Commemoration of Nan-Hai Ancient Buddha’s Receiving of Tao
19th Day of the Sixth Lunar Month

Throughout these endless years, every thought has been of sentient beings.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva, one with a compassionate heart and merciful vows.
From eons ago until now, her mercy has led to her attainment of the heavenly title: Zheng Fa Ming Ru Lai (Right Dharma Lights the True Self).
She has now arrived again on Earth with a great vow to steer the holy vessel,
sprinkling dharmic dews and rain to clean our bodies, souls, and countless troubling thoughts.
Lotuses are blooming everywhere, for the Heavenly Tao is spreading to every corner of the world.
 
Merciful Exhortation from Nan-Hai Ancient Buddha

Bodhisattvas’ hearts are holy; thus, they are willing to give up luxury and fame, devoting wholeheartedly throughout the grueling journey, every day and night.

Bodhisattvas’ vows are merciful; thus, they spread the dharma to benefit all by carrying the great responsibility of the Great Salvation, returning those with affinity to the holy team, regardless of nationality.

Bodhisattvas’ practices are selfless; thus, they travel to every city and countryside, salvaging those who cry out in agony, giving their all without asking for compensation.

Bodhisattvas’ paths are noble; thus, they board sentient beings onto the sailing dharma boat, helping them transcend the cycle of life and death, cultivate both fortune and wisdom, and avoid the reincarnation cycle.

南海古仏得道記念 旧暦六月十九日
いくら時が流れても、衆生を救う思いは変わらず、
観音菩薩は大慈大悲である。
久遠劫から正法明如來の位に達し、
この度、衆生を済度する為に再来された。
甘露と法雨を用いて衆生の心身を浄化し、
道を普及させて世界の各地に広めていく。

南海古佛のご慈悲：
菩薩は聖潔な心を持ち、世間の栄華と名位を未練せず、
衆生を済度する為に、昼夜を問わず、山を越え、川を渡る。
菩薩の大願は慈悲であり、弘法利生で重任を背負い、
三曹普渡は、国を問わず、縁ある方を救う。
菩薩の行いは無我であり、都会から田舎まで遍く歩き、
必要とする人を援助し、一生を捧げて、お返しを求めない。
菩薩の教えは貴重であり、法の舟を備えて衆生を救い、
得道し、福と知恵を共に修めれば、将来輪廻はしない。
