A prayer to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
佛光山 星雲法師 著作 Fo Guang Shan Hsing Yun
慈悲偉大的佛陀!請您救苦救難,
Oh great ,compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva !
慈悲地垂聽弟子的發露懺悔:
Please listen compassionately to your disciple's confession and repentance :
我自懂事以來,
Since I have come to know human affairs ,
總覺得生命不很安穩;
I always feel that life is not peaceful ;
我在世間生活,常感到事情不很適意;
I often feel that circumstances are not agreeable;
我對親朋好友,Towards relatives and good friends ,
缺乏照顧幫忙;I am not considerate or helpful enough ;
我對社會大眾,Towards society and the masses,
不能周遍圓融。I lack skillful means to bring harmony to all people
慈悲偉大的觀世音菩薩!
Oh great , compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva !
每當我仰望您的慈容時,
Whenever I look up at your compassionate image ,
我的心靈才感到清涼自在;
My mind indeed feels pure and at ease ;
每當我稱念您的聖號時,
Whenever I chant your name,
我的精神才得到解脫舒暢。
My spirit indeed feels comfortable , and I myself feel free from worldly worries ,
面對聖潔的您,我感到好慚愧啊!
Facing you who are dignified and immaculate , I feel so ashamed !
和您的遍灑甘露,
In comparison to your sprinkling sweet dew all over
普利人天比起來,
To universally benefit humans and devas :
您如海洋,我似井水;
You are like an ocean ; I am like well water
您如日月,我似螢光;
You are like the sun and the moon; I am like a firefly ;
您如山岳,我似丘陵;
You are like mountains ; I am like a mole hill ;
您如獅王,我似小鼠。
You are like a lion king ; I am like a small mouse
慈悲偉大的觀世音菩薩!
Oh great , compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva !
您累劫勤苦,還要倒駕慈航;
Over many kalpas, you have worked diligently in defiance of hardships ,and still want to return to the world to liberate all sentient beings .
您難行能行,還要尋聲救苦。
You have done what is difficult for people to do , and still want to follow the world's cries to relieve its suffering .
我何人也? Who am I ?
我何不能!Why can't I do the same ?
慈悲偉大的觀世音菩薩!
Oh great ,compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva !
祈求您以弘誓攝我,
I pray to you to guide me with your universal vows .
祈求您以悲願度我。
I pray to you to enlighten me with your compassionate vows .
讓我能擁有您的無畏圓通,
May I have your fearless penetration of the nature of all things through wisdom :
我若向惡人,惡人自感化;
If I face people of vices , they will be transformed ;
我若向暴徒,瞋怒自息滅;
If I face villains , their anger will be cooled .
我若向魔外,邪心自調伏;
If I face evil, the evil mind will be brought under control .
我若向愚癡,當得大智慧。
If I face the ignorant , they will obtain great wisdom .
慈悲偉大的觀世音菩薩!
Oh great ,compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva !
祈求您以慈雲覆我,
I pray to you to shelter me in your compassionate cloud ;
我要學習您利濟群生的精神,
I would like to learn your spirit of benefiting and relieving all beings :
用慈眼觀察眾生的需求,
To observe the needs of all beings through compassionate eyes;
用耳朵傾聽眾生的痛苦,
To listen to the suffering of all beings with attentive ears ;
用美言安慰眾生的煩憂,
To comfort the vexations and anxiety of all beings with wonderful words ;
用雙手撫平眾生的創傷。
To soothe the wounds of all beings with both hands .
慈悲偉大的觀世音菩薩!
Oh great compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva !
祈求您以智光照我,
I pray to you to illuminate us with your light of wisdom :
我要用喜捨攝取眾生,
I will assist all beings through joyous beings ;
我要用同事化導頑強,
I will convert and guide the stubborn into the Truth by cooperating with and adapting to them ;
我要用利行給人方便,
I will provide people with convenience through beneficial conduct ;
我要用愛語助人歡喜。
I will help people to be happy through loving words .
慈悲偉大的觀世音菩薩!
Oh great compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva !
我要以您的解脫自在為榜樣,I would like to take your liberation and ease as a model !
從今以後,From now on :
我要遠離顛倒妄想,
I will distance myself from contray and delusive ideas
觀人自在;To contemplate the ease of the individual ;
我要遠離分別臆測,
I will distance myself from discrimination and personal conjecture
觀境自在;To contemplate the ease of circumstances

我要遠離五欲塵勞,I will distance myselffrom five desires and the trouble of the world
觀心自在。To contemplate the ease of the mind .
