常见问题|FAQ
Q1: 会不会限制可以登记的供养选项组合吗？| Is there a limitation to the categories I can register for?
A1: 不会限制。分组别只是为了让大家更容易明白法会的各种供养选项。| There are no limitations. Categorisation is solely meant to facilitate the understanding of various options for the Puja.
Q2: 大牌位和小牌位的区别在哪里？| What is the difference between big and small tablets?
A2: 每个大牌位将会摆在法会专用的桌上，并有专属的供斋与供品。而小牌位是贴在木板墙上，供品与斋菜是共享的。由于每个人的经济能力不同，所以本寺也设了小牌位以方便更多善信们登记。最重要的还是诚心与信心。| Big tablets are placed on the prayer table and each tablet has its own dedicated offerings. Small tablets are placed on wooden wall boards and the offerings are shared. We understand the reality of different financial standings amongst our fellows and so offer the small tablets to give more people access to the Puja. At the end of the day, sincerity and confidence in the Dharma matters the most.
Q3: 这么多种选项, 该选哪个？| With multiple offering options available, how should I go about choosing them?
A3: 可以依照自己的经济能力选择。如果非得选，可以考虑为冤亲债主和历代祖先登记小牌位！|Your choice can depend on your economic situation. Minimally, it's best to register a small tablet for Karmic Debtors and Family Ancestors each.
其实无论选项的大小，最重要的还是诚心。如果抱着一颗真诚的心来供养三宝和利益众生，菩萨及诸护法一定会护持您。当然也可以为自己的所求所愿祈求加持，而如果在这个时候可以把心放宽，把众生也包含在您的意念里，效果会加倍。
Regardless of offering type, what matters most is sincerity. If one carries a sincere intention to pay tribute and help sentient beings, the divine will surely protect the person. That is not to say one cannot pray for their personal wishes to come true, and if we can expand these wishes to include praying for the well-being of all sentient beings, then the effect may be better. Compassion and empathy for others, not just for oneself, is key.
