三寶修持中英對照 五


經行


 



就像任何的星球都要找到它的磁力線,我們要把我們的念力線找到,就是無字真經。


Just as any planet has to follow its magnetic line, we also have to follow our righteous thoughts; that is, the Five Word Sutra.


無字真經就是我們和彌勒佛之間的磁力線,以彌勒佛為中心,彌勒佛再以老為中心,所有的佛都以老為中心,就好像太陽,它是恆星,但是太陽還是有繞著更大的磁場在轉


The Five Word Sutra is the magnetic line between us and Maitriya Buddha. It is centered by Maitriya Buddha and Maitriya Buddha is also centered by the heavenly mother. The heavenly mother is the center of all Buddha and bodhisattvas. Like the sun, it is a fixed star, but the sun itself also rotates within a bigger magnetic field.


我們以彌勒佛為中心,念無字真經,這時候我們的心就會完全的收束,收束在這個磁力場裡面,然後你就會覺得做什麼事情都得心應手,就從走路開始,養成持念真經的習慣。


When we are centered by Maitriya Buddha and reciting the Five Word Sutra, our mind is highly concentrated within His magnetic field. Then, you will feel everything goes very smoothly. That’s why we start to develop the habit of reciting the Five Word Sutra through walking.  


 


佛力軌道


 


    有沒有想過,推動地球自轉、公轉需要多少能量?人類要發射一艘太空船,要用非常多的燃料、能量,才能將太空船推進太空,但星球只要在軌道上運行,完全不需要燃料。可以想像如果我們用人造的燃料要推動一顆星球運轉,是多麼困難的事。


    Have you ever thought of the question: how much energy will it take for the earth to rotate or revolve around the sun? Humans have to use a great amount of fuels or energy to launch a space ship into the space. However, a planet doesn’t need any fuel to rotate on the right orbit. Can you imagine how difficult it will be for us to push a planet into its right track with artificial fuels?


同樣的我們如果找到我們的正軌,行走在軌道上,生命就不再是沉重無法承擔的。而是一切輕鬆順利。


Likewise, if we can find our right track and go around it, our life will never be a burden or unbearable responsibility. On the contrary, it will go very relaxingly and smoothly.


    我們不必,也不能自己去創造軌道,我們人類的正軌存在於仙佛、聖人所爲我們設定的律法。依循佛的戒律、神的律法,就是在正軌上。最簡單的回歸正軌就是∣持念佛號。


    As human beings, we don’t need to, and we can’t create the right orbit by ourselves. Our right track exists in all the commandments which are set up by Buddha, or many saints. If we follow their regulations or God’s commandments, we are in the right track. The easiest to return to the right track is: recite Buddha’s names.


    如果我們活在佛力的軌道上走在正軌上,我們的人生將進入勞而不倦、受苦不憂、病而不痛…的一種自然運行狀態,而不必奮力去和命運搏鬥,不會終日


事倍功半徒勞無功。而『佛號』就是我們的軌道。


Once we live in the right track led by Buddha, our lives will become so natural and easy that it seems we will work but not tired, suffer but not worried, and get ill but not painful. We don’t need to fight with the destiny, but we still won’t make efforts in vain. Buddha’s names are just our orbits. 


    星球的軌道在磁力線上,生命的軌道在佛力線上。佛力如何發動?專注有力的念佛。當佛力發動時,力量是不可思議的,和我們用自己的力量完全不同。


    The orbit of the planets is on the magnetic line, and the orbit of our lives is in Buddha’s hand. How can we start this great power from Buddha? By reciting their names in a concentrative and powerful way, we are connected with Buddha. Once Buddha’s power enters, we will feel very incredible. This power is very different from ours.


    我們平時遇到困難,會用自己的辦法解決,這些方法有的正確有的錯誤,有的有效有的無效,你可以自己做主決定用什麼方法,經常即使我們知道該如何處理是最恰當,卻不一定做得到,我們往往隨順自己的習性任性而為。比方夫妻間的衝突,明知道要冷靜不要說氣話,但最後卻往往還是惡言相向,完全悖離自己的理性。


    In our daily lives, we tend to solve problems in our own way. Some of our methods work, but some of them don’t. You can decide which way to take. Even if we know the best solution, we may fail to follow it. We often follow our habits or wills instead of the right decision. For example, our reason tells us to control our temper when husband and wife quarrel, but our habit makes us argue. This usually results in serious or hysterias shouting. It is fully against man’s reason. 


