosphere toreach Ultimate Bliss.

願以此點燈的功德，

普皆回向法界一切眾生獲得菩提勝果位，

願一切眾生都能離苦得樂，

發大菩提心，速成佛道。

Maythe merit and virtue of lighting lamps, 

beuniversally transferred to all beings 

inthe Dharma Realm 

andmay all attain Bodhi fruition. 

Mayall attain bliss and leave suffering, 

bringforth Bodhi resolve and attain Bodhi Way.
