1 金山聖寺通訊 GOLD MOUNTAIN MONASTERY NEWS Issue 278 期 6 月 & 7 月 14 年 Jun & Jul Sacramento Street San Francisco, C.A U.S.A. Tel: (415) newsletter@goldmountainmonastery.org Web Site: NON-PROFIT ORG. U.S. POSTAGE P A I D PERMIT #1018 Address correction requested 上人法語光陰寶貴 Time is Precious 光陰是過得非常快的, 在不知不覺地把暑假的時間就過去了在中國孔子說過, 這個人生就好像流水似的, 川流不息, 過去時光就不會再回來了又有的人說 : The time passes by very quickly. Without our realizing it, the summer is already over. In China, Confucius compared life to a ceaselessly flowing stream. Time that has gone by can never return. Someone also said, 一寸光陰一寸金 ; 寸金難買寸光陰 An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but even if one has an inch of gold, one can hardly buy back an inch of time. GMM News Issue 278 June & July

2 說這一寸的光陰, 就好像一寸黃金那麼樣寶貴可是這黃金, 你若丟了, 還可以想法子再把它找回來 ; 這光陰過去了, 就沒有法子再把它找回來了由這樣看來, 這光陰比黃金更貴重所以, 在佛教裏說 : 一寸時光, 就是一寸的命光這個時光已經過去了, 這個命光也就少一點所以才說 : 時光減處命光微時光減少了, 命光也就少一點了所以我們對這時間一定要看重了, 不要把它隨隨便便地就放過去了在我們這個暑假的時間, 由早晨六點鐘就開始, 或者打坐, 或者研究佛經那麼由早晨到晚間九點鐘這段時間, 每一個人都很認真地去用功修行我相信在這個期間, 比這個黃金更貴重, 比鑽石也更有價值, 所以大家能以在一起聞薰聞修在我們每個人生命裏頭, 這段時間可以說是最寶貴最有價值的一個時間 ; 可惜這個時間不太長, 那麼轉眼之間就過去了過去了, 可是我們每一個人所學的佛法, 在每一個人的腦筋裏頭, 在每一個人的八識田裏邊, 都種下去一個寶貴的金剛種子那麼這個種子種下去了, 等到將來一定會結金剛不壞的果金剛不壞的果就是佛果, 就是成佛那麼在什麼時候成呢? 這就看我們每一個人自己的耕耘灌溉這個種子種下去了, 但是好像種田似的, 種到地裏頭, 你必須要給它灌一點水, 除一除草, 把這個地耕得掀騰起來那麼你把這個地的草除去, 就是怎麼樣呢? 就我們每一個人要時時刻刻防微杜漸怎麼叫防微呢? 防微就是防備預防這個微細處, 我們的心念不要打妄想, 不要令它生很多雜念 An inch of time is as valuable as an inch of gold. If you lose gold, it s possible to recover it. Once time has gone by, however, there is no way to get it back. Therefore, time is even more valuable than gold. Thus, in Buddhism we say, An inch of time is an inch of life. When time passes by, one s life is also shorter. We must certainly value our time and not casually let it go by in vain. During this summer, we have begun our days at six o clock in the morning, either meditating or studying the Buddhist s. From early in the morning until nine o clock at night, every person applies himself diligently to cultivation. I believe that this period has been more precious than gold, more valuable than diamonds. Everyone has been together, being permeated and influenced by what we have heard and cultivated. This period of time could be considered a most precious and valuable time in each of our lives. It s a pity that this time is not that long; it has passed by in the twinkling of an eye. Although it is over, the Buddhadharma that each of us has learned has planted a precious Vajra seed in our brain and in the field of our eighth consciousness. This seed has been planted, and in the future it will certainly bear the indestructible fruit of Vajra. The indestructible vajra fruit is also the Buddha-fruit; in other words, we will become Buddhas. When will we become Buddhas? It depends on our own efforts at tilling and irrigating the fields. The seed has been planted in the ground, but as in farming, you have to water it, pull the weeds, and turn the soil by tilling it, making it soft so that the seed can sprout. How do you pull the weeds out? What does it mean to weed the ground? It means that at all times, each one of us must guard against what is subtle and stop what is gradually going to happen. That is we must guard against the arising of very subtle thoughts. We must put a stop to all false thoughts, getting rid of them completely. 2 金山聖寺通訊 278 期 2014 年六月七月

這是每一天這樣地用功, 每一天這樣去修行, 栽培灌溉就好像種田, 我灌一點水, 我再把這個地收拾得沒有草, 那麼一天一天的, 你這個金剛種子種到地裏去, 就生這個菩提的芽你菩提樹生出來了, 這就是菩提芽生出來了 ; 菩提芽生出來, 將來就結菩提果可是你要保護這個菩提芽, 保護這個菩提果, 你不要不管它了, 也不灌水, 也不去栽培它, 那麼它就會枯槁了, 會乾了你能以灌溉怎麼叫灌溉呢?

