t47n1979 chanting sutras walking vow to be reborn in pure land dharma service eulogy.g2.0f

English

English version: Only Buddhas together can know the extent of my sins. The Sutra of Hell states: 'If there are sentient beings who commit such sins, at the time of their death, the four elements of their body will separate, and they will lie stiff and unable to move, as if being flogged. Their minds will be confused and disoriented, they will become delirious and have inverted thoughts, seeing their houses, wives, children, and everything as impure and filthy, with the stench of excrement and urine overflowing outside. At this time, the sinner will say: 'Why are there no beautiful cities and forests here for me to play in, but instead I am in such an impure and filthy place?' After saying these words, the hell-guarding Rakshasas will lift the sinner with a large iron fork, and the Avici Hell and all the forests of knives will transform into jeweled trees and cool ponds, the flames will transform into golden-leafed lotus flowers, and the iron-beaked insects will transform into ducks and geese. The sounds of pain in hell will be like singing. Upon hearing this, the sinner will think: 'I should go and play in such a good place.' As soon as this thought arises, they will sit on the fire lotus, and the various iron-beaked insects will devour their bodies from their pores. Hundreds of thousands of iron wheels will enter from the top of their heads, and countless iron forks will gouge out their eyes. The copper dogs of hell will transform into hundreds of billions of iron dogs, competing to tear apart their bodies and eat their hearts. In an instant, their bodies will be like iron flowers, filling the eighteen compartments of hell, each flower having eighty-four thousand petals, and at the tip of each petal will be the body's hands, feet, and limbs, distributed in one compartment. The hell is not large, but the body of this sinner is not small, filling the entire great hell. These sinners fall into this hell and endure for eighty-four thousand great kalpas (aeons). After the punishment of this Naraka (hell) is over, they will enter the eighteen compartments in the east, suffering as before. This Avici Hell also has eighteen compartments in the south, eighteen compartments in the west, and eighteen compartments in the north. Those who slander the Vaipulya Sutras (方等經), commit the five rebellious acts (五逆罪), destroy the Sangha (僧祇), defile Bhikshunis (比丘尼), and sever all roots of goodness (断诸善根), those sinners who have accumulated many sins, their bodies will fill the Avici Hell, and their limbs will fill the eighteen compartments. This Avici Hell only burns such beings who have created the karma of hell. When the kalpa is about to end, the east gate will open, and outside the east gate, clear springs will flow, and flower and fruit trees and forests will all appear. These sinners, seeing these scenes from the lower compartments, the flames in their eyes will temporarily cease, and they will rise from the lower compartments, crawling on their bellies, struggling to climb to the upper compartments, grasping the knife wheels with their hands, at this time, the void' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

空中雨热铁丸。走趣东门既至门阃。狱卒罗刹手捉铁叉。逆刺其眼。铁狗啮心闷绝而死。死已复生。见南门开如前不异。如是西门北门亦皆如此。如此时间经历半劫。阿鼻狱死生寒冰中。寒冰狱死生黑闇处。八千万岁目无所见。受大蛇身婉转腹行。诸情闇塞无所解知。百千狐狼牵掣食之。命终之后生畜生中。五千万身受鸟兽形。还生人中。聋盲喑哑疥癞痈疽贫穷下贱。一切诸衰以为严饰。受此贱身经五百身后。还得生饿鬼之中。如是等轮回三恶无量无边。   弟子众等今闻地狱。心惊毛竖。怖惧无量。恐畏残殃不尽复还流浪。今生已来纵暴三业。造众重罪。若不忏悔定招此苦。无有出期。今对三宝道场大众前。发露忏悔。即安乐。知而不敢覆藏。   唯愿十方三宝法界众生。发大慈悲。广大慈悲不计我恶。如草覆地。布施欢喜。受我忏悔。忆我清净。唯愿不舍慈悲摄变我等。已作之罪愿除灭。未起之罪愿不生。已作之善愿增长。未作之善方便令生。愿从今日乃至不起忍已来。誓共众生舍邪归正。发菩提心。慈心相向。佛眼相看。菩提眷属。真善知识同生净土。乃至成佛。如是等罪永断相续。更不敢覆藏。发愿已。至心归命阿弥陀佛。   下接高赞云。   愿往生愿往生。愿在弥陀佛前立。手执香华常 现代汉语译本:空中降下雨点般炽热的铁丸。当他走向东门,到达门槛时,狱卒罗刹(地狱中的恶鬼)手持铁叉,反过来刺向他的眼睛。铁狗啃噬他的心脏,他闷绝而死。死后又复活,看到南门开启,情形与之前一样。像这样,西门和北门也都是如此。如此这般,时间经历了半劫(极长的时间单位)。在阿鼻地狱(八大地狱中最苦的一个)中,他经历死亡和重生;在寒冰地狱中,他经历死亡和重生于黑暗之处。八千万年中,眼睛什么也看不见。受大蛇之身,蜿蜒腹行。各种感觉闭塞,什么也不明白。成百上千的狐狼牵扯撕咬他。命终之后,转生到畜生道中。五千万世都受鸟兽之形。还生到人中,却聋盲喑哑,身患疥癞痈疽,贫穷困苦。一切的衰败都用来装饰他。受此卑贱之身,经历五百世之后,才得以转生到饿鬼道中。像这样轮回于三恶道(地狱、饿鬼、畜生)之中,无量无边。 弟子众等今日听闻地狱之苦,心惊胆战,毛发竖立。感到无比的恐惧。恐怕过去的罪恶残余未尽,再次流浪受苦。今生以来,放纵身口意三业,造作了各种重罪。如果不忏悔,必定会招致这样的苦果,没有解脱之期。现在面对三宝(佛、法、僧)道场大众,发露忏悔。这样才能得到安乐,知道罪过而不敢隐瞒。 唯愿十方三宝(十方一切世界的佛、法、僧)和法界众生,发起大慈悲心,广大慈悲心,不要计较我的罪恶,像用草覆盖大地一样。布施欢喜,接受我的忏悔。忆念我的清净。唯愿不要舍弃慈悲,摄受改变我们。已经造作的罪业,希望能够消除灭尽;尚未生起的罪业,希望永远不要生起。已经做过的善事,希望能够增长;尚未做过的善事,方便使其生起。愿从今日起,直到证得无生法忍(对一切法不再动心)之前,誓与众生一同舍弃邪恶,归向正道。发起菩提心(觉悟之心),以慈悲心互相对待,以佛的眼光互相看待,成为菩提眷属,与真正的善知识一同往生净土,乃至最终成佛。像这样的罪业,永远断绝相续,再也不敢隐瞒。发愿完毕,至心归命阿弥陀佛。 下面接高声赞颂: 愿往生,愿往生。愿在阿弥陀佛(西方极乐世界的教主)面前站立,手执香花,常常供养。

