English version: The one mindful of the Buddha hurries home, Late return brings mother-in-law's scold. Eight-Finger Seal Verse Initially descending from Tushita Heaven (Tushita Heaven, one of the six heavens of the desire realm in Buddhism) to the human world, First manifesting the appearance of birth in the royal palace, Nine dragons together spout fragrant water, Competing to support his body on lotus leaves. The holy Queen Maya (Queen Maya, the mother of Shakyamuni) goes to the back garden, The concubines and palace women frolic and make noise, Fish swim freely in the clear waves, worthy of appreciation and enjoyment, The color of the Ashoka flowers is most suitable for viewing. The Ashoka tree's leaves flourish, The queen leisurely strolls beneath the tree, Raising her hand to pluck the leaves from the branches, The holy Shakyamuni is born at this moment. The compassionate father Shakyamuni is born, Emerging from his mother's left side, Nine dragons sprinkle water to bathe him, Auspicious lotuses with a thousand spokes appear beneath his feet. The sage Asita (Asita, an ancient Indian hermit) tells the king, The prince possesses auspicious omens, This is no ordinary matter, In the future, he will surely become a Bodhi Dharma King (Buddha, the enlightened one). In a previous life, I formed a good relationship with Your Highness, How dare I be devoted to you alone now? On this day, Yasodhara (Yasodhara, Shakyamuni's wife) pleads again and again, The prince then takes off his ring. For a long time, he does not covet worldly glory, Tired of the deep palace life, he resolves to be a prince, Abandoning the seven treasures of the Chakravarti (Chakravarti, the wheel-turning king), He crosses the city walls at midnight, vowing to leave home. Practicing asceticism in the mountains for six years, Living with birds and beasts as companions, Enduring hunger for a long time, not eating real food, Relying only on hemp and wheat to sustain a short life. Attaining Bodhi (Bodhi, enlightenment) under the Bodhi tree, Subduing all demons, achieving perfect enlightenment, Releasing a ray of light from the summit of Vulture Peak Mountain, Turning the Wheel of Dharma (Turning the Wheel of Dharma) for the first time in Deer Park. First, he expounds the teachings of existence, benefiting sentient beings, Second, he proclaims the doctrine of emptiness, enabling people to awaken and understand, Later, he discusses the subtle Dharma on Vulture Peak Mountain, Benefiting this life and future lives, inconceivable. (This morning, I intend to expound this profound scripture. May compassion descend here, and may the audience who hear the scripture have their sins eradicated.) This place is full of sorrow. Once you reach Chengnan, you never return. Get up early in the morning to find a sandy path. Rest in the evening and seek food everywhere. Thinking of my son and mother, they should miss me for a long time. I should meet the Tathagata in the assembly. Today's merit of preaching the scriptures, may it flourish and return early. This place is a place of separation, and every night I can only hear sorrow everywhere. May I ask why I am so sad? Yesterday, a robber caught my son, and I am lonely, poor, and old. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

