by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua
Preface
前言
Originally I came to this land To transmit Dharma and save deluded beings. One flower, blooming with five petals,Will bear fruit naturally.
我本來茲土 傳法度迷情
一華開五葉 結果自然成
I have often told you that when Patriarch Bodhidharma first went to China, he found it truly difficult to convert the Chinese people.
我常對你們講，達摩祖師到中國時，那真是啊！很不容易教化中國人。