不守規矩就不合佛法所以我們做人一定要循規蹈矩, 要依照規矩去做 ; 不要太放逸了, 不要太浪漫了, 這是我對每一個人的期望都是這樣子 Every day we must apply effort in this way. Each day we must cultivate in this way, tending and irrigating the fields.

3 這是每一天這樣地用功, 每一天這樣去修行, 栽培灌溉就好像種田, 我灌一點水, 我再把這個地收拾得沒有草, 那麼一天一天的, 你這個金剛種子種到地裏去, 就生這個菩提的芽你菩提樹生出來了, 這就是菩提芽生出來了 ; 菩提芽生出來, 將來就結菩提果可是你要保護這個菩提芽, 保護這個菩提果, 你不要不管它了, 也不灌水, 也不去栽培它, 那麼它就會枯槁了, 會乾了你能以灌溉怎麼叫灌溉呢? 你就天天學習佛法, 用佛法的法水來灌溉這個菩提芽, 那麼這樣呢, 久而久之, 你這個金剛的果也就會成就了如果你過去了這個時間, 就不繼續地理它, 這個金剛的種子種下去是種下去了, 它也不容易生出來的你必須要好好地保護著你這個金剛的種子, 不要再做以前所歡喜做的事情, 就是要守規矩循規蹈矩, 不要再像以前那麼樣子不守規矩, 做一些個不守規矩的事情那麼你守規矩, 這就合佛法 ; 不守規矩就不合佛法所以我們做人一定要循規蹈矩, 要依照規矩去做 ; 不要太放逸了, 不要太浪漫了, 這是我對每一個人的期望都是這樣子 Every day we must apply effort in this way. Each day we must cultivate in this way, tending and irrigating the fields. It s just like farming. You give it some water and pull out all the weeds, day by day, and the vejra seed you have planted in the ground will produce a Bodhi sprout. After your Bodhi tree has produced shoots, that is, after your Bodhi sprout has come up, it will eventually bear the Bodhi fruit. But you have to protect that Bodhi sprout and Bodhi fruit. Don t neglect it. If you neglect to water it, and tend to it, then it will wither away and dry up. What is meant by watering? If you study the Buddhadharma every day and use the Dharma water of the Buddhadharma to irrigate your Bodhi sprout, then over the course of time, your vajra fruit will come to maturity. If you don t continue to care for this vajra seed after this period is over, then even though it was planted, it won t be easy for it to sprout. You must protect your vajra seed well. Don t go back to doing the things you used to like doing. Follow the rules and behave yourselves, Don t be as rowdy as you used to be. Don t do the heedless things that you used to do. If you follow the rules, then you are in accord with the Buddhadharma. If you don t follow the rules, then you are not in accord with the Buddhadharma. We should certainly be people who abide by the rules and word according to the regulations. Don t be too lax or overly emotional. Those are my expectations for each one of you. During this summer session of lectures on the Shurangama, it has surely been the case that Once it enters your ears, it is forever a seed of the Way. As soon as the principles of this pass through your ears, they remain forever in the field of your eighth consciousness as seeds of Bodhi. 在這個暑假的期間, 講這楞嚴經, 這一定是所謂一歷耳根, 永為道種 ; 經耳朵一聽這個經典的道理, 永遠在你八識田裏邊, 有這種菩提的種子 GMM News Issue Oct.

