原來由金女當董事長的“月光國際學院”是專負責台灣或大陸等僧人,或7-12歲的小孩,進入加拿大P島的 ”大覺佛學院”或”傳燈寺”; ”大陸僧團”與”大陸尼團”或“月光小學”的總指揮處;2017年,金女集團已經意識到不可以對外”多報” P島的僧數吧! P島的”月光小學”相當於”福智園區的小學”-即要到福團所屬的寺院出家,就須先進入福團所辦的學校.

*急於移民，PEI修改了教育法，允許兒童接受佛教僧侶培訓。
*月光國際學院把來自臺灣、新加坡、馬來西亞和中國大陸的孩子 帶到了加拿大人的家中，現在[2017年]也有300名僧侶。
*省政府急於移民，去年[2016年]修改了教育法，允許孩子們接受僧侶培訓，也允許阿米什家庭在家教育孩子。總理在帶來移民時支持另類課程，大多數島民也歡迎 "遠道而來的人"。
@...>原來由金女當董事長的 “月光國際學院” 是專負責台灣或大陸等僧人,或7-12歲的小孩,進入加拿大P島的 ”大覺佛學院”或”傳燈寺”; ”大陸僧團”與”大陸尼團” 或 “月光小學”的總指揮處.
*只是2017年進入P島的福僧,只有300名嗎? 應該是少報吧! 以2014年建好的小砂石的15棟建築的GEBIS “大覺佛學院”, 就已經號稱有500多位的福僧住在那.
且到2020年 GEBIS的傳燈寺的簡介-說有700多位的福僧,住在P島.—故2017年, 金女集團已經意識到不可以對外”多報” P島的僧數吧!
RE-學生的父母本身主要是佛教徒，他們把兒子送到加拿大的寺院，不需要支付任何學費。在投入之前，家庭通常會到現場參觀，男孩子在幼稚園 和一年級學習孔子，這門課程叫《大師的教誨101》
@...> 這是說要先進入P島”月光小學” 學習,後才能投入福團加拿大的 ”大覺寺”或”傳燈寺” “妙音尼團” 為僧或為尼嗎?
如是說來, P島的”月光小學” 不就是相當於台灣的”福智園區的小學”-即要到福團所屬的寺院出家,就是須先進入福團所辦的學校.

The little monks of Little Sands

Eager for immigration, P.E.I. changed its education laws allowing children
to train as Buddhist monks
急於移民，PEI修改了教育法，允許兒童接受佛教僧侶培訓。

