在不久的將來我將離去
因為形體的色衰對一個人不具什麼意義
我的心存在於書的一頁一頁之間
那就是貢獻給大家的真諦
In the not-too-distant future I will depart
For the fading of the body holds little meaning for a person
My heart lives between the pages of the books
That is the truth I offer to all
書就是留下者
記載著往昔
這個人有多少的災劫
多少暴風雨
但寫書與修法的精神需要學習
The book is what remains
Recording the past
How many trials this person has endured
How many storms
But the spirit of writing and of practice — that is what must be learned
書裡面有著靈氣
像華蓋一樣的守護著行者
只要打開書
就產生了法力
Within the book there is a living spirit
Guarding the practitioner like a canopy of light
The moment you open it
Dharma power arises
我總希望度眾生沒有剩餘
承載大家的法船
划進了寧靜的摩訶雙蓮池
一切都美好
沒有風
沒有雨
I always hope to deliver all sentient beings without remainder
The Dharma vessel carrying everyone
Glides into the tranquil Maha Twin Lotus Pond
All is beautiful
No wind
No rain
假如你發現有人沒讀過我的書
請將書獻給他們
我不區別弟子與他人
其實眾生也就是自己
If you find someone who has not read my books
Please offer the books to them
I make no distinction between disciples and others
For in truth, all sentient beings are oneself
佛滅後,五百大阿羅漢相聚一處,將佛陀過去所說的法,三次結合集成佛教的三藏經典。我想,我這一世,唯有「寫作」及「修法」,還有一點點的「說法」。這些書就代表了我的心意,就算廣結善緣了。
After the passing of the Buddha, five hundred great Arahants gathered together and compiled everything the Buddha had ever taught — through three great councils — into the Three Baskets of the Buddhist canon. I think that in this lifetime, all I have done is "writing" and "practising the Dharma," with just a little "teaching of the Dharma." These books represent my heart's intention — and may they serve as a wide planting of seeds of virtue with all.