5 經文: 偈誦: 無苦集滅道諸苦逼迫各相攻聚集招感自不同惟滅可證究竟樂是道應修悟法空三轉四諦法輪運七覺八正意念勤一旦貫通成聖果偏真有餘乃化城苦集滅道, 這四諦法是聲聞人所修的何以謂之聲聞? 聲聞是聞佛聲音而悟道, 所以謂之聲聞這一類的眾生, 是佛最初所化的小乘的機緣在釋迦牟尼佛最初成佛, 就說華嚴經, 二乘有眼不見有耳不聞為什麼? 因為這一種的法太妙了, 太高了, 也太大了! 因為太妙, 所以二乘人根本就不明白這種的妙法, 所以他就不知道了, 所謂不可思議這個時候, 釋迦牟尼佛現的是千丈盧舍那身, 二乘人就等於小孩子一樣, 因為佛身太高, 所以他也就看不見了所謂 GMM News Issue Oct. June 2007 & July & Nov : There is no suffering, no accumulating, no extinction, no Way. Verse: Each of the sufferings exerts pressure, and all attach each other, Accumulating is feelings which beckon, each unlike the other. Only through extinction can the ultimate joy be attained. Therefore, this is the Way that should be practiced to awaken to the emptiness of dharmas. Through three turnings of the Four Truths the Dharma wheel revolves, Seven shares in enlightenment, The Eightfold Upright Path, intention, mindfulness, and diligence, One day connect right through And ripen the fruit of sagehood; Partial truth with residue is just a conjured city. Commentary: This passage of the sutra emptiness the Four Truth: suffering, accumulating, extinction, and the Way. Those are the dharmas cultivated by the Hearers (shravakas). Why are they called Hearers? Upon hearing the sound of the Buddha, they were enlightened to the Way. At the very beginning, the Buddha taught living beings who had causal connections with the kind of opportunity for change which is offered by the small vehicle. When Shakymuni Buddha first realized Buddhahood, he spoke the. Though they had eyes, those of the two vehicles did not see; though they had ears, they did not hear. Why didn t they see? Because that kind of Dharma was too wonderful, too high, and too great. Because it is so wonderful, those of the two vehicles basically don t understand it. They don t know what is called the inconceivable. They were all like little children, and the ten-thousand-foot high nisyanda body which was manifested by Shakyamuni Buddha was too high for them to see. So it was said: 5

於是乎, 佛就隱大示小, 現老比丘相, 一丈六尺高, 來說四諦法四諦法就是苦集滅道佛曾三轉四諦法輪第一次轉叫示轉, 第二次叫勸轉, 勸你學這個法第三次叫證轉這個轉是以運轉為意, 就好像六道輪迴, 轉過來轉過去這麼轉佛在第一次示轉說 : 此是苦, 逼迫性 ; 此是集, 招感性 ; 此是滅, 可證性 ; 此是道, 可修性告訴你了, 這苦是個逼迫性, 這叫示轉在第二次勸轉說 :

6 仰之彌高, 鑽之彌堅 ; 瞻之在前, 忽焉在後仰之彌高啊! 這麼仰起頭看, 看不見它高到什麼地方鑽之彌堅, 用鑽子鑽, 想把它鑽出窟窿來, 它還是很堅固瞻之在前, 忽焉在後, 看著它就在前邊, 忽然間又跑到後邊去好像釋迦牟尼佛放光, 往左邊放, 阿難就往左看, 往右邊放, 阿難就往右邊望, 這就叫瞻之在前, 忽焉在後因為這個法是不可思議的, 二乘人沒有法子照顧得來, 沒有法子完全懂, 所以有耳也不聞圓頓教, 因為太深了, 所以也就不明白了於是乎, 佛就隱大示小, 現老比丘相, 一丈六尺高, 來說四諦法四諦法就是苦集滅道佛曾三轉四諦法輪第一次轉叫示轉, 第二次叫勸轉, 勸你學這個法第三次叫證轉這個轉是以運轉為意, 就好像六道輪迴, 轉過來轉過去這麼轉佛在第一次示轉說 : 此是苦, 逼迫性 ; 此是集, 招感性 ; 此是滅, 可證性 ; 此是道, 可修性告訴你了, 這苦是個逼迫性, 這叫示轉在第二次勸轉說 : 此是苦, 汝應知 ; 此是集, 汝應斷 ; 此是滅, 汝應證 ; 此是道, 汝應修說你應該去做去, 這叫勸轉 The more I strain my gaze up towards it, the higher it soars. The deeper I bore down into it, the harder it becomes. I see it in front, but suddenly it is behind. You see something in front of you, and suddenly it is behind you. It is like when Shakyamuni Buddha emitted light to the left, and Ananda looked to the left; he emitted light to the right, and Ananda looked to the right, as Shurangama relates. Because this Dharma is inconceivable, those hinayana (smaller) vehicle have no way to deal with it and no way to understand it fully. Although they have ears, they do not hear the perfect, sudden teaching. Because it is too profound, they do not understand it. Thereupon, Shakyamuni Buddha, concealing the great and revealing the small, appeared in the body of a sixteen-foot-tall old bhikshu and spoke the dharma of the Four Truths (catur-arya-satyani): suffering (duhkha), accumulating (samudaga), extinction (nirodha), and the Way (marga). There are three turnings of the Dharma wheel of the Four Truths, so called because they are like revolving backwards and forwards of the wheel of the six paths. The first turning of the Dharma wheel of the Four Truth is the turning by manifestation; the second is the turning by exhortation, which urges you to study this dharma, and the third is turning by verification. The turning by manifestation runs this way: This is suffering; its nature is oppression. This is accumulating; its nature is feeling which beckons. This is extinction; its nature is that it can be verified. This is the Way; its nature is that it can be cultivated. The turning by exhortation runs this way: This is suffering; you should know about it. This is accumulating; you should cut it off. This is extinction; you should verify it. This is the Way; you should cultivate it. ( 待續 To be continued) 6 金山聖寺通訊 278 期 2014 年六月七月