    但是念佛就不同,念佛就像打電話報警一樣,一旦警方接手,就不是你能做主決定的,警察做主,專業處理,你不能再自由主張。


    Reciting Buddha’s names is quite different. It is like calling the police. Once the police take over the case, we are not in charge of it. When the police govern, they’ll handle it in a professional way. You cannot do as you wish.


    同樣的你唸彌勒佛,彌勒佛感應到我們的求助,會接手將你的問題做最專業的處理。結果未必是我們所希望的,但一定是最恰當、最適合我們的安排。彌勒祖師會將我們的生命推向最佳狀態,「能所雙忘、物我一如」。


    Likewise, once we start to recite Maitriya Buddha’s name, He receives our pleas and will take over our problems in the most professional way. Its result may not be the same as our own wish, but it surely will be the best and most suitable arrangement for us. Matriya Buddha can push our lives into the best status --- no differentiation between subject and object (that is, to come together as one with Maitriya Buddha).


   


經行有佛力加持


Walking practice is blessed by Maitriya Buddha.


    念真經和念佛的不同在於經行有彌勒佛力加持。


    The difference between reciting the Five Word Sutra in mind and reciting Buddha’s names out is: walking practice is blessed by Maitriya Buddha.


 


    我們得到這個真經是在求道時無念的狀態下,所以念這個真經和念別的佛號不一樣,它可以印到你的本心。當我們能夠將真經融入我們的生活中,那時我們生命就進入一個經行的狀態,在一個恆久正常的軌道中運行,每一個行為中都有真經陪伴著你,每一個念頭都不失正念。每個動作中都有彌勒祖師的加持。


    The time we received the Tao is under the state of no thoughts. This is the very difference between the Five Word Sutra and other Buddha’s names. It can be deeply carved into our original nature. Once we can use the Five Word Sutra into our daily lives, our lives will work in a very regular way, just like the planets rotating in a regular orbit. In every action, we are accompanied by the Five Word Sutra. Also, each of our thoughts will be righteous since it is blessed by Maitriya Buddha.


 


修持實例Real examples


 


有一位賣早餐的道親叫阿宗,每天早上煮豆漿時要攪動豆漿,如果那一天他每攪動一圈就念一次真經,那天每個客人都會不約而同的稱讚他的豆漿為什麼特別香醇?相反的如果那天沒有念真經,就沒人稱讚了。


There is a member selling breakfast in Taipei . He has to make soy bean milk every morning. If he remembers to recite the Five Word Sutra while cooking, every customer will be very satisfied with his soy bean milk because it is so delicious. On the contrary, if he forgets to do this practice, then his soy bean milk will be very common. 


一樣的例子也發生在另一位道親身上,石岡一位坤道經常開班後煮一鍋麵給大家吃,每個人都覺得非常好吃,仔細看卻發現沒加什麼特別的材料。常有人問她秘訣是什麼:「究竟加什麼調味料,為什麼簡單的麵卻那麼好吃?」她說:「秘訣在念真經,如果邊煮邊念真經,煮的菜就很好吃。如果心情不好,又沒念真經,就很難吃。」主婦道親們可以試試看。


The same is true with another female member. In Shi-kang, she usually cooks noodles for everyone to eat after class. And everyone feels her noodles are so delicious. But actually there is no special spice inside. When people ask her the tips for cooking, she answers, “The secret is to recite the Five Word Sutra. Once we recite it while cooking, then the food will be very yummy. ”


除了煮菜時可以默念真經以外,走路,是念真經最好的時機。


Besides cooking, walking is also the best time to recite the Five Word Sutra.


後學的父親,快九十歲了,有關節炎、風濕痛、坐骨神經痛…,身體在迅速退化,很多老人雖然身體很健康,可是八九十歲就開始坐輪椅,包括保養得最好的,一百多歲的蔣宋美齡也一樣,衰退是生命無法抗拒的自然現象,


My father is almost ninety years old. He has some physical problems such as arthritis, rheumatic fever, sciatica. Although he is healthy, he still cannot resist the natural course of aging.