English version: Fiery iron pellets rained down from the sky. As he walked towards the eastern gate and reached the threshold, the prison guard Rakshasa (a demon in hell), holding an iron fork, thrust it into his eyes. Iron dogs gnawed at his heart, and he fainted and died. After death, he was reborn and saw the southern gate open, the situation the same as before. Likewise, the western and northern gates were also the same. In this way, time passed for half a kalpa (an extremely long unit of time). In Avici Hell (the most painful of the eight great hells), he experienced death and rebirth; in the Ice Hell, he experienced death and rebirth in a place of darkness. For eighty million years, his eyes saw nothing. He endured the body of a great serpent, writhing and crawling on his belly. His senses were blocked, and he understood nothing. Hundreds and thousands of foxes and wolves dragged and devoured him. After his life ended, he was reborn into the animal realm. For fifty million lifetimes, he took the form of birds and beasts. Reborn as a human, he was deaf, blind, mute, afflicted with scabies, boils, and poverty. All kinds of decay adorned him. Enduring this lowly body, after five hundred lifetimes, he was able to be reborn into the realm of hungry ghosts. In this way, he transmigrated through the three evil realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals) immeasurably and boundlessly. We, the disciples, today hearing of the suffering of hell, are terrified and our hair stands on end. We feel boundless fear. We are afraid that the remaining consequences of past sins have not been exhausted, and we will wander and suffer again. Since this life, we have indulged our three karmas (body, speech, and mind), creating various heavy sins. If we do not repent, we will surely incur such suffering, with no hope of release. Now, facing the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) and the assembly in the Dharma hall, we confess and repent. Only in this way can we find peace, knowing our faults and daring not to conceal them. May the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) of the ten directions (all worlds) and all sentient beings in the Dharma realm, arouse great compassion, vast compassion, not counting my sins, like covering the earth with grass. Bestow joy, accept my repentance. Remember my purity. May you not abandon compassion, but embrace and transform us. May the sins already committed be eliminated and extinguished; may the sins not yet arisen never arise. May the good deeds already done increase; may the good deeds not yet done be facilitated to arise. May we, from this day forward, until we attain non-origination forbearance (no longer being moved by anything), vow to abandon evil and return to the right path together with all sentient beings. Arouse Bodhicitta (the mind of enlightenment), treat each other with compassion, look at each other with the eyes of the Buddha, become Bodhi relatives, and be reborn in the Pure Land together with true good teachers, and ultimately attain Buddhahood. May such sins be forever cut off from continuing, and may we never dare to conceal them again. Having made this vow, we wholeheartedly take refuge in Amitabha Buddha. The following is a loud praise: May we be reborn, may we be reborn. May we stand before Amitabha Buddha (the teaching host of the Western Pure Land), holding incense and flowers, constantly making offerings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 供养。   高接下赞云。
