释迦牟尼，本为古印度迦毗罗卫国太子。他在外出巡游时，恰遇老人、病人、死者和修行者，深感人间生老病死的苦恼，后弃位出家，踏上寻求解脱之路。在一次苦行中昏倒了，巧遇一位牧羊女给了羊乳喝才得救，从此意识到苦行无法达到解脱，修行是应采取中道，转而前往菩提伽耶，坐于菩提树下发愿不成正觉，永不起身。直到第七夜，睹明星而悟道，证得无上正等正觉。
感恩本师释迦牟尼来到人间成佛，告诉世人宇宙之真实相，生命之真实相；感恩佛陀给后世留下如此珍贵的精神财富，让我们得以今世一生成就，终究解脱。
Shakyamuni was a prince of Kapilavastu in ancient India originally. When he was out touring his realm, he encountered people afflicted with old age, sickness, and death as well as spiritual practitioners. He was deeply impacted by the worldly suffering arising from birth, aging, sickness and death. He decided to renounce his regal title to walk the monastic path in search of liberation. Once he fainted during an austere practice, and realized that austerity alone cannot bring him liberation and his practice should turn to the middle way. He headed to Bodh Gaya instead and sat under the Bodhi tree. He made a vow to never arise again should he fail to attain enlightenment. On the seventh night, he witnessed his innate nature and attained supreme enlightenment.
We thank Shakyamuni Buddha for his arrival to the world and becoming Buddha, enlightening the world of the real fact of the universe and life; thanks to Buddha for inheriting to us such a precious spiritual heritage, thus, inspired us to be firmly believe that attaining enlightenment in present life and set free of ourselves ultimately is possible.
