Camp Lecture
Changhua Community College and the International Buddha’s Light Association Changhua Teachers’ Chapter held a campus lecture on May 14 at Dongshing Elementary School in Lukang Township, Changhua County.
The talk, titled “Live the Three Acts of Goodness, Create a Happy Life,” was given by Venerable Lecturer Chen Hsuan-Yu, a lecturer from the International Buddha’s Light Association and the Ministry of Education’s Life Education Program. The session incorporated videos and real-life stories and engaged 140 students and teachers from grades 1 to 5 in a discussion on how practicing the Three Acts of Goodness can lead to a happy life.
Principal Lin Ya-Hui expressed her gratitude to the Buddha’s Light Association and Changhua Community College for holding the lecture at the school for the third time. She mentioned that the International Buddha’s Light Association’s campus life education program includes ten themes, and she hopes that all ten lectures can be held at the school so that students can gain knowledge and grow through each one. A certificate of appreciation was then presented to Chen Hsuan-Yu and Lu Yi-Ping, President of the Changhua Teachers’ Chapter.
Chen Hsuan-Yu emphasized that “the most beautiful practice in the human world is the Three Acts of Goodness: doing good deeds, speaking good words, and thinking good thoughts.” He explained that good character radiates a noble temperament and earns respect. Citing the example of American steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, he encouraged students to practice the Three Acts of Goodness daily and to spread positive energy. Through video and discussion, he helped students see that small acts of kindness can accumulate into a “happiness savings account,” building trust between people. Doing good, he noted, is proof that serving others brings joy, and helping others allows one to experience empathy and compassion.
“Speaking good words is like sunlight in winter,” said Chen, reminding everyone to speak kindly in daily life. He compared kind words to perfume: when you spray it on others, your own hands are scented too. Speaking kindly helps build positive relationships with classmates and encourages recognizing others’ strengths and giving praise. He quoted the saying, “A kind word warms in winter; a harsh word chills in June,” explaining that changing our words can change the world.
He went on to say, “Thinking good thoughts brings sincerity, good relationships, and good fortune.” He shared the story “The Young Monk Saves the Ants” to show students the importance of caring for small animals and cultivating kindness from a young age—cherishing life, loving others as oneself, showing respect, being honest, and following rules. A person’s thoughts influence their actions, which shape habits, habits form character, and character determines destiny.
In conclusion, Chen Hsuan-Yu reminded everyone that by living out the Three Acts of Goodness—doing good, speaking kindly, and thinking positively—one can form good habits and a strong character, ultimately creating a happy life. He called on teachers and students to use their hands to do good deeds, their smiles to speak kind words, and to practice kindness in their hearts every day. When we all live out the Three Acts of Goodness, happiness and joy will naturally follow.
【人間社 真戒 彰化報導】
彰化社區大學、國際佛光會彰化教師分會,5月14日於彰化縣鹿港鎮東興國小舉辦校園講座,由國際佛光會檀講師暨教育部生命教育講師陳璿宇主講「行三好生活 創造幸福人生」,講座中穿插影片、生活故事,與國小1至5年級140位師生探討如何「行三好」營造幸福人生的秘訣。
校長林雅慧表示,感謝佛光會及彰化社大第3次到校舉辦講座,國際佛光會校園講座生命教育有十堂課,期盼十個講座主題都能夠舉辦,讓學生從中學習,增長知識。隨後頒發感謝狀給陳璿宇及彰化教師分會會長盧宜秉。
陳璿宇表示,人間最美行三好,做好事、說好話、存好心;好品德能散發高貴氣質,處處受人尊敬。他舉美國鋼鐵大王卡內基的故事,激勵學生要日日行三好,傳遞正能量;藉以影片與學生討論,身做好事,舉手之勞功德妙,生活累積幸福的存摺,獲得人與人之間的信任,做好事能見證服務是一種幸福,同時感受到助人與關愛,懂得同理別人。
「口說好話,慈悲愛語如冬陽。」陳璿宇提醒大家生活多說好話,如為人灑香水,自己的手也會沾上香味。說好話能營造與同學良好的人際關係,看到他人優點多給予讚揚與鼓勵。經典說:「良言一句三冬暖,惡語傷人六月寒。」懂得改變文字,就能改變世界。
「心存好心,誠意善緣好運到。」他舉「小沙彌就螞蟻」的故事,為學生說明愛護小動物,從小培養存好心,懂得珍惜生命、愛人如己、尊重有禮、誠實守信及依規守法。生活培養好品格,必能成就好命格。因為,一個人的思想會影響行為,行為會養成一種習慣,習慣會造就一個人的性格。
陳璿宇總結,生活行三好,身做好事、口說好話,從生活中培養好習慣,養成好性格,能創造幸福人生。最後,呼籲師生要雙手萬能做好事,面帶微笑說好話,日日行善存好心。你我生活行三好,幸福人生快樂又逍遙。
Flea Market Fun Helps Friends!
Guess what? Some awesome students at school had a super cool idea for Children's Day! Their teacher, Ms. Yixing, helped them make their dream come true.
The kids wanted to have a flea market at school. Do you know why? They wanted to earn money to buy graduation yearbooks for their whole class! How smart is that?
Everyone helped out! The kids made colorful posters and told everyone about the flea market during school meetings. A week before Children's Day, they set up their stalls and started selling during break time. They even did some awesome calling out to get people to visit their stalls!
For three whole days, the flea market was bustling and full of energy! At the end, the students were super happy because they reached their goal! They earned enough money for their yearbooks!
Ms. Yixing shared how amazing it was. She said that everyone—kids, teachers, and parents—worked together for one goal. Parents brought lots of cool things to sell, and the kids were super creative with their stalls. They even talked about new ideas every day to sell more!
This wasn't just about selling things; it was about learning and helping each other. These almost-graduates are so clever! Their last Children's Day was extra special.
A big thank you to Ms. Yixing and Mr. Xiangyi for helping the kids, and to all the teachers and students who supported them!
你們知道嗎?學校裡有些超棒的同學為了兒童節想出了一個超酷的主意!他們的老師乙馨老師幫助他們實現了這個夢想。
孩子們想在學校辦一個跳蚤市場。你們知道為什麼嗎?他們想賺錢為全班同學買畢業紀念冊!是不是很聰明呢?
大家都來幫忙了!孩子們製作了色彩鮮豔的海報,並在兒童集會時向大家宣傳跳蚤市場。在兒童節前一週,他們就在下課時間擺好攤位,開始叫賣。他們甚至還大聲叫賣,吸引大家來他們的攤位逛逛!
整整三天,跳蚤市場熱鬧滾滾,充滿活力!最後,同學們都超級開心,因為他們達成了目標!他們賺夠了錢買畢業紀念冊!
乙馨老師分享了這有多麼棒。她說,每個人——孩子、老師和家長——都為了同一個目標一起努力。家長們帶來了許多很酷的物品來賣,孩子們也很有創意地佈置他們的攤位。他們甚至每天討論新的點子來賣出更多東西!
這不只是一場賣東西的活動;這是在學習和互相幫助。這些準畢業生真是太厲害了!他們最後一個兒童節過得格外特別。
非常感謝乙馨老師和祥益老師幫助孩子們,也感謝所有支持他們夢想的老師和同學們!
