　　深圳佛教新闻网讯：据英国伦敦《泰国佛学院网站》报道，当地时间2009年7月26日，英国伦敦温布尔登泰国佛学院迎来了今年的沙尼日。今年共有学员七位，被该寺认为是个吉祥的数字。在寺院的时间，他们需要持十戒，学习、进行禅修，用所学知识来引导人生，过上和谐生活。

　　据悉，每年夏天，英国伦敦温布尔登泰国佛学院都会为那些想要了解佛教、进行禅修的男孩举办为期15天的沙尼闭关禅修，给予那些孩子学习佛教理论、进行禅修的机会。

　　该佛寺僧人表示，教育是生活的第一步，佛祖也经常鼓励人们学习，之后再把他们所学的知识运用到实践中去。将会有寺院僧人来照顾学员的生活起居、教导他们，培养他们良好的生活方式。并且，为他们设置的学习和修习也并不辛苦，很适合这些年轻的沙尼。“沙尼活动对这些孩子来讲是他们学习怎样去过幸福生活的良好开始。教育的初衷是好的，中途的实践也是好的，但教育和实践的结果如何就要取决于他们自己的努力了。”(编译：子规)

　　In Summer every year, the Buddhapadipa Temple holds Samanera retreat for young boys who wish to learn Buddhism and practise meditation. For 15 days, they will be given the opportunity to learn the theory of Buddhism and practise meditation.

　　Education is the first stage of life and the Buddha always encouraged people to learn and, secondly, encouraged them to put what they have learned into practice. And they will experience the fruits of their learning and practising.

　　This year there are seven novices altogether which is a good number. It is not crowded and what the young novices will do during their stay in the temple is that they have to observe 10 precepts/discipline, learn and practise meditation and learn to have knowledge to guide their life and live together in peace and harmony.

　　The monks will take care of them, train them and guide them good way of life. The study and practice set for them are not tough; they are just suitable to them as they are young. The Samanera Project is a good start for them to learn how to live a good life.

　　Education is always good at the beginning, practice is always good at the middle and finally the fruit of education and practice is always seen according to their own effort.

　　Good luck