    我父親發現自己的身體一直退化,這十幾年他每天經行,一開始走五分鐘就很累,走一步念一個字,漸漸他覺得很得力,覺得走路的時候,好像有一個力量在幫他抬起腳的感覺,因為他衰老有病,所以特別有那種覺受,他覺得走路輕鬆了不少,起先走五分鐘、十分鐘、十五分鐘,到現在每天一出去就要走八十分鐘以上,最少也要走八十分鐘,這麼大年紀走八十分鐘,速度還蠻快的,走起來,健步如飛。每天從石岡走到東勢再走回來,來回有 八公里 的路程,我都沒辦法。石岡鄉幾乎每個人都認識他,看到他都對他的健壯豎大拇指。而他自己的感覺是一邊走一邊唸真經有佛力加持。


When my father was aware that his body was getting old and feeble, he started to do the walking practice every day. In the beginning, he felt tired after walking for five minutes. But he kept walking and reciting. Gradually, he walked better and better. It seemed that there was a great power helping him lift his feet.


He felt he could walk in a relaxing way. From five minutes, ten or fifteen minutes to eighty minutes, now he can walk for eight kilometers for eighty minutes each time. Even a young man like me cannot make this. Our neighbors all praise him and he deeply feels his success comes from Buddha’s blessing.


我觀察他平時在家中步履蹣跚走路常失去平衡顛顛倒倒,但一念真經就變得健步如飛。不得不相信真的有佛力在加持他走路。(講這堂課時父親是八十九,出書時父親已九十一,經過一場大病,已不再每天早晚步行一個多小時。但仍然十分健康,每天甩手一個多小時,觀佛燈二十分鐘,觀佛燈還觀出一個奇蹟,就是原本幾近聾的耳朵,竟然聽力漸恢復。


My father’s achievement is very different from the situation at home. He sometimes stumbles at home, but after reciting the Five Word Sutra, he often walks in a smooth and fast way. We cannot explain this fact but can only attribute it to Maitriya Buddha’s blessing.


我們修行有超自然現象,超自然現象是什麼?就是佛,就是佛力,佛力有不可思議的功能,而佛力就是從你的念力呼喚而來,念佛就有佛力,佛就會來支撐你。


    In religious practice, there can be some supernatural phenomena. What are supernatural phenomena? It is Buddha’s or God’s power. This power is very incredible. It comes from our calling. Once we recite Buddha’s name, his power enters and he will come to support us.


 


啟動我們生命的電力switch on our life’s power


 


    真經是佛號,佛號就是佛的名字?為什麼要唸佛號?


    The Five Word Sutra is Maitriya Buddha’s name. Why should we recite it?


佛之於我們,就像電之於這個世界,如果我們不去使用電力,電依然存在不會改變,只是我們的生活少了豐富。


    As electricity is to this world, so is Buddha to us. If we don’t use the electricity, it still exists and never changes. The only problem is that the electricity is not beneficial to our lives.


   


佛的力量,就像電力對於我們生活的影響,有無限可能,只要你去使用。唸佛號就是啟動我們和佛之間的電路通道,當我們陷入黑暗,可以唸佛號來啟動生命的明燈,當我們缺乏動力,可以唸佛號來啟動生命的馬達…我們的生命就不再只是單薄的自己,而是有無盡的後援電力。


Buddha’s power has great influence on us just like electricity. It has unlimited possibilities as long as we start to use it. Reciting Buddha’s name means to switch on the great power between Buddha and us. When we run into difficulties, we can recite Buddha’s name to have a bright and correct guidance. When we become depressed, we can recite Buddha’s name to light up our lives. We are not lonely at all. Instead, we have this unlimited great power in the universe.


所以,一旦走上這個所謂念力線以後,可以克服衰老、疾病。所以佛力不可思議,如基督徒相信:「在人,是不可能的,在神,是全能的。」


 


Therefore, once we practice, we can conquer many problems like aging or illness. Buddha’s power is so incredible that Christians believe that God is almighty.


同樣地不只是走路,人生的每一分鐘,都可以像經行一樣。大部分人總是覺得活的很疲憊,為什麼很疲憊呢?就像前面講的,星球沒有走在軌道上,當然是寸步難行,甚至在宇宙中亂飛亂撞,很危險。如果我們在正軌上,生命應是很輕鬆自在的。


Not only in walking, but also in every moment of our lives, we can live in a regular orbit by reciting. Most modern people live a tiring live. Why? It’s because they do not live in the right track. Their lives may be in a mess or often make wrong decisions, like a planet colliding in the universe. It’s very dangerous. If we live in a right track, life should be very easy and relaxing.     