At 3:30 a.m. the school bell gongs. Robes donned, boys file into a prayer
hall. They fold their socked feet onto cushions, chant Tibetan scripture and
prostrate before a statue of Buddha. Their school is a monastery. Their
curriculum is atypical for Prince Edward Island.
淩晨三點半，學校的鐘聲響起。男生們穿好長袍，排隊進入祈禱大廳。他們把襪子腳疊在墊子上，念著藏文經文，在一尊佛像前跪下。他們的學校是一所寺院。他們的課程對艾德華王子島來說是非典型的。
“This is a good starting point for life,” says Premier Wade MacLauchlan,
who has visited Moonlight International Academy, part of a Buddhist monastery
in Little Sands, P.E.I. “My main concern is that people are learning, working
at it, are well in their skin and in their lives,” he says, “not that education
is somehow a stamp we put on someone but a way we do our best.”
“這是一個很好的人生起點，"總理Wade MacLauchlan說，
他曾參觀過月光國際學院，這是位於小金沙的佛教寺院的一部分。
"我主要關注的是人們在學習，在努力，在皮膚和生活中都很好，"他說，"教育不是說是我們給某人蓋上某種印章，而是我們盡力而為的一種方式。"
The academy brings children from Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and China to
the home of Bud the Spud[@ Canadian 見如下註解],, now also home to 300 monks.
The provincial government, eager for immigration, changed its education
laws last year to allow children to train as monks, as well as Amish families
to homeschool their children. The premier supports alternative curricula when
it brings migrants, and most Islanders welcome the “come from away-ers.”
學院把來自臺灣、新加坡、馬來西亞和中國大陸的孩子 帶到了加拿大人的家 ( the home of Bud the Spud)，現在也有300名僧侶。
省政府急於移民，去年[2016年]修改了教育法，允許孩子們接受僧侶培訓，也允許阿米什家庭在家教育孩子。
總理在帶來移民時支持另類課程，大多數島民也歡迎 "遠道而來的人"。
Master Zhen-Ru studied with sages in Tibet before searching the globe for
a place to establish a monastery. In 2006, she registered a charity called the
Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute Society (GEBIS) in British Columbia,
then tried Ontario before she decided her disciples’ red robes were best suited
for P.E.I.
真如上師在西藏拜師學藝，之後便在全球各地尋找建立寺院的地方，
2006年，她在不列顛哥倫比亞省註冊了一個名為"大覺佛學院協會"（GEBIS）的慈善機構。然後嘗試了安大略省，然後她認為弟子們的紅袍 最適合在P.E.I。
“‘How come you monks always look so happy?’ ” locals ask, says Venerable
Dan, a monk at GEBIS. “If [the children’s] definition of happiness changes from
‘getting what I want’ to ‘helping others get what they want,’ ” he says, “it’s
a win-win situation.”
The province changed the Private Schools Act last year, allowing the
academy to teach in Mandarin and Tibetan.
The students’ parents are mainly Buddhists themselves, and they pay no
tuition to send their sons to the monastery in Canada.
Before committing, families usually visit the site, where boys study
Confucius in kindergarten and Grade 1, a course called Guru’s Teachings 101.
"'你們僧人怎麼總是看起來那麼快樂？"當地人問道，
GEBIS的僧人丹法師說。"如果[孩子們]對幸福的定義從'得到我想要的東西'轉變為'幫助別人得到他們想要的東西'，"他說，"這是一個雙贏的局面。"
該省去年[@2016年]修改了《私立學校法》，允許該學院用普通話和藏語教學。
學生的父母本身主要是佛教徒，他們把兒子送到加拿大的寺院，不需要支付任何學費。
在投入之前，家庭通常會到現場參觀，男孩子在幼稚園 和一年級學習孔子，這門課程叫《大師的教誨101》。
The school strips away material temptations so the children can dedicate
themselves to helping other living beings. After one rainfall, a boy patrolled
the gravel roads with a tofu container, using a woodchip to move slugs to safer
grass. The children eat plain meals so they don’t get attached to food, and
they fashion toys from chopsticks and rubber bands. The playground has homemade
slides, swings and a sandbox, where even the older monks occasionally play.
學校剝去了物質的誘惑，讓孩子們可以全身心地投入到幫助其他生靈的活動中去。
一次雨後，一個男孩拿著豆腐盒在碎石路上巡邏，用木片把蛞蝓移到更安全的草地上。
孩子們吃的是普通的飯菜，所以不會對食物產生依賴，他們用筷子和橡皮筋製作玩具。
操場上有自製的滑梯、秋千和沙箱，即使是年長的僧侶也會偶爾在那裡玩耍。
“The Mighty Island” is P.E.I.’s new slogan in its drive to grow its
population, a rebranding from the old “Gentle Island.” The province tied with
Alberta last year for immigration per capita—a critical feat given that the
number of Islanders is expected to start naturally declining with more deaths
than births in 2018 (the province also predicts a gender imbalance by 2055,
with a deficit of about 7,500 men).
In kindergarten at Moonlight International Academy, students learn the
stages of the path to enlightenment. They currently do not learn English, but
the academy may introduce the language in coming years. “Being in P.E.I.,
English is a must,” says Venerable Dan.
在月光國際學院的幼稚園裡，學生們學習通往開悟之路的各個階段。
他們目前不學習英語，但學院可能會在未來幾年引入英語。
在PEI過活 “英語是必須的。"丹法師說。
In monastic life, the children also learn must-nots. Monkhood demands celibacy,
and they learn sexual education around Grade 8 through health classes and
informal conversations with elders.
在寺院生活中，孩子們也學會了一些必須的東西。
出家要求獨身，他們在八年級左右通過健康課和與長者的非正式談話學習性教育。
“To train our mind to do what we want, we have to physically restrain
ourselves from certain things,” says Venerable Dan. “If you’re attached to
chocolate, it’s a good idea to stay away from a candy store for a while so you
can control yourself.” Regardless of curriculum, children seem to somehow
absorb popular culture.
"為了訓練我們的心做我們想做的事，我們必須在身體上克制自己對某些事情的依賴。"丹法師說。"如果你對巧克力情有獨鍾，最好暫時遠離糖果店，這樣才能控制自己。" 無論課程如何，孩子們似乎都會以某種方式吸收流行文化
When MacLauchlan visited Moonlight, he says, “you have all the impression
of going to a community that is living off the grid, or in its own kind of
universe apart.” But one of his ministers walked across campus with a young
monk in training, who held an umbrella for him. The boy examined the minister’s
face and said, “Has anyone ever told you you look like George Clooney?”
當MacLauchlan訪問月光時，他說："你有所有的印象是去一個生活在離群索居的社區，或在自己的一種宇宙中分開。"
但他的一位牧師帶著一位正在受訓的年輕僧侶走過校園，僧侶為他撐著傘。這個男孩審視著牧師的臉，說："有沒有人告訴過你，你長得像喬治-克魯尼？"
