Birthday Offering 庆生供佛

Why make Offering?
Making shrine offering is an act of devotion which expresses appreciation and veneration to the Triple Gem.
The offering of light represents the illuminating brightness of wisdom, which dispels the darkness of ignorance on the path towards Enlightenment.
The offering of flower represents the aspiration to achieve the body of the Buddha with the thirty-two marks and the teaching of impermanence.
The offering of food represents the wish to achieve the nectar of Dharma.
为什么要供奉？
供奉佛殿是一种奉献的行为，表达对三宝的赞赏和崇敬。
供灯代表破除无明，驱走黑暗。因为光象征智慧。
供花表示对达到佛陀的三十二相的愿望以及无常的教导。
供食物表示对于达到佛法甘露的愿望。

Hall of Universal Brightness
The first hall in KMSPKS to be built, the Hall of Brightness houses three Buddha statues, symbolising the Buddhas of the past, present and future. Shakyamuni Buddha stated that the next Buddha of this human world would be Maitreya Buddha. Other interpretations of the symbolism of the three Buddha statues include (1) the three bodies of the Buddha: Truth Body, Bliss Body and Manifestation Body, and (2) the representation of Shakyamuni Buddha in the centre with Amitabha Buddha who resides in the Western Pure Land and Medicine Buddha who resides in the Eastern Pure Land on his left and right respectively.
光明殿
光明殿是光明山普觉禅寺最原始的殿堂，殿内供奉着三尊缅甸玉佛像，象征着：过去佛、现在佛、未来佛。释迦牟尼佛的继任者，娑婆世界的未来佛将会是弥勒佛。 另有 二说法，一为三佛象征： 1）清净法身毗卢遮那佛; 2）圆满报身卢舍那佛； 3）千百亿化身释迦牟尼佛； 二为三尊佛中间的释迦牟尼佛，西方极乐世界阿弥陀佛及东方净琉璃世界药师佛在左右。这些不同的解释都是在提醒我们，所有的 物、色，包括佛陀的典型肖像，皆空无自性，由众因缘和合而成。因此，我们不应该执着任何种类的形、色。
