圓滿十禅七

　　The Completion of Ten Weeks of Chan

　　不管往昔如何，只要我們從今以後，改頭換面，重新做人，就可以了。

　　From now on, all we need to do is to become new people, to put on new faces, and to start fresh.

　　今日圓滿十禅七，

　　改頭換面發菩提；

　　常握金剛智慧劍，

　　縱橫南北與東西。

　　Today we complete ten weeks of Chan.

　　Putting on a new face, we make the Bodhi resolve.

　　Always wield the Vajra sword of wisdom.

　　Up and down, north, south, east and west.

　　今天是十個禅七圓滿日。不管往昔如何，只要我們從今以後，重新做人，改頭換面，重頭再練，跟以前的貪心鬼完全不同，就可以了。我們不要像以前一樣，盡在人我是非上用功夫，而要發大菩提心。

　　This is the last day of the ten-week Chan session. No matter how we were in the past, from now on, all we need to do is to become new people, to put on new faces, and to start fresh, being totally different from the greedy ghosts of the past. Instead of always discriminating between self and others and rights and wrongs as we did in the past, let”s make a great Bodhi resolve.

　　要常握著金剛王智慧寶劍，不要愚癡；不愚癡就不會做顛倒事。爲什麼顛倒？因爲愚癡無明，昏昧幽暗。應該時時拿著金剛智慧劍，縱橫南北與東西，遨遊天下，願意到那裏就到那裏，也就是無人無我，無拘無束，大自在無是無非的境界。

　　We should constantly wield the Vajra King”s Jeweled Sword of Wisdom, and get rid of stupidity. If we weren”t stupid, we wouldn”t do upside-down things. Why are we upside-down

　　 It”s because of stupidity, ignorance, and dark confusion. We should always grasp the Vajra Sword of Wisdom, roaming upwards, downwards, to the north, south, east, or west, throughout the world, going wherever we please. That”s the state of great freedom in which there is no self and no others, no restrictions, and no rights or wrongs.