就從現在開始,走路的時候呢!很專注的.........(這五字不是真經),不是念『南無彌勒佛』是念無字真經,默念,慢慢的養成這個習慣以後,你所有的動作都會融化到這個真經裡面去,這時候真經會慢慢的形成一個所謂的免疫系統,不用刻意去念,它自然會出來,在日常生活中動作裡面,一旦養成習慣以後,你不念它的時候,它會「不念自念,不持而持。」雖不去唸卻自動念。達到唸佛最高境界。


Just from now on, let’s concentrate on reciting while walking. Gradually, once we have the habit of reciting, the sutra will accompany all our actions. And the Five Word Sutra can become the so-called immune system. It will naturally come to our mind in daily lives and actions. Even when we are not reciting, it may appear automatically in mind. This is the supreme result of reciting practice.


 


不持而持Let Buddha’s name form the immune system of our lives


 


持念佛號最高的境界是「不持而持」,不必去持念,自然就會持念,叫不持而持。佛號便在我們生命中形成一個免疫系統。我們身體裡面有免疫系統,當細菌入侵的時候,免疫系統會發動,然後把細菌撲滅,我們身體裡面有所謂的


吞噬細胞、殺手細胞,當我們生病或細菌入侵,白血球會大量增加,把細菌消滅以後,它又恢復到原狀。


Why did we mention that Buddha’s name can form the immune system of our lives?  Physically speaking, our immune system will start when we are attacked by viruses.  


At this moment, phagocytes like white blood cells will increase right away to extinguish them. After viruses are wiped out, the number of the white blood cells will return to it normal one.


真經也是一樣,真經一旦念成習慣以後,當有災難、有煩惱、疾病、業障,現前的時候,真經會自動跑出來,一直念,自然的你心中就充滿了真經,心中充滿了真經,就表示它已經成為了你的一個免疫系統,護持你的一個保護力量,一直念,業力就一直消除。


This is true with the Five Word Sutra. Once we have the habit of reciting, it will naturally come to our mind in emergency, such as disasters, worries, illnesses, or bad karmas, etc. the Five Word Sutra is just like the white blood cells, which help us reduce all those problems in our minds. When we keep reciting, it can become a protective force in life and help purify our bad karmas.


 


當災難業障過去,真經也自動消失。就像等到細菌都撲滅以後,白血球就恢復正常量,吞噬細胞就恢復,吞噬細胞就不見了。


When those disasters or bad karmas are gone, the Five Word Sutra may disappear automatically. Just as the white blood cells reduce after we recover, the sutra disappears after those disasters are gone. 


 


當我們有災難,小的災難如煩惱、憂愁、哀傷、憤怒,情緒的問題,喜、怒、哀、樂,情緒不好的時候,真經會自動出來陪伴你,把你情緒調整好。


大的災難則如疾病、劫難。常念真經也可以一一化解。


No matter how small our problems may be, the Five Word Sutra is sure to accompany us and help us adjust our emotions. Small problems are like daily worries, sorrow, sadness, anger, etc. Big problems are like illnesses or disasters. The reciting practice can help solve all these problems.


 


石岡一位道親,有一次業障現前,開車時一個機車騎士喝醉酒從對面越過車道來撞他,他閃躲不及,這叫飛來橫禍,防不勝防,業障現前。機車騎士沒有戴安全帽,頭直接撞到汽車鋼板,那位道親開福斯進口休旅車,鋼板很硬的,機車扭曲糾結成一團,騎士撞到鋼板以後,彈起來,飛越過馬路,砰!掉在我家門口昏迷不醒。我聽到一聲巨響,趕快衝下去看,發現這道親一下車站在路邊用三寶,為什麼我知道他在用三寶呢,因為他手抱合同不放。這是他的直覺反射動作,他平常用三寶用習慣了。


Take a Tao member in Shih-kang for example. Once when she was driving past my house, a drunken motorcyclist suddenly bumped into her car on the head. He didnt wear the helmet, and his bumping was so serious that her car was badly damaged. The motorcyclist flied across the road and fell down in front of my house and then lost consciousness. When I hurried out to have a look, I found out that Tao member kept using the Three Treasures on the road. When such a big disaster happened, using the Three Treasures is her intuition response. Because it is her daily habit to use the Three Treasures.    


