【人間社 潘青霞 美國加州聖地牙哥報導】2024-02-06

佛光山西方寺蔣雨青(Eugene Chiang)用樂高把位於洛杉磯的佛光山西來寺,搬到100英里外的聖地牙哥了。繼他的西方寺樂高作品連續2年在春節展覽,及受邀參展「樂高嘉年華」(Brick Fest Live)獲得好評,蔣雨青的最新創作—西來寺,將在西方寺2024春節特展亮相,西方西來雙西樂高,同在聖地牙哥綻放佛光。

西方寺監寺妙藏法師讚許蔣雨青除了創作西方寺樂高,接引社區民眾,也發揮軟體工程師專長,默默為西方寺佛教文物中心建立銷售統計軟體,耐心又細心的付出,堪為人間菩薩。

「我希望能用『樂高方便法門』引發人們對人間佛教的興趣。」蔣雨青強調,他在西方寺往年的春節展覽以樂高作品與眾結緣,獲得無限法喜。此次為創作西來寺,參訪西來寺2次做足功課,除了更理解佛光山宗風,並學習到西來寺「靈山勝境」景點的十八羅漢聖者、「慈航普渡」景點的四大天王,還有西來寺整體鳥瞰為一片菩提葉等特色,今年的展出以2024甲辰龍年春節,佛光山開山祖師星雲大師的新春祝福「雲水自在.祥和歡喜」為主題。

蔣雨青表示,實際佔地15英畝的西來寺充滿特色與細節,這一年來的「建寺工程」充滿挑戰,建造了總面積16平方英呎的樂高作品,預計再經過2年增建,完工總面積將是56平方英呎,成為他最大的樂高作品。

靈山勝境裡的羅漢聖者姿態各異,另一個景點「慈航普渡」裡的四大天王各持不同法器,蔣雨青把這兩個特點都做到位。兩側的建築都可以展開,上層是法堂、會堂;下層有海會堂、香雲堂,內有佛像、鐘鼓、座位、麥克風、音響設備、茶具等細節,訪客走累了還可搭乘真的能上下移動的電梯。

在蔣雨青參訪西來寺時,與義工組輔導法師妙皇法師不期而遇,妙皇法師表示讀過《福報》報導蔣雨青的西方寺樂高作品,他高度肯定蔣雨青以藝術弘法的用心,並表示:「謝謝蔣雨青拼出西來寺,真羨慕西方寺的春節特展有此樂高增加亮點,也期待西來寺樂高『回家』,來到西來寺展出。」

Fo Guang Shan Western Monastery Eugene Chiang used Lego to move the Fo Guang Shan Western Lai Monastery in Los Angeles to San Diego, 100 miles away. After his Western Temple Lego works have been exhibited during the Spring Festival for two consecutive years, and were invited to participate in the “Lego Carnival” (Brick Fest Live), which received good reviews, Jiang Yuqing’s latest creation, Xilai Temple, will be unveiled at the Western Temple’s 2024 Spring Festival special exhibition. Lego comes from the west and shines in San Diego together.

Master Miao Zang, supervisor of the Western Temple, praised Jiang Yuqing for not only creating Western Temple Lego and engaging the community, but also using his expertise as a software engineer to silently build sales statistics software for the Western Temple Buddhist Cultural Relics Center. His patient and careful efforts made him worthy of a human bodhisattva.

“I hope to use the ‘Lego Convenient Method’ to arouse people’s interest in humanistic Buddhism.” Jiang Yuqing emphasized that he used his Lego works to connect with the public at the Spring Festival exhibition at the Western Temple in previous years and gained infinite happiness. This time, in order to create Hsi Lai Temple, I visited Hsi Lai Temple twice to do a lot of research. In addition to better understanding the Fo Guang Shan sect, I also learned about the Eighteen Arhat Saints and the “Cihang Pudu” attractions in Hsi Lai Temple. The four heavenly kings, and the overall bird’s-eye view of the Hsi Lai Temple looks like a Bodhi leaf. This year’s exhibition is based on the 2024 Jiachen Year of the Dragon Spring Festival, and the New Year’s blessing of Master Hsing Yun, the founder of Fo Guang Shan, “Freedom of clouds and water. Peace and joy.”

Jiang Yuqing said that the Hsi Lai Temple, which actually covers an area of ​​15 acres, is full of features and details. The “temple construction project” this year has been full of challenges, and a Lego work with a total area of ​​16 square feet has been built. It is expected to be completed after another 2 years of additional construction. The total area will be 56 square feet, making it his largest Lego creation.

The Arhat saints in Lingshan scenic spot have different postures, and the four heavenly kings in another scenic spot “Cihang Pudu” each hold different magical weapons. Jiang Yuqing has achieved both of these characteristics. The buildings on both sides can be unfolded. The upper floor is the Dharma Hall and the Assembly Hall; the lower floor is the Haihui Hall and Xiangyun Hall, which contain Buddhist statues, bells and drums, seats, microphones, audio equipment, tea sets and other details. Visitors who are tired of walking can also take a real ride. An elevator that can move up and down.

When Jiang Yuqing visited Xilai Temple, he unexpectedly met Master Miaohuang, the tutor of the volunteer group. Master Miaohuang said that he had read the “Fu Bao” report on Jiang Yuqing’s Lego work of the Western Temple, and he highly recognized Jiang Yuqing’s intention to promote the Dharma through art. He also said: “Thank you Jiang Yuqing for creating the Xilai Temple. I really envy the Spring Festival special exhibition of the Western Temple to have this Lego added highlight. I also look forward to the Xilai Temple Lego “coming home” and coming to the Xilai Temple for exhibition.”
