【簡介】
佛法無國界，慈悲無距離。西元一九八八年，菲律賓天主教呂希宗、呂林珠珠夫婦，為謹遵慈母遺命，用千餘坪土地發心建寺，命名為「慈恩寺」。因苦於無人住持弘法，透過友人引薦幾度拜訪佛光山，希望禮請法師到宿霧駐錫弘法。
星雲大師深受呂氏家族的孝心所感動，一九八九年由慈容法師擔任慈恩寺第一任住持，永光法師傳承使命，隻身飄洋過海數千哩，為佛教弘揚散播佛法的種子。
佛光山在菲律賓弘法二十多年，實踐大師「佛教本土化」的理念，消弭宗教、種族的您我之分，向南國十方生根發芽，結下深厚的佛法因緣。
由宿務慈恩寺法鐘敲響，傳遍描戈律圓通寺、馬尼拉萬年寺、怡朗佛光緣，與當地居民和華裔信徒共結法緣，寫下佛光山《佛光菲揚》的弘法故事。
Buddha dharma knows no boundary and compassion has no distance. In 1988, the Philippino couple of catholic church Mr. & Mrs. Lu His-chung, at the behest of their late mother』s benevolent will, donated a piece of land over thousand pings to build a Buddhist temple by the name of Chu Un Temple.
Due to lacking of monastic resources to spread the Buddha dharma, the couple paid several visits to Fo Guang Shan through the recommendation of friends, in the sincere hope of inviting F.G.S. monastics to reside in Cebu so as to propagate Buddhism.
Ven. Master Hsing Yun was deeply moved by the filial piety of the Lu Family, consequently delegating Ven. Tzu Jung as the first Abbot of the Temple, later on passed down to Ven. Yung Kuan as the successor to take up the mission of continuing dharma propagation in the land of thousand islands. She crossed the ocean thousand miles apart from Taiwan all alone just to disseminate the seeds of Buddha dharma.
After cultivating over20years in the Philippines, Buddhism has taken roots in the Southern country by carrying out Ven. Master』s ideas of 「localizing Buddhism」. Henceforth, the Buddha dharma has planted thick and deep in the Philippines.
From the dharma bells tolled in Chu Un Temple of Cebu throughout Yuan Thong Temple in Bacolod, Won Nien Temple in Manila and Fo Gung Yuan in Iloilo, the local people and overseas Chinese Buddhist devotees join hands in writing down the stories of 「 Buddha』s light shining over the Philippines 」 that』s in essence FKS.
