法法皆通念觀音

　　Penetrate Every Dharma: Recite the Name of Guanyin Bodhisattva

　　無論什麼法門，只要你有忍耐心，都會有所成就。

　　As long as you have patience, you”ll succeed at whatever Dharma-door you practice.

　　從無量劫以來，生了又死，死了又生，經過有百千萬劫這麼長的時間，也沒有遇到過觀音法會，所以我們的習氣毛病絲毫沒有減少，而無明煩惱一天比一天多。現在既能遇到觀世音菩薩法會，這也可以說是在無量劫以前所種的善根，到今天才成熟，所以才能參加這樣微妙不可思議的法會。如果你沒有善根，沒有德行，是沒有機會讓你打觀音七的，所以要珍惜這七天的寶貴時間，不要打妄想，虛度光陰。如果盡打妄想，雖然參加這個法會，也等于沒有參加一樣，因爲你不會得到什麼好處。

　　From beginningless eons in the past, we have died and been reborn, over and over, passing through hundreds of thousands of myriads of eons. During all this time, we”ve never encountered a Guanyin Bodhisattva Dharma Session, so our bad habits and faults have not decreased by the slightest bit. In fact, our ignorance and afflictions have increased day by day. Now that we”ve encountered a Guanyin Bodhisattva Dharma Session, we might say that the roots of goodness we”ve planted throughout measureless eons in the past have matured, enabling us to join this wonderful and inconceivable Dharma session. Someone who lacked these roots of goodness, who has no virtuous practices, would never have the chance to attend a Guanyin Recitation Session. Since this is the case, we must cherish every minute of these seven days. Don”t indulge in idle thinking, or let the time pass in vain. If all you do is indulge in idle thinking, then even though you may take part in this Dharma session, it”s just as if you hadn”t come at all, because you won”t gain any advantages whatsoever.

　　雖然這法會才開始兩天，可是我知道有人已經見到菩薩、見到光……，有種種不可思議的境界現前；又有人將要開五眼。所以沒有得到好處的人，應該生大慚愧；不要以爲自己沒有得到好處，其他人也是這樣子，不是的。

　　Although this Dharma session began only two days ago, I know that some people have already seen the Bodhisattva, and other people have seen lights. A variety of inconceivable states have occurred. Some people are on the verge of opening their five spiritual eyes. People who haven”t gained any advantages should feel deeply ashamed. Don”t assume that just because you haven”t experienced any benefits, the same goes for everyone else. That”s not the case.

　　金山聖寺也可以說是沙裏澄金的工廠，誰想要真修行，就不能離開金山聖寺。離開金山聖寺，想再找修行的地方，就不容易找了。金山聖寺的人，都是有道心的修行人，縱使在極度艱難困苦的環境，也要用功修行。

　　Gold Mountain Monastery, you might say, is a gold refinery. Whoever wants to cultivate should not leave Gold Mountain Monastery. If you want to find another Way-place in which to cultivate, it may not be so easy. Cultivators at Gold Mountain Monastery have a "mind" for the Path. Even though they are in an environment where conditions are extremely difficult, they still want to cultivate hard.

　　修道的法門，有八萬四千那麼多種。每一種法，你都要明白一點，不要單單知道一種而已。你若能每一種法門都知道一點，久而久之，就能把所有的法門都明白了。

　　There are as many as eighty-four thousand Dharma-doors for cultivating the Path. You should be familiar with each one of these Dharma-doors. It shouldn”t be the case that you only know a single method of cultivation. If you know something about the cultivation of each Dharma-door, then over time you”ll understand all the myriad Dharma-doors.

　　單單只明白一個法門，就不容易體會佛法深如大海的境界。就好像愚人「以管窺天」，還以爲天只有管口那麼大而已。你要是不用竹管子，你看看天究竟有多大！所以學佛，不要單單知道一種法門，應該法法皆通，法法皆明。

　　But if you only understand one Dharma-door of cultivation, then it won”t be easy for you to experience the state of the Buddhadharma, which is as deep as the sea. You”ll be like a foolish person who peers at the sky through a tube and assumes the sky is no bigger than the little circle of light he sees at the end of his tube. If he doesn”t use his bamboo tube, then he can see how vast the sky really is. So we who cultivate the Buddhadharma should not know how to practice only one method, we should penetrate every Dharma and understand every kind of practice.

　　現在我們打觀音七，這是佛法的一部分。你如果沒有修過這個法，就一定要來試驗一次，不要沒有試驗，就不修了。如果能圓滿打完這七天，對你身心一定有好處。諸位千萬不要當面錯過，失之交臂！

　　Now we”re reciting the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is a part of the Buddhadharma. If you”ve ne…