7 南無大悲觀世音, 願我速度一切眾 Na Mo ly ate Guan Shr Yin, May I quickly cross over all living beings. 知一切法, 得智慧眼, 為的是要廣度一切眾生, 令眾生絕生死流, 趣涅槃樂話說回來, 知一切法, 得智慧眼, 已是多生種下的善根, 纔有這樣好的因緣果報, 能遇佛法, 精進修行接下來就是要發大悲心, 衆生無邊誓願度了 The purpose of knowing all the Dharma and attaining the eye of wisdom is to extensively cross over all living beings, so that they end the flow of birth and death, and go toward the blissful nirvana. However, being able to know all the Dharma and attain eye of wisdom is because we have planted roots of goodness for many lives, then we have such good cause and conditions to be able to encounter Buddha-dharma, and to cultivate vigorously. In the following, we should give rise to great compassion, Living beings are limitless, I vow to cross over them all. 南無大悲觀世音, 願我早得善方便 Na Mo ly ate Guan Shr Yin, May I attain skillful appropriate means. 度衆生並不是容易的事舉例說, 你的至親不信佛教, 你千方百計希望他不要錯過這人身難得的機會, 可是他不聼你的甚至你有意無意地把佛教的法語開示放在他的座椅前, 他也不屑一顧可以說他是與佛無緣, 但是你已經作到善知方便度眾生了嗎? Crossing over living beings is not something easy to do. For example, your close relatives do not believe in Buddhism, and you are at the end of your wit to tell him not to miss the rare opportunity of being a human, however, he does not listen to you. Intentionally or unintentionally, you put the Dharma talks before his eyes, however he does not even bother to take a look. You may say he has few affinities with the Buddha. On your side, have you been able to skillfully know appropriate means to cross over living beings? 南無大悲觀世音, 願我速乘般若船南無大悲觀世音, 願我早得越苦海 Na Mo ly compassionate Guan Shr Yin, May I quickly take the ship of Prajna. Na Mo ly compassionate Guan Shr Yin, May I soon cross the ocean of sufferings. 前面八句, 是我們的願望, 還需要行才能感果乘般若船越苦海是行, 到達彼岸是果宣化上人曾經以偈頌解釋般若波羅蜜多心經為方便使一般人易於明白, 他以妙智達彼岸勉强表達般若波羅蜜多這古來不翻的梵文辭句, 明白地告訴我們乘微妙智慧的船方能越過這使人頭出頭没深廣無際輪回生死的苦海怎樣才能坐上這妙智的船呢? 那就是要修行戒定慧三無漏學 GMM News Issue 278 June & July

