December 2024 Vajra Bodhi Sea 11The %u015a%u016bra%u1e45gama Mantra with Verse and Commentary%u695e%u56b4%u5492%u53e5%u5048%u758f%u89e3Commentary by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua English Translated by the International Translation InstituteRevised by Bhikshuni Jin Zheng%u5ba3%u5316%u4e0a%u4eba%u8b1b%u89e3%u570b%u969b%u8b6f%u7d93%u5b78%u9662%u8a18%u9304%u7ffb%u8b6f%u6bd4%u4e18%u5c3c%u8fd1%u8b49 %u6821%u8a02Explanation:At the time when the %u015a%u016bra%u1e45gama Mantra was spoken, it was several thousand years ago. While the explanation of the mantra came much later, the time to truly listen to the %u015a%u016bra%u1e45gama Mantra is now. This moment is neither in the past nor the future. The past has already gone, and the future has not yet arrived. Someone might ask, %u201cIsn%u2019t now just now?%u201d But the present doesn%u2019t stand still. As soon as you say, %u201cThis is the present,%u201d that moment has already passed. And when you say, %u201cThis is the present%u201d again, that moment has also slipped away. In this way, the present doesn%u2019t truly exist. Why do I say this? Because the past is beyond reach, the present cannot be grasped, and the future is unattainable. These three%u2014past, present, and future%u2014cannot be held onto. So what remains? Only the %u015a%u016bra%u1e45gama Mantra. The %u015a%u016bra%u1e45gama Mantra is something tangible, something that can truly be obtained. The title %u201cWorld Honored One%u201d refers to the one revered both within and beyond the world. No one is more esteemed, and no one is more supreme. The World Honored One is the Buddha. What was the Buddha doing at that time?From his flesh mound at the crown of his head released a hundredjeweled light, and a thousand petalled rare lotus arose from the midst At that time, the World Honored One from the flesh mound at the crown of his head released a hundred-jeweled light, and a thousand petalled rare lotus arose from the midst of the light. Seated within the precious flower was a transformation body of the Thus Come One, whose crown, in turn, emitted ten rays of the hundred-jeweled effluence. %u723e%u6642%u4e16%u5c0a%uff0c%u5f9e%u8089%u9afb%u4e2d%uff0c%u6d8c%u767e%u5bf6%u5149%uff0c%u5149%u4e2d%u6d8c%u51fa%u5343%u8449%u5bf6%u84ee%uff0c%u6709%u5316%u5982%u4f86%u5750%u5bf6%u83ef%u4e2d%uff0c%u9802%u653e%u5341%u9053%u767e%u5bf6%u5149%u660e%u3002%u3010%u767d%u8a71%u89e3%u3011%uff1a%u300c%u723e%u6642%u4e16%u5c0a%u300d%uff1a%u300c%u723e%u6642%u300d%uff0c%u5c31%u662f%u7576%u6642%u8aaa%u3008%u695e%u56b4%u5492%u3009%u7684%u6642%u5019%uff0c%u53c8%u662f%u73fe%u5728%u8b1b%u9019%u500b%u3008%u695e%u56b4%u5492%u3009%u7684%u6642%u5019%u3002%u4f5b%u5728%u8aaa%u3008%u695e%u56b4%u5492%u3009%u7684%u6642%u5019%uff0c%u662f%u5e7e%u5343%u5e74%u4ee5%u524d%uff1b%u90a3%u9ebc%uff0c%u6211%u8b1b%u3008%u695e%u56b4%u5492%u3009%u7684%u6642%u5019%uff0c%u662f%u5e7e%u5343%u5e74%u4ee5%u5f8c%uff1b%u4f60%u5011%u807d%u3008%u695e%u56b4%u5492%u3009%u7684%u6642%u5019%uff0c%u5c31%u662f%u73fe%u5728%uff0c%u4e0d%u662f%u904e%u53bb%uff0c%u4e5f%u4e0d%u662f%u672a%u4f86%u3002%u70ba%u4ec0%u9ebc%uff1f%u904e%u53bb%u7684%u5df2%u904e%u53bb%u4e86%uff0c%u672a%u4f86%u9084%u6c92%u6709%u5230%uff0c%u81f3%u65bc%u8aaa%u73fe%u5728%uff0c%u73fe%u5728%u4e5f%u6c92%u6709%u4e86%uff0c%u73fe%u5728%u662f%u4e0d%u505c%u7684%u3002%u4f60%u8aaa%u9019%u500b%u662f%u73fe%u5728%uff0c%u9019%u500b%u53c8%u904e%u53bb%u4e86%uff1b%u73fe%u5728%u4e5f%u4e0d%u5b58%u5728%u4e86%uff0c%u9019%u500b%u53c8%u904e%u53bb%u4e86%u3002%u70ba%u4ec0%u9ebc%u9019%u6a23%u8aaa%u5462%uff1f%u9019%u5c31%u662f%uff1a%u904e%u53bb%u5fc3%u4e0d%u53ef%u5f97%uff0c%u73fe%u5728%u5fc3%u4e0d%u53ef%u5f97%uff0c%u672a%u4f86%u5fc3%u4e5f%u4e0d%u53ef%u5f97%uff0c%u4e09%u5fc3%u4e86%u4e0d%u53ef%u5f97%u3002%u90a3%u4ec0%u9ebc%u662f%u53ef%u5f97%u5462%uff1f%u53ea%u6709%u9019%u500b%u3008%u695e%u56b4%u5492%u3009%u662f%u53ef%u5f97%u7684%u3002%u6b63%u6cd5%u5370PROPER DHARMA SEAL
