本會副主委杜正民教授11月27日往生，12月23日共修法會
敬啟者：阿彌陀佛。
本會副主委、法鼓文理學院前副校長杜正民教授，2016年11月27日（星期日）中午12時左右，於馬偕醫院淡水分院安寧療護教育示範中心病房，在家人親友陪伴中，安詳往生。
杜正民教授生前交代之佛事的願望如下：
-
希望如 聖嚴師父所說的是「佛事」，不是「告別式」、「追思會」，而是「共修法會」（誦《心經》、《無常經》，並贈送大眾《無常經》本結緣），不需要冠上他的名字，但可以發揮生命教育的學習效益，故稱為「生命教育共修法會」，法會時間與植存「法鼓山生命園區」的時間同日舉行，場地將在法鼓文理學院的「國際會議廳」。
-
不用印製「生命教育共修法會通知」，只需讓大家知道法會時間及流程與生命教育共修法會的緣由即可。
-
「生命教育共修法會」時，不作「生平簡介或PPT」播放，請校長作「開場白」讓大家了解使用「國際會議廳」的因緣即可。
「生命教育共修法會」（即是植存位於法鼓山之「金山環保生命園區」）時間訂於12月23日（星期五）上午10～12點（流程大概：10-10:30法會時間～移動時間～11-12植存時間），法鼓文理學院「國際會議廳」，特此公告。

Vice director prof. Aming Tu passed away on Nov 27, the service will be held on the Dec 23
Dear all, Amitabha
Professor Aming Tu, vice director of CBETA, the former vice president of the Dharma Drum Buddhist College, died peacefully on November 27th , 2016 (Sunday) around noon at the Tamsui branch of the Mackay hospital in the company of relatives and friends.
Below are the wishes regarding the funeral that Professor Aming Tu hoped to see carried out after his passing away:
-
In the spirit of master Sheng Yen’s teaching that a Buddhist funeral should not be a farewell ceremony or a memorial meeting, professor Tu expressed the wish that his funeral take the form a group chanting service including the recitation of the Heart Sutra as well as the Sutra on Impermanence, a copy of which should be offered to attendees. His name should not be displayed on an altar. Rather, the event should be an opportunity for participants to benefit from the study and practice of life education. For this reason, the service will be called the life education group chanting service and will be held at the DILA International Conference Hall followed by the ash burial ceremony in the Life Park located on Dharma Drum Mountain.
-
It is sufficient to make the time, schedule and origin of the group chanting service known to all and it is not necessary to print out announcements for the event.
-
During the service it is not necessary to make a PowerPoint presentation of professors Tu’s biography. The president of DILA may simply give a few opening remarks to explain the reasons for this service.
The group chanting service (as well as the ash burial ceremony) will be held on December 23rd (Friday) from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon. The service itself will be held between 10:00 and 10:30 AM in DILA’s International Conference Hall while the ash burial ceremony will take place between 11:00 and 12:00 AM in the Life Park located on Dharma Drum Mountain.
The event will be live streamed on the internet. Click here to watch. (Youtube)

Yours sincerely
November 27th, 2016