此。启告黄天愿照之。傥令母子重相见。由如枯树再生枝。弟子布施一索分难之时。愿平美陪儿早出来久住令贱。   此方日没西方照。莫道西沈日便无。此方入灭化余方。莫道世尊真灭度。譬如长天有月被浮云障翳不出来。身中有佛性甚分明。被业障覆藏都不现。欲长空月现先须要假细狂风。欲得身中佛性明事须勤听大乘。从才云被狂风吹散去。月影长空便出来。在听甚深微妙法。身中佛性甚分明。一沾两沾二沾雨。灭却衢中多少尘。一句两句大乘经。灭却身中多少罪。我拟请佛恐人坐。多时便拟说经。愿不愿者检心掌待。   西方还有白银台。四众听法心总开。愿闻法者合掌着。都讲经题唱将来。   温室经讲唱押座文   顶礼上方大觉尊。归命难思清净众。四智三身随众愿。慈悲丈六释迦文。百千万劫作轮王。不乐王宫恩爱事。舍命舍身千万劫。直至今身证菩提。生死海中久沉沦。不觉不知业力引。垢障消除今睹佛。光照三千世界中。毗耶离国有庵园。奈女还生奈花中。宝树枝条光色好。非凡非圣化生身。祇域还从奈女生。妙通法术救众生。能疗众病一切差。国称之宝大医王。父号祇婆慈慜贤。下针之疾立轻便。名高八国为长者。回丧起死阎浮中。祇域思念牟尼尊。明□敕家俱诣佛。直到灵山 现代汉语译本: 弟子启禀上天,希望您能照见我的心愿。如果能让母子重逢,就如同枯树重新长出枝条一样。弟子愿意布施,即使是在一索(古代的钱币单位)都难以分出的时候。愿平安美好的孩子早日出生,长久地陪伴我。 正如太阳从东方升起西方落下,但不要说太阳西沉就什么都没有了。就像世尊在此方入灭,却在其他地方化生一样,不要说世尊真的灭度了。譬如广阔的天空中有月亮,却被浮云遮蔽而无法显现。我们身中也有佛性,非常分明,却被业障覆盖而无法显现。想要长空中的月亮显现,首先需要借助细微的狂风。想要身中的佛性显明,就必须勤奋地听闻大乘佛法。等到云被狂风吹散,月亮的影子自然就会在长空中显现。在听闻甚深微妙的佛法时,身中的佛性就会非常分明。一滴两滴,两滴雨水,就能消除道路上多少尘埃。一句两句大乘经文,就能消除身中多少罪业。我本想请佛,又怕打扰大家太久,所以现在准备开始讲经。不愿听讲的人可以自己离开。 西方还有白银台(指西方极乐世界)。四众弟子听闻佛法,内心都打开了。愿意听闻佛法的人请合掌。都讲(一种佛教职务)请把经题唱出来。 《温室经》讲唱押座文 顶礼上方的大觉尊(指佛)。归命于难以思议的清净僧众。愿佛以四智(大圆镜智、平等性智、妙观察智、成所作智)和三身(法身、报身、应身)满足众生的愿望。慈悲的丈六金身释迦文佛。您在百千万劫中曾作轮王(拥有统治世界的权力的理想君王),却不贪恋王宫的恩爱之事。您舍弃生命和身体无数劫,直到今生才证得菩提(觉悟)。我们在生死之海中沉沦已久,不觉不知,被业力牵引。如今垢障消除,得以见到佛陀,佛光照耀三千世界。毗耶离国(古印度城市)有一座庵园。奈女(人名)在那里出生,如同从莲花中化生。宝树的枝条光彩夺目。她非凡非圣,是化生之身。祇域(人名)也从奈女所生,拥有神通法术,救度众生。她能治疗各种疾病,一切都能痊愈,因此被国人称为国之宝,伟大的医王。她的父亲名叫祇婆(人名),慈悲贤能,下针治病,立刻就能减轻病痛。他的名声响彻八国,被尊为长者。他能起死回生。祇域思念着牟尼尊(指释迦牟尼佛),于是命令全家一同前往佛陀所在的地方,一直来到灵山(指佛陀说法的地方)。

