浴佛池 Buddha Bathing Pool

我今灌沐诸如来，净智庄严功德海，五浊众生离尘垢，同证如来净法身。

《浴佛功德经》中记载：「 作如是浴佛像故，能令汝等人、天大众现受富乐，无病延年; 于所愿求，无不遂意; 亲友眷属，悉皆安隐; 长辞八难，永出苦源.

《佛说温室洗浴众僧经》记载，由供养浴池之殊胜功德，施主将获七大福：

四大无病，居处安稳，勇武健康。
出生清净，容貌端正，尘垢不沾。
身体芬香，衣服洁净，见者欢喜。
肌体润泽，光明威德，人人敬叹。
除人尘垢，自然受福，得宿命通。
口齿香好，洁白齐平，说话人人听受。
自然获得衣服、庄严光亮的严饰、珠玉珍宝

“Now I bathe all the Tathāgatas, Their pure wisdom adorned with a sea of merit and virtue. May beings in the five turbidities be freed from defilements, And together realize the Tathāgata’s pure Dharma body.”

As “Sutra on the Merit of Bathing the Buddha” stated:

“As a result of bathing the Buddha statue in this way,
you and the assembly of humans and celestial beings will presently receive wealth and happiness, be free from illness, and enjoy longevity. All your wishes and aspirations will be fulfilled.
Your relatives and close ones will be safe and at peace.
You will forever part from the eight difficulties and be liberated from the source of suffering.”

According to the “Sutra on the Bathing of Monks in the Warm Chamber”, by offering a bathing pool, one gains seven great blessings as follows:

1. Freedom from major illnesses, peaceful living, courage, and good health.
2. Pure birth, dignified appearance, and freedom from defilements.
3. A fragrant body, clean clothing, and joy in those who see you.
4. Supple and radiant skin, majestic presence, and admiration from all.
5. Removal of worldly impurities, natural reception of blessings, and attainment of the knowledge of past lives.
6. Fragrant and pleasant breath, clean and neat teeth, and eloquence that everyone listens to.
7. Naturally obtain fine clothing, radiant adornments, and treasures such as jewels and precious stones.
