Lesson Transcript

佛誕
香港人非常信佛。無論做生意的，揸的士的，抑或是蒲黑社會的，無一例外，全部都求神拜佛。平民百姓家裡一般都設一個神台，如果不是供奉自己的祖先長輩，就一定是供奉著各路神明，具體就得看你從事的職業了。比如說警察一定拜的是“關二哥”，自己開店的肯定拜的是“財神爺”。我家裡也有個神台，供奉的是我家祖先的靈位，每天吃飯之前都要給他上柱香，以示尊敬。當然，要體現佛在我們心中的重要性，不得不說就是經典電影《無間道》裡開篇第一場戲——曾志偉在一個廟裡拜了個佛，然後轉身講——算命佬話我呢條命係“一將功成萬骨枯”⋯⋯ 幾豪氣啊！
就是因為廣東人如此信佛，佛誕就顯得格外重要了，以致於香港將她定為公眾假期。每年的農曆四月八日，大家就會一早起身，去黃大仙啊、觀音廟啊、各處寺廟裡拜拜，裝香還神。
