海濤法師 慈悲語錄 中英對照

海濤法師慈悲語錄中英對照_011

布施是一種付出，而付出首要在發心。一種利他的發心，在付出的當下，心中自然清涼、法喜、快樂，當下便猶如身在淨土。
——海濤法師

Almsgiving is a contribution.
And contribution must come from our heart!

While helping with our heart, and giving with our hands, we recover the joy of kindness, compassion, and Buddha dharma that make us feel that we are living in a purified world.

-- Master Hai Tao

(英譯／紐約 Corinne)

布施就是累積福德資糧。福德是我們過去種的因，現在的果報成熟了。
善法福德果報現行，做任何事皆有助緣，也容易成就。
——海濤法師

The act of giving accumulates merit and increases provisions for practice. Merits which have been planted as cause in the past matures into present results. The materialized result of good actions and meritorious virtues provide a boost to all deeds and cause them to become easily accomplished.
--Venerable Master Hai Tao

(英譯／舊金山Phoebe)

海濤法師慈悲語錄中英對照_009

「忍辱多福」，所有的福都是在這個「忍」字。

六祖大師曰：一切福田，不離方寸。

我們要修福，不只是佈施錢財，能運用這顆心，

放下一切不必要的煩惱，不與人爭執，福德自然無量。

－－海濤法師

"Patience is a virtue and it is the spring to plentiful bliss." For total bliss rests on the word, patience. 

"Total bliss shadows where the heart is", words of Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism in China. 

Bringing about bliss is not only limited to giving financial donations, by attending oneself deep at heart, letting go needless worries, and forgoing upsets and fights, one stands to raise infinite bliss and moral strength.

戒殺吃素，不再吃眾生的肉，
不再與眾生結血海深仇，不再造新的殺債。
「因為瞭解，所以慈悲」，
趕快發願戒殺吃素，會有福報，會有好報！！
——海濤法師

Become vegetarian, not killing or eating the meat of sentient beings. Vegetarians no longer have a blood feud with sentient beings, and are no longer burdened by new debts of killing.
"Compassion arises from understanding".
Hurry and make the vows not to kill, to be vegetarian. Merit and good rewards await!

--Venerable Master Hai Tao
(英譯／舊金山Phoebe)

佛教徒的事業，對內就是指唸佛、戒殺、懺悔、茹素；
對外就是指護生、印經、教育與弘法。
如此才是佛弟子們應持的家業與事業！
——海濤法師

Of the buddhist endeavors, on self disciplines, one is to recite buddha's name, to cause no death, to repent one's behaviors, words and wrongful intentions and to follow buddhist vegan diet. To the society, one is to care for all life forms, to reprint sutras for free distribution, to educate for kindness and compassion and to promote dharma's teaching.

Buddhist students shall endeavor as such at home and at work.

發菩提心最基本要從嘴巴作起，廚房不要變成屠宰場，冰箱不要變成殯儀館，餐桌不要變成殺戮戰場，肚子不要變成動物的墳墓，以大悲心吃素，就是人我一體的實踐。

——海濤法師

The basic step towards developing Bodhicitta should begin with the mouth by preventing kitchens from turning into slaughterhouses, refrigerators into mortuaries, dining tables into battlefields, and stomachs into animal cemeteries. Becoming vegetarian with a compassionate motivation is fulfilling the practice of oneness with others.

--Venerable Master Hai Tao

(英譯／舊金山Phoebe)

海濤法師慈悲語錄中英對照_005

每一尊佛及其名號，都象徵我們凡夫最完美的那一面；當我們向佛陀虔誠禮拜時，就是代表我們降伏自己的傲慢、慾望與無明，透過禮拜來降伏我們的煩惱心，進而使我們的佛性顯現。

成佛的目的，就是為了利益眾生。

——海濤法師

In Buddhism, there is significant connotation to the unique name and imagery associated with each Buddha. Each projects a particular aspect of perfection aspired by man.

In bowing down to the Buddha, one enters into a state of mindfulness away from untamed ego, endless desires and blind ignorance. This tribute to the Buddha, when exercised, is to address our afflictions so as to return us to the true state of bodhisattva. 

As a buddhist, one shall aim to promote the well-being of all others whilst in pursuit of attaining buddhahood.

——Buddhism Brief by Master Hai Tao
(English Translation by Shariff Kan　英譯/紐約 干學治 居士)

遭逢困難時，不要覺得挫折，而應該想到菩薩是自願、歡歡喜喜地做最辛苦的事。
——海濤法師

Don't feel discouraged when faced with difficulties. Instead, think of the bodhisattvas that are willingly and joyously doing the most tiresome deeds.

--Venerable Master Hai Tao

(英譯／舊金山Phoebe)

海濤法師慈悲語錄中英對照_003

所有我們所造的善業，我們都應該迴向，我們都應該祈求，迴向：以我們所造這個善業，成為能夠成辦利益一切有情的因。

——海濤法師

What we perform for good karma should be dedicated to all sentient beings.
We should pray and contribute --let all our good karma be the source of benefit for all sentient beings.

-- Master Hai Tao
（英譯/紐約 Corinne)

以利益其他眾生的願望作為起始，這是從事任何修行法門的圓滿前行，也是確保修行獲致成果，不會被逆緣和障礙的洪流襲捲而去的善巧方便。

——海濤法師

Starting with a vow to benefit other living beings is the perfect preliminary practice to any method of cultivation. This also guarantees benefits from cultivation, becoming a skillful means to prevent a flood of counter affinities and obstructions from sweeping through.

--Venerable Master Hai Tao

（英譯/舊金山 Phoebe)

海濤法師慈悲語錄中英對照_001

「殺業太重」會斷菩提根，易與佛法解脫之道絕緣；

相反的，由吃葷改為吃素的人，會發覺心情的改善，由低沉改為喜氣洋洋。

原因很簡單，動物的冤魂不再來討債。

——海濤法師

Having too much karma of killing will destroy the roots for Bodhi and cause divergence from the Buddhist path of liberation. 

Conversely, as one switches from eating meat to being vegetarian, one discovers an improvement in mood from depression to joyfulness. 

The reason is simple; animal spirits are no longer seeking for debts to be repaid.

--Venerable Master Hai Tao
