南海古佛成道紀念．辛丑

南柯一夢幾時醒 欲海滾滾何時停
海中船舟使力勁 聞聲救苦下紅塵
古道仁風啟愚迷 甘露瀟灑潤群生
佛慈濟世紅塵苦 挽救原人拜天尊

成就無上菩提果 倒駕慈航宣法音
道傳一貫溯本源 天命真傳眾歸航
紀罣群黎宏愿深 闡揚聖道展儒風
念念不離大悲心 渡眾回心脫苦輪
文武同宗悲智運 六度萬行證涅槃

南海古佛成道記念文 旧暦九月十九日 (2021/10/24)
 
南柯一夢はいつ覚めるのか　過剰な欲望への追求はいつ止めるか
苦海に迷う衆生を不憫し　助けを求める声を聞いて再び俗塵に臨んだ
古き仁風で人を迷いから覚まし　甘露を施して衆生を救い出す
古仏は慈悲深く世の苦難から人を救い　原人を救って得道させる
無上の成果を上げたものの　世に再来されて法音の宣伝に務める
道は真理を通して命の根源に遡り　天命真伝により衆生を救い出す
衆生を心に記して誓願が大きく天道を闡明して儒教の教義を広める
念頭は常に大悲心から離れず　衆生を済度して苦しみから解放させる
文武同源で　悲智を具えて　六度万行を実行して涅槃に達する

Commemoration of Nan-Hai Ancient Buddha's Attainment of Buddhahood
When do we wake up from fond dreams?
When do we stop riding the waves of desires?
She paddled hard to steer the ferry in the sea,
descended to the mundane world at the cry of the sentient beings to save them from sufferings,
awaken the ignorant with ancient Tao and winds of mercy.
The generous sweet dews nourish all lives.
The benevolent Buddha alleviates worldly sufferance,
guiding Heavenly Mater’s children to seek the Enlightened Masters.
Having achieved the supreme heavenly rank,
she steers the ferry back to this world to spread the gospel.
The great Tao is universal and brings all back to the origin.
The true heavenly mandate leads all in sailing home.
Keep every sentient being within the heart, where the great vows lie.
Propagate the holy Tao and demonstrate Confucian manners.
Every thought stems from the true mercy within.
Enlighten all to change their hearts so they may escape the pain of reincarnation.
Synchronize mercy and wisdom through words and actions.
Exercise the Six Paramitas and nirvana shall be achieved.