他說他看到機車撞過來的時候,第一件事情就是一直念無字真經,這位機車騎士,躺在地上完全失去知覺,救護車來的時候說:「完了!完了!你們賠不完了,他死了也就算了,活著一定植物人,你要養他一輩子。」我坐上救護車送他到醫院,一路上也不斷用三寶。


She said she couldnt do anything except reciting the Five Word Sutra when it happened. The ambulance arrived and someone told us, He has lost consciousness. This must be very serious. He may become a vegetable and you may have to take care of him for the rest of his life. When we were on the way to the hospital, all of us kept using the Three Treasures. 


照理說鋼板都撞凹進去了,可想像撞擊的力量有多大。到醫院後這騎士突然醒過來,做了所有的檢查,卻只有皮肉擦傷,第二天酒醒就出院了。酒精測濃度高達1.5! 我第一次也是最後一次聽到有人酒測高達1.5,更稀奇的是竟然沒撞死。


When we look at the crashed car, we could easily imagine how hard it had been hit. But to our surprise, the motorcyclist came to his consciousness. All the check-up indicated that he only got some bruise. The second day, he recovered and went home. However, the degree of his alcohol concentration rose up to 1.5 the day before. This is the first and my last time to hear that someone with such a high degree could escape from death.   


這個就是我們的念力場,正念發動的力量。如果我們時常經行,念無字真經。後面護持你的就是整個諸佛世界的力量,整個老、彌勒祖師的救苦大系統,你就納入這個系統,當我們有苦難時,彌勒祖師會來解救我們。


This is the power of our righteous orbit and righteous thoughts. If we keep doing the walking practice and reciting the Sutra, what can protect and bless us is the great power from all Buddha world. This is the greatest system which can save us from all sufferings. It is originated from the heavenly mother and Maitriya Buddha. In this way, we can be fit into the heavenly system. Whenever there are disasters, Maitriya Buddha is sure to save us.


˙可以帶到生活中每一分鐘都可以修we can do the practice in every minute


 


經行,是我們學會在生活中念佛的方法,學會以後,不只是走路,隨時隨地都可以讓無字真經成為你生活中的一部份。工作也好、煮菜、運動…都可以一邊念真經。


The walking practice is the method for us to learn to recite Buddhas name in life. After we are used to it, we can make the Five Word Sutra a part of our lives at any time and any place. No matter we are cooking, working, or exercising, etc., we can recite the Sutra at the same time and then do all these things better.


古來的修行者,都會被送到廚房、菜園、果園,或稻田…去做工,就是要學會經行的功夫,所以經行不是光走路,藉著走路,慢慢的這個真經融化進生活,譬如曾有一個打鐵匠,一邊打鐵一邊念佛,最後開悟成道。


Even many great ancient masters reached enlightenment with this method. They were sent to the kitchen, garden, fruit yard or farm to work for learning the reciting practice. Therefore, the walking practice can be fit into other aspects of life and make us reach the enlightenment. Once there was a blacksmith. He recited one word of Buddhas name while striking the iron. Day after day, year after year, only by this simple practice, he reached the enlightenment.


後學道場的道親,從三歲到九十歲每個人都各有一套念真經的方法。有人數念珠念,有學生在校車上數經過的路燈,一支念一個字,有切菜切一下念一字的、有攪湯攪一圈念一字的,有數五個手指頭念…五花八門比我還會念。


The members of all ages in our Tao groups have their own way of reciting the Five Word Sutra. Some of them recite by counting the beads; some students recite by counting street lamps when on the school bus; some recite each word by chopping vegetables once. They even have other methods like counting five fingers or reciting while stirring soup. They have various ways to recite the Sutra in daily life.


這個習慣讓他們可以應付人生各種災難,不會活在一種恐懼災難隨時會來,而不知如何化解。


This habit enables them to handle all kinds of disasters in life. They no longer have the fear of any coming disasters. Instead, they have their way to solve those problems.


當你發現負面情緒出現,心中會自動念真經,這表示你免疫系統已經恢復了,你已經進入經行的一個入流了,這就表示已經入流了,入了聖流了,表示你修道已經入流了,這是很重要的,入流的方式就是什麼?很簡單,就是「默念真經,一直念到真經自動會起念」,不念而念、不持而持,自動起念,真經,自動會出現在腦海,這個時候你就可以放心了。


Once you find yourself reciting the Five Word Sutra automatically when negative emotions appear, it means your immune system of awareness has been working. You are now in the righteous orbit or Buddhas pure land. This is quite important when doing the practice. The method is very simple as well: just keep reciting the Five Word Sutra until it comes to our mind automatically.