8 The previous eight sentences express our vows and wishes, however it still takes practice to achieve fruition. Taking the ship of prajna to cross the sea of suffering is the practice, reaching the other shore is the fruition. The Venerable master Hsuan Hua used verses to explain Heart sutra of prajna paramita. In order for ordinary people to understand easily, he used reaching the other shore by wondrous wisdom to tentatively explain the meaning of prajana paramita, which is a Sanskrit word that has not been translated since ancient time. It clearly tells us that only by taking the ship of subtle and wondrous wisdom, can we cross the deep, vast and boundless ocean of sufferings, within which we keep rising and falling while going through samsara of birth and death. How can we board the ship of wondrous wisdom? By keeping precepts, cultivating Samadhi and practicing wisdom-the three non-outflow studies. 南無大悲觀世音, 願我速得戒定道南無大悲觀世音, 願我早登涅槃山 Na Mo ly compassionate Guan Shr Yin, may I quickly attain precepts, Samadhi and the Way. Na Mo ly compassionate Guan Shr Yin, may I soon ascend the mountain of nirvana. 三無漏學以持戒清淨, 得大禪定, 由定發慧為達道津要單拿五戒 : 殺盜淫妄酒來説, 不殺, 就是長養我們的大悲心 ; 再加上不吃衆生肉, 以佛心為己心, 這樣方能有感遂通古德說 : 念佛不吃素, 業在佛難度前面說過, 不持戒, 又怎能與佛菩薩的大悲心相應呢? 欲圓滿道果, 必須涉水攀山梵語涅槃, 華言寂滅或圓寂, 是佛教修行者可達到的最圓滿無上之性德高峰, 這裡以涅槃比喻作山乃登峰造極之意以上八句, 告訴我們發了願要不畏艱辛, 難行能行, 方能自度度他, 冀求佛果 The purport of three kinds of learning of non-outflow is-by keeping precepts purely, one attains great Samadhi, then from Samadhi wisdom arises. This process is the critical gate to realize the Way. Take the five precepts for example, refraining from killing, stealing, lusting, telling lies and drinking intoxicants. Refraining from killing is to develop and nourish our compassion, on top of that, if we do not eat living beings, while use the Buddha s mind as our own mind, then by this way, we can get response and have connection with the Buddha. It has been mentioned that if we do not keep precepts, then how can we unite in oneness with the great compassionate heart of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. If one wants to perfectly accomplish in the Way, one must cross water and climb mountains. The Sanskrit Nirvana is translated as tranquil stillness or perfect stillness, it is the highest peak of the perfect, unsurpassed virtue of nature which a Buddhist cultivator can reach. Here mountain is the analogy of nirvana, which connotes the meaning that it is the summit and ultimate point. The above eight sentences indicate that after we make vows, we should not fear hardship and difficulties, we should undertake what is hard to undertake, only by this way, can we cross over ourselves and others, thus fulfill our wish for realizing Buddhahood. 南無大悲觀世音, 願我速會無為舍南無大悲觀世音, 願我早同法性身 Na Mo ly compassionate Guan Shr Yin, may I quickly dwell in the house of non-doing. Na Mo greatly compassionate Guan Shr Yin, may I soon be one with the body of dharma-nature. 舍是房舍, 是人們最安樂的住止居處會是會合稱無為者, 因爲解脫境界是無所作為, 究竟不生不滅這才是安穩處 House is where people peacefully abide. Meet, is to meet and unite with. It is called non-doing, because the state of liberation is free of any doing, and it ultimately neither arises nor extinguishes. This is the peaceful and secure place. ( 待續 To be continued) 8 金山聖寺通訊 278 期 2014 年六月七月

9 我學佛的因緣 2012 年宣公上人涅磐紀念日司徒少輝講于金山聖寺 My Cause and Affinity of Learning Buddhism - spoken by Situ Shaohui on the Nirvana Memorial Day of Venerable Master Hua 諸佛菩薩宣公上人各位法師各位善知識各位師兄, 阿彌陀佛首先感謝各位法師給我機會與大家結法緣先講一下我不吃肉的故事 All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Venerable Master, all Dharma Masters, all good wise advisors, and all fellow cultivators. Amitabha. First, I would like to thank all Dharma Masters giving me this opportunity to tie dharma affinity with everyone, and to talk about my story for not eating meat. 大概是在七年前, 我曾經參加過一貫道有一次, 在那兒上課時, 我聽到一個故事 : 有兩個要好的朋友甲和乙, 經常都會相約去飽餐一頓有一次, 甲邀請乙到他家裡吃飯, 買了一些食物回家烹煮, 其中一款菜式是黃鱔鑽豆腐烹飪的方式是這樣的 : 用一那個鍋盛滿冷水, 把豆腐和活生生的黃鱔放在這鍋内, 然後用火來燒, 隨著火的熱度, 水溫慢慢的升高, 活生生的黃鱔在熱溫度之下, 扭曲著身體, 極其痛苦, 本能的鑽進豆腐裡水煮開了, 黃鱔也死了這兩個人一邊煮一邊看到這種現象, 覺得自己很殘忍, 於是不敢再吃肉, 不再殺生 It was about seven years ago, I participated in Yiguandao (a religious sect also known as I-kuantao). Once, I heard a story there while taking a class: There were two people A and B who were best friends. Often times, they would go out to eat until they got full. One time, A bought some raw food and invited B to his house to eat. One of the dishes was called yellow eel pierces thru tofu. The way they cooked this dish was to fill up a pot of cold water and put the tofu and the live yellow eel in the pot. The temperature of the water would slowly increase as the pot was heated. The live yellow eel, extremely painful, twisted its body and tried to dig its way into the piece of tofu. When the water was boiling, the yellow eel died. As the two, having observed the situation throughout the whole time, they felt that they were very cruel, they dared not eat the meat. They no longer wanted to kill anymore. 我當時聽得很入神, 我想 : 如果我是那條黃鱔, 被人家這樣子煮來吃, 是不可言說的痛苦於是第二天我就發心不再吃肉, 那天是愚人節 Listening to the story, I was captivated. I thought to myself, if I was that yellow eel and was eaten in this way, the pain must be ineffable. Next day, I made a vow not to eat meat any more.that was on April Fool's Day when I made that vow. 下面是我皈依宣公上人座下的因緣 ---- 一周年感想 : The following was my cause and affinity of taking refuge under the Venerable Master Hua's Dharma Assembly---- my reflection on my one-year anniversary of taking refuge. GMM News Issue 278 June & July

