| 我们人的一生中，常有病苦缠身，或有忧郁愁闷，难以自拔自慰，有人甚至会出现各种恐怖、错乱，这全是由 于心不安宁的缘故。 | In the course of human life, we are often beset by the suffering of illness or by depression and distress, unable to free or console ourselves. Some people even experience various terrors and confusions. All this is because the mind is not at peace. |
|---|---|
| 只要心安宁，心定就能生慧，慧开之 后，再来察视世上一切成败、利钝、是非、得失、富贵贫贱、生死来去，都属空幻，若能进一步作空观，则一切恼怒不生，前因后果了了分明，思想不偏，人的一切愁苦就自然消除，病痛也会自然缓解以致痊愈。 | As long as the mind is peaceful, meditative stability can give rise to wisdom. Once wisdom opens, one can examine all worldly success and failure, gain and loss, right and wrong, wealth and poverty, birth and death, coming and going, and see that they are all empty and illusory. If one further contemplates emptiness, no afflictive anger will arise; causes and results will become clearly understood, one's thoughts will not be biased, and all human sorrow and suffering will naturally disappear. Illness and pain will also naturally ease and may even be healed. |
| 以上关键全在一 个“心”字，本法即是一个修心的方法，是观世音大士救 苦救难的妙法，修此法的人，心有寄托，可以去病，可以得定力增智慧，有用于社会，有益于人类，对于学佛者， 可以通佛法、明心性，了脱未来生死轮回，种无量福田， 可以帮助人满足往生西方极乐世界的心愿。 | The key to all this lies in the single word “mind.” This Dharma is a method for cultivating the mind; it is the wondrous Dharma by which Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva relieves suffering and rescues beings from adversity. Those who practice it have something upon which to rely in their minds: it can cure illness, enable them to attain meditative stability and increase wisdom, benefit society and humankind, and enable Buddhist practitioners to comprehend the Dharma teachings, realize the nature of mind, be liberated from the future cycle of birth and death, plant immeasurable fields of merit, and help people fulfill their aspiration for rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. |
| 此法已传无数人，今特再明白开示，以利有志之士， 使未发心者，得以发心，已发心者，得以精进，已精进者， 得以修证；至于有病之人，仗观音大慈大悲之力，可以勿药而愈，其病已深邃寿缘有限者，亦可早种福田，使其 | This Dharma has already been transmitted to countless people. I now explain it clearly once again for the benefit of those with aspiration, so that those who have not yet aroused the resolve may do so, those who have aroused it may advance diligently, and those who have advanced diligently may cultivate and realize it. As for those who are ill, relying on Avalokiteśvara's great compassion, they may recover without medicine. Those whose illnesses are already grave and whose lifespan is limited may also promptly plant fields of merit, perhaps thereby averting the worst. |
| 离恶道之苦，或可挽回万一；对于一些鬼迷邪祟等夙业者亦可以因此解除；还有一些因为修持静坐不得法而病者（如 念佛伤气、外道死坐、木定“腹胀”、癫迷等），唯有此法可治。 | They may be freed from the suffering of the evil realms, or perhaps be saved from disaster. Those afflicted by past karma involving ghosts, malignant spirits, and the like may likewise be released through this practice. There are also those who become ill because they practice seated meditation incorrectly—for example, Buddha-recitation that injures the vital energy, rigid sitting in non-Buddhist practices, wooden meditative absorption causing abdominal distention, or madness and confusion. Only this Dharma can cure them. |
| 总之，人生百年弹指而过，及早觉悟回头，尚恐不及， 借此一航用渡苦海，不独自利兼可度他。 | In short, a human life of a hundred years passes in the blink of an eye. Even if one awakens and turns back early, one may still fear that it is too late. Use this single vessel to cross the sea of suffering: it benefits not only oneself but can also liberate others. |