我們修行如何檢驗自己已經到上軌道的程度?如果真經會自動出現,隨時隨地在情緒起伏會自動冒出來,表示已上軌道。


How can we examine ourselves are fit into the true practice? If the Five Word Sutra can come to our mind itself when necessary, this will be the key.


淨土宗修持念佛,修到佛號會自動出現,這叫做「功夫成片」是很高很難的境界,可以去問佛教徒有幾個能有這種工夫?但我們道親連小孩都很容易做到。因為我們真經是求道時彌勒祖師藉點傳師傳給我們的,是有傳承的、是彌勒祖師親傳的,所以和一般人唸佛號不同。


Pure Land School also do the reciting practice, and they will continue the practice until Buddhas names appear automatically. This is the highest and hardest result. You can go ask how many of the Buddhists can achieve this? But in our Tao group, even a child can easily accomplish it. Its because the Five Word Sutra is inherited from Maitriya Buddha by masters when we are taking the Tao. It directly comes from Maitriya Buddha, so its quite different from other Buddhas names.


今天我們請壇,有仙佛菩薩來護持我們,這是很難得的機會,我們不是自己孤孤單單在這裡修持,所有的仙佛菩薩都到壇來護持。


Today we hold a ceremony in which we invite all Buddhas and bodhisattvas. So, they will arrive here to protect and give us great blessings. This is a very unusual chance, for we are not doing the practice alone but are blessed and protected by all Buddhas and bodhisattvas.  


所以我們要利用這個機會,好好的讓今天所有的修持,在你的生命裡生根,後學的經驗,只要在法會上認真用心修這一天,一定可以生根。


Therefore, we should make good use of this opportunity to make todays practice deeply rooted in our lives. According to my experience, as long as we concentrate and make efforts in the ceremony, every practice will influence our whole life.


像上回林點傳師帶了四、五十位講師班的成員,在新店道場辦一次三寶實驗營。那幾十位回去以後都養成用三寶的習慣,後學上禮拜天到大香山去講課,顏講師來接我,他在路上就講說,他們參加以後,問起來,幾乎每一個都已經養成念真經的習慣了,不論走路的時候或是開車的時候,真經自己會出現,在腦海轉動。這就是請壇後修持力量的不同。


Last time Master Lin held a ceremony for about fifty Tao members to practice using three treasures. After that, lots of the members had been using three treasures. When I went back to their temple to give lectures, Mr. Yen told me that almost every one of those fifty members had had the habit of reciting the Five Word Sutra. No matter they are walking or driving, the Five Word Sutra will appear automatically. So, this is the great effect of doing practice in the ceremony.


人生要能夠有「道」在生命裡紮根才叫保險,比什麼都保險,像剛才講那位道親撞到人,如果沒有真經給他保險的話,不是很麻煩嗎?所以平常要養成這個習慣,才可以化災劫於無形之中。


Tao is more necessary and useful in life than other insurance. As for the female member who hit a man, she would surely get into trouble without the Five Word Sutra. Therefore, once we keep the habit of using three treasures, we can easily be protected from many disasters.


 


 


˙化劫於無形 Keeping away from calamities .


 


 


真經持念習慣以後,有種化解災劫於無形的效果。後學的經驗,以前有什麼禍事要發生的時候,內心就會驚惶,有種驚惶不安的感覺,這時候就開始不知如何是好,不久,果然禍事就發生了,後來修道開始用三寶,感覺到有禍事要發生,就趕快用三寶,用三寶禍事還是會發生,但發生時就沒有那麼嚴重,嚴重到成為災禍,但是知道它可以變成災禍那麼嚴重。


Once we are used to reciting the Five Word Sutra, it will have the effect that keeps us away from calamities. I had some experiences about this. In the past, whenever I felt uneasy or scared, there would be something bad happening but I knew nothing to do. After a while, the bad thing really happened. However, after I practice using three treasures, I will start using it when feeling uneasy. Then, something bad may still happen, but not so seriously. Only I myself know it can have been a serious one.  


