美國慈悲寺——服务信众原则
American Ci Bei Temple – Service Principles for Devotees
為弘揚佛法、利益眾生，慈悲寺依循以下供養原則：
To spread the Dharma and benefit all beings, Ci Bei Temple follows these compassionate guidelines for offerings:
• 隨力供養： 貧者減免，富者多供。不讓貧者失去法緣，不讓富者輕慢三寶。
Support According to Means: Those with fewer resources may offer less, while those with greater means are encouraged to offer more. No one should lose the opportunity to connect with the Dharma due to financial hardship, and those with wealth should not take the Three Jewels lightly.
• 常修居士： 經常來本寺拜佛供佛，並請法師開示解惑，功德隨喜。
Regular Devotees: Lay practitioners who regularly attend the temple, make offerings, and seek guidance from Dharma teachers are invited to contribute on a voluntary basis. Their merit is rejoiced and shared.
• 新來信眾： 初次或前幾次來本寺，求法師開示解惑，功德亦隨喜。
Newcomers: For new visitors, the first few times they seek guidance from Dharma teachers, offerings are also voluntary and rejoiced.
• 偶爾來訪： 不常來本寺，只是一兩年來一次，因事來求法師解憂的，法師可依情況，酌情決定是否予以解答。信眾供養多少皆為自願。法師開示解惑即是隨緣。做功德多少不等於服務多少，佛法的核心在於慈悲修行，智慧解脫。
Occasional Visitors: For those who come only once every year or two seeking counsel, Dharma teachers may, at their discretion, decide whether to provide guidance depending on the situation. Offerings are always voluntary. Dharma teachers have the right, in accordance with Buddhist principles and circumstances, to decide whether to respond. The amount of offering does not equal the amount of service; the essence of the Dharma lies in compassion, practice, and liberation through wisdom.
核心原則： 所有供養皆為自願的布施行為，並非收費，而是信眾對三寶的恭敬與對寺院弘法使命的支持。
Key Principle: All offerings are voluntary acts of generosity. They are not fees, but expressions of devotion to the Three Jewels and support for the temple’s mission of compassion and Dharma propagation.