10 我是 2011 年 6 月 5 日, 宣公上人涅盤 16 週年紀念日那一天皈依的, 到今年已一年多了對萬佛聖城和宣公上人的了解, 是緣於 2011 年的一個清明節, 拜祭祖先日我以前是去一貫道的場所 ( 以前不知道原來拜拜也有區分, 只是認為有佛像, 燒香拜佛, 有上課講解道理, 而且那裡的主人待人也很好, 也是主張吃素, 就認為是修行了 ) 最近幾年他們那裡都有每年祭祖, 那天, 有很多素食水果等等, 還會播放快板唱誦的地藏經 CD I took refuge on June 5th, 2011, that was the 16th Memorial Day since Ven. Mater Hua entered nirvana. It was just more than a year ago. I started to learn about the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas and Venerable Master Hua on the day of the Ching Ming Festival in It was a day of worshipping ancestors. Before that time, I had been going to Yiguandao. I always thought as long as there were Buddhas' images, burning of incense and bowing practice, and lectures on classics, that would be cultivation. I didn't know there is distinction in the way of veneration. However, the host of that place treated everyone very nicely, and they also advocate vegetarianism. For recent years, they also had the yearly ancestral worship. On that day, they had lots of vegetarian dishes and fruits, and they played the allegro chanting of the Earth Store from a CD. 在 2011 年, 他們是要親自念, 而且還邀請了兩位會念這部經的朋友一起帶領我們念, 我是第一次接觸這部經典, 跟不上念, 但眼睛還是跟得上看, 越看越歡喜這部經典 : 因為我們凡夫時時刻刻都在造業而不知道, 也不知道造業後所要受的果報是什麼, 這部經典就很明白告訴我們, 那時候我這樣想, 於是在拜祭完後, 我就建議那裡的講師跟我們講解這部經典在那裡, 我也有接觸過金剛經心經大學中庸論語和六祖壇經那時還正在學習道德經於是那個講師就答應在學習完道德經後, 再學習地藏經於是我就請了一片 CD 在車上聽, 還想請一部地藏經回家讀, 但因為那部經全是用國語注音, 我也看不懂後來我忽然發現了一部裝訂很結實, 藍色精裝版漢語拼音的地藏菩薩本願經, 我徵求那裡主人的同意, 歡喜地請回家閲讀 But in 2011, they wanted to read the personally, so they invited two people who knew how to recite the to lead us to read. It was the first time I encountered this. Although I could not follow the recitation, but my eyes could follow the text. The more I read, the more I liked it. As ordinary people, we have always been creating karmas without knowing it. This clearly tells us that the kinds of retribution we would undergo after we have created the karma. After the ancestral worship, I suggested to the teacher to explain this to us. I already came into contact with the Vajra (the Diamond ), the Heart of Prajna Paramita, the Learning, the Doctrine of the Mean, the Analects of Confucius, and the Sixth Patriarch's Dharma Jewel Platform. At that time, I was still learning the Tao Te Ching. So the teacher promised to teach us the Earth Store after we finished learning the Tao Te Ching. I got a copy of the CD so I could listen in the car. I was going to get the text to read at home, but it was annotated with Mandarin zhuyin phonetics that I could not understand. Suddenly I discovered a blue hard copy of the of the Past Vows of the Earth Store Bodhisattva with Hanyu Pinyin annotations, so I joyfully took it home to read after I got the permission from the host.