English version: I, your disciple, beseech the heavens to witness my wish. If mother and child can be reunited, it would be like a withered tree sprouting new branches. I am willing to give alms, even when it is difficult to spare a single 'suo' (an ancient unit of currency). May the peaceful and wonderful child be born soon and stay with me for a long time. Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, do not say that when the sun sets in the west, there is nothing left. Just as the World-Honored One enters Nirvana here but is reborn elsewhere, do not say that the World-Honored One has truly passed away. For example, in the vast sky, there is a moon, but it is obscured by floating clouds and cannot appear. We also have Buddha-nature within us, very clear, but it is covered by karmic obstacles and cannot manifest. If you want the moon in the vast sky to appear, you must first rely on a gentle breeze. If you want the Buddha-nature within you to become clear, you must diligently listen to the Mahayana Dharma. When the clouds are blown away by the wind, the moon's shadow will naturally appear in the vast sky. When listening to the profound and subtle Dharma, the Buddha-nature within you will become very clear. A drop or two, two drops of rain, can eliminate much dust on the road. A sentence or two of the Mahayana Sutra can eliminate much sin within you. I originally intended to invite the Buddha, but I was afraid of disturbing everyone for too long, so I am now preparing to begin the sutra lecture. Those who do not wish to listen may leave on their own. In the West, there is also a silver platform (referring to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss). The fourfold assembly listens to the Dharma, and their hearts are all opened. Those who wish to hear the Dharma, please join your palms. The 'dujiang' (a Buddhist position) please chant the title of the sutra. The 'Wen Shi Jing' (Sutra of the Hot House) Lecture Seating Text I prostrate before the Great Awakened One (referring to the Buddha) above. I take refuge in the inconceivable pure Sangha. May the Buddha fulfill the wishes of all beings with the Four Wisdoms (Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom, Equality Wisdom, Wonderful Observing Wisdom, Accomplishing Wisdom) and the Three Bodies (Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, Nirmanakaya). The compassionate Shakyamuni Buddha with the sixteen-foot golden body. You were a Wheel-Turning King (an ideal monarch with the power to rule the world) for hundreds of millions of kalpas, but you did not covet the love affairs of the royal palace. You gave up your life and body for countless kalpas, until you attained Bodhi (enlightenment) in this life. We have been sinking in the sea of birth and death for a long time, unknowingly, led by the power of karma. Now that the defilements have been removed, we can see the Buddha, and the Buddha's light shines throughout the three thousand worlds. In the city of Vaisali (an ancient Indian city), there is a garden. Nai Nu (a person's name) was born there, like being born from a lotus flower. The branches of the precious tree are radiant and beautiful. She is neither ordinary nor holy, but a manifested being. Jivaka (a person's name) was also born from Nai Nu, possessing supernatural powers and saving sentient beings. She can cure all kinds of diseases, and everything can be healed, so she is called the treasure of the country, the great physician. Her father's name is Jiva (a person's name), compassionate and virtuous, and he can relieve pain immediately by applying needles to treat diseases. His reputation resounds throughout the eight countries, and he is revered as an elder. He can bring the dead back to life. Jivaka thought of Muni (referring to Shakyamuni Buddha), so he ordered his whole family to go to where the Buddha was, and they came all the way to Ling Shan (referring to the place where the Buddha preached). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

法会上。请佛沐浴及凡僧。佛说七物各有功。不□祈愿浴法身。香汤能净凡圣众。功德无量满愿中。今晨拟说甚深文。唯愿慈悲来至此。听众闻经罪消灭。总证菩提法宝身。阎浮浊恶实堪悲。老病终朝长似醉。已舍喧求出离。端坐听经能不能。能者虔恭合掌着。经题名字唱将来。 现代汉语译本: 在法会上,请佛陀沐浴以及所有僧侣。佛陀说七种物品各有其功用,不仅仅是祈愿洗浴佛的法身(Dharmakaya)。香汤能够净化凡人和圣人,功德无量,满足愿望。今天早上准备宣说甚深的文章,只愿慈悲降临此处。听众听闻佛经,罪业消灭,最终证得菩提,成就法宝之身。阎浮提(Jambudvipa,指我们所居住的这个世界)的污浊和罪恶实在令人悲哀,衰老和疾病整日缠绕,长久如同醉酒一般。已经舍弃喧嚣,寻求出离。端坐听经,能不能做到?能做到的人虔诚恭敬地合掌。将经题的名字唱出来吧。

English

English version: At the Dharma assembly, we invite the Buddha to bathe, as well as all the Sangha (monks). The Buddha said that the seven items each have their own merit, not only praying to bathe the Dharmakaya (body of the Dharma) of the Buddha. Fragrant soup can purify both ordinary beings and sages, with immeasurable merit, fulfilling wishes. This morning, we intend to speak of profound texts, only wishing that compassion will come here. Listeners who hear the sutras will have their sins eradicated, and ultimately attain Bodhi (enlightenment), accomplishing the Dharma-treasure body. The turbidity and evil of Jambudvipa (the world we live in) are truly pitiable; old age and sickness entangle us all day long, constantly like being drunk. Having already abandoned the noise and seeking liberation, can we sit upright and listen to the sutras? Those who can, reverently and respectfully join their palms. Let the name of the sutra be chanted. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
