Puxian Hall, established by Hong Kong Bodhi Siksa Society, is a modern Buddhist hall that provides social services to local community and serves as a cultural and education centre in the city downtown. Puxian Hall, with the “Ten Vows of Puxian Bodhisattva” in Buddhism as its mission statement, endeavors to put it into daily services and practices for the community.
普賢道場面積一萬多尺,由兩個功能區組成:法堂和五觀堂。進入靜謐莊嚴的法堂,左右側是嵌有普賢菩薩的琉璃磚牆,陽光透過菩薩像映照進來,如同極樂世界的佛光。法堂正面是一塊三米 七乘一米七高的巴西紅木浮雕普賢海會圖,當中有眾多菩薩、護法、童子站立或端坐在祥雲之間,中心的普賢菩薩栩栩如生,端坐在六牙象之上,慈祥地注視每一位參拜的善信。
從法堂穿過走廊,進入靈動而現代的五觀堂,與法堂雪白色天花不同, 此處以鏤空的木條為頂,有別於法堂的嚴肅莊重,五觀堂在功能上更多元,可舉行齋宴、展覽及多種文教活動。

自2023年4月初普賢道場開幕以來,道場致力於在佛法修學、慈善服務和文化教育三方面,為社區注入正能量,推動“喜悦人生、自在生命” 的人生佛教理念。
Since the opening in early April 2023, the Hall has been used for cultural events and activities serving various needs of different stakeholders.
一、佛法修學
開幕迄今,普賢道場已舉行了多場法會,如為期二十一日的《華嚴經》法會,每月固定《普賢行願品》、《地藏經》共修法會,及每季度「八關齋戒精進念佛」法會。其次,還舉辦了一系列的佛學講座和禪修,如洞鈜法師帶領的慈悲觀課程,袁尚華教授主講的「信解行證《華嚴經》」、陳沛然博士主講的《佛教的無我思想》等。
Puxian Hall has hosted many Buddhist praying and practising assemblies, such as a 21-day “Avatamsaka Sutra” reading assembly, monthly “Universal Virtue Bodhisattva’s Practices’ And Vows’ and reading of the “Di Zang Jing” assembly, and quarterly “Eight Precepts Fasting and Amitahba Recitation” assembly. Additionally, a series of Buddhist lectures and practising courses were held, such as the medication course led by Venerable Master Don Wen, “Faith, Understanding, Practice, and Proof of the Avatamsaka Sutra”, presented by Professor Yuen Sheung Wah and “No-self in Buddhism” presented by Dr. Chan Pui Yin.
二、慈善服務
普賢道場自開幕以來由寬運大和尚發起推動「給孤獨長者終身關愛計劃」,「給孤獨」源自佛陀時代印度一位護持佛法的長者名為須達多,他為人樂善好施,常施給孤苦、獨居等無依者,故又稱「給孤獨長者」,該項目向沒有家庭支援和受情緒困擾的獨居長者,提供定期電話慰問和探訪服務。
道場自2023年6月始開設「菩提在線」電話熱線服務,每週一至週五12點到下午18點,致電3952 7888,即能及時獲取情緒支援及哀傷輔導。我們秉持耐心聆聽、關懷及不批判的精神,提供各種心理輔導服務,熱線亦會透過佛法的智慧幫助受眾學習「轉念」,為身心注入積極向上的力量,為受眾解開人生困擾。
Since its opening Venerable Master Kuan Yun, the Head of the Hall initiated the project of “Bodhi for Lonely Seniors”. This project aims to provide service of spiritual care to lonely elders without family support in local communities. There are also support hotline services provided to local citizens who suffered from depression, loneliness or isolation. It is available 1200-1800 everyday from Monday to Friday by phone by dialing 3952 7888.
三、文化教育
普賢道場自開幕以來,為本地學校提供「學生體驗日」活動,2023年內已有十間本地學校,超過1000位學生及老師到訪。活動旨在通過邀請知名專家學者為年輕人開講人生意義,提供素食過堂午齋和豐富多樣的文化體驗,例如茶道、插花、太極、頌缽、抄經等,幫助年輕人樹立積極向上的人生觀和世界觀。
道場為促進文化交流,也舉辦書畫展等文化活動,例如為慶祝香港回歸26週年,道場舉行了《華藏世界·行願大千——善財童子五十三參佛教書畫展》,吸引了來自社會各界的朋友。
普賢道場希望繼續與社會各界廣結善緣,為共建和諧幸福的社區一同努力,共築都市人的心靈家園。
Puxian Hall had also hosted students cultural day activities since July 2023. Over 1,000 students and teachers from ten local secondary schools had visited the Hall. Apart from lectures given by well-known scholars, students could spend the day in the Hall trying different cultural activities such as Tai Chi, paper cutting, singing bowl meditation, flower arrangement, calligraphy etc. Participants would also be able to experience a unique vegetarian meal provided following the traditional Buddhist practising guidelines.
We also host exhibitions of Buddhist arts and Chinese calligraphy. We successfully organised in July 2023 an exhibition of the story of Sudhanakumāra which attracted not only local visitors but also those from China and abroad.
Puxian Hall will continue to commit ourselves in building a home-like retreat in the city for people pursuing spiritual growth.
普賢道場將再 接再厲,學習普賢菩薩慈悲雙運、智慧行願,利益眾生。道場希望與社會各界廣結善緣,攜手共進,為共建和諧幸福的社區一同努力。