到現在,只要內心驚惶不安呢!三寶自動就會出來,然後出來以後,也沒有任何事發生,就已經化於無形之中了,內心有點不對勁,就表示有災禍會發生,三寶就自然不斷的在運轉,自動會運轉,這個應該我們生命的本能就是這樣,上天賜給我們的寶啊!這個寶有不可思議的妙用,它可以保命,可以保你性命雙全。


Now, three treasures always come out automatically when I feel scared or uneasy. But nothing happens at all. This means those calamities have disappeared. Our uneasy mind gives us a hint of disasters, but three treasures can help reduce their damage. This should be the instinct of our lives. This should be the gift from heaven. Three treasures have immeasurable effects. It can save our lives. It can also save our original nature. 


不是只有後學個人有這種體驗,前面提到的撞到機車騎士的道親,他以前常出車禍,每次出車禍以前眼皮都會一直跳好幾天,那次也是事發以前眼皮就跳不停。但是這幾年修持來,還是會有眼皮跳的時候,但卻都沒有發生災禍,已經化劫於無形。


Besides me, many other members have the same experiences. The female member who hit a man also has experiences like this. Before the accident, her eyelids may have been trembling for several days. She had the same experience before that big accident. But these years, she may also have trembling eyelids; however, nothing serious happens. This means her practice has made many calamities away from her life.


 


以純陽化至隂transform yin into yang


 


    另一個我們應該持念真經的原因是:可以化解陰氣。


    Another reason for us to keep reciting the Five Word Sutra is that it can purify our yin chi.


    這是個群魔亂舞的時代,人們很喜歡求神問卜,尤其在上位的人帶頭將一些術士奉為國師,凡事求教,大至政策小至辦公室風水,言聽計從,上行下效,民間也一樣事事求神問卜,幾乎每十個成年人,至少就有二三個找過神壇。


    In this era, many incorrect ideas and evil actions prevail. So, many people like to ask fortunetellers or psycho-mediums for help. Even some leaders of the country or the society may seek these fortunetellers for advice on many things, such as their policy or even the Feng shuei of their offices. They follow these fortunetellers words, and so will the common people. It is very common for our society to seek supernatural psycho-mediums. Two or three out of ten adults may have this experience.


    後學調查過道親,幾乎人人有份,每個人都有一個或數個算命、收驚、修法…的神壇老師或師父。道親尚且如此,遑論社會上一般人。


    In our Tao group, almost everyone has the above experience. They may have at least one master in fortunetelling, pacifying the soul, or making fortune; not to mention the common people. 


    神壇、算命者…多屬陰界的勢力,當我們在那裡聽了信了,剎那間至隂的力量就鑽進我們的生命,潛伏在生命中黑暗角落。


    This kind of psycho-mediums belongs to the world of darkness(ying). When we believe them and follow their words, the dark power will swiftly enter our lives, hiding on the corner.


    這種陰氣讓我們生命中的陽氣衰竭,以民間常用的字眼就是「卡到隂的」,我們東方人因為喜歡求神問卜所以有一種特質「陰氣重」,幾乎每個人身上都有陰氣。西洋人因天主教、基督教的教誨,不可崇拜偶像,反而比較沒有陰氣,看起來比較陽剛。所謂陽剛,就是比較陽光沒有陰霾,光明一點、健康一點。


    The dark power or yin chi can exhaust the yang chi in our lives. In China , it’s called “the person is harmed by the evil power.” Therefore, we oriental people are likely to be influenced by the evil power. Almost everyone carries a little yin chi. On the other hand, westerners believe in Christian or Catholics, and they are not allowed to worship idols. So, they are not easily influenced by the evil power. They always look brighter; that is, they are brighter and healthier in mind.    


    陰氣重的後果就是心病、身病叢生。嚴重的會被陰邪干擾,甚至控制。


    The result of carrying yin chi is illnesses both mentally and physically. A more serious problem is that the person may be bothered or controlled by the evil spirits.


    有什麼症狀?臉上看起來晦暗,倒楣,臉上有黑氣,常常處於不愉快、易怒、易憂鬱,大小疾病纏身、容易撞邪見鬼…我們東方靈異事件為什麼比西方多得多?就是我們多數人都陰氣重,就容易撞見陰靈。當然晚進西方也開始巫術重現,迷信算命。所以也漸歩向陰盛陽衰之路。


    What are the symptoms of being controlled by evil spirits? The person will look darker and unluckier. He may often be in negative emotions like anger, melancholy, full of sicknesses, or he may even see ghosts. Why are there more events about ghosts in oriental than western world? That’s because most of us carry yin chi. However, nowadays, westerners start to believe in fortunetelling, psycho-mediums, or witchcrafts, so they are also following our society to be easily influenced by dark power.      修正後
