I haven”t witnessed it yet. I”m going to Japan on the fourteenth, so maybe I”ll look him up. A long time ago he also wanted to see me, so when I visit him we can exchange ideas.
那麼《楞嚴經》和〈楞嚴咒〉這個重要性，是沒有法子能說得完的，盡未來際也說不完它的這種妙用，所以說不可思議。我今天再用我誠誠實實的這種心，來向你們各位坦坦白白地說一說這個〈楞嚴咒〉的妙用。過去我在東北的時候，每逢遇著人有病，我就一定要令他的病好。我以什麼力量來令一切的人病好？就是這個〈楞嚴咒〉的力量。
The importance of the Shurangama Sutra and the Shurangama Mantra is beyond words. Even if I were to speak to the end of time, it would be impossible to completely describe its wonderful effects. It is inconceivable. Today I”m using a very honest mind to candidly tell all of you about the wonderful effects of the Shurangama Mantra. When I was in Manchuria, whenever I met people who were sick, I was determined to cure their illness. What power did I use to cure sick people
The power of the Shurangama Mantra.
這個〈楞嚴咒〉其中有五部，東方是阿閦佛，阿閦佛就是金剛部；南方是寶生佛，就是寶生部；中央是佛部；西方是蓮華部；北方是羯磨部。這五部就是管理這個世界五方的五大魔軍，所以你一誦〈楞嚴咒〉，這五方的五大魔軍他都俯首低頭，那麼老老實實地不敢違犯〈楞嚴咒〉的這種威力。
The Shurangama Mantra contains five pisions: In the East is the Vajra Division, hosted by Akshobhya Buddha; in the south, the Jewel-creating Division, hosted by Creation of Jewels (Ratnasambhava) Buddha; in the center, the Buddha Division, hosted by Vairochana Buddha; in the West, the Lotus Division, hosted by Amitabha Buddha; in the North, the Karma Division, hosted by Accomplishment (Amoghasiddhi) Buddha. These five pisions control the vast demon armies of the five directions. When you recite the Shurangama Mantra, the soldiers of the five demon armies will lower their heads in obedience. They will behave themselves and will not dare to oppose the awesome power of the Shurangama Mantra.
〈楞嚴咒〉上，又有「息災法」：你一誦這個〈楞嚴咒〉，一切的災難都沒有了。有「降伏法」：就是無論你是什麼天魔外道，一誦〈楞嚴咒〉，就把這個魔的法力都給破了，把他就降伏了。又有「增益法」：你譬如修道，能增益你的智慧，增益你的菩提心，增益你這個願力，一切一切都會增加，這是增益法。有「成就法」：一誦這個〈楞嚴咒〉，你修什麼法門都會成就的，這又是一種。又有一種「鈎召法」：就是遇著天魔外道，你想要把他抓來的時候──舉個例子，就像世間的警察，到那兒把那個犯罪的人抓來了；這鈎召法也就是無論是天魔也好，外道也好，你想要把他抓來，這一切的護法善神、天龍八部、八萬四千金剛藏菩薩即刻就會把他抓來，這是鈎召法。
In the Shurangama Mantra, there is a Dharma for Quelling Calamities. When you recite the mantra, all disasters and misfortunes will disappear. There is also a Dharma for Subduing. No matter what kind of demons from the heavens or heretics you encounter, when you recite the Shurangama Mantra, you will destroy the power of the demons and subdue them. There is a Dharma that Increases Benefits. When you are cultivating the Way, this dharma will help you increase your wisdom, your resolve for Bodhi, and the power of your vows; it can increase everything. This is called the Dharma that Increases Benefits. There is an Accomplishment Dharma. When you recite the Shurangama Mantra, no matter what Dharma-door you practice, you will accomplish it. There is another dharma called the Hooking and Summoning Dharma. This dharma is to be employed when you encounter demons from the heavens and heretics and you want to seize them, just as the policemen in our society catch criminals. When you want to catch the demons from the heavens or the heretics, all the kind-hearted Dharma-protecting spirits, the gods and dragons, and the remainder of the eightfold pision, and the 84,000 Vajra Store Bodhisattvas will immediately seize them. This is the Hooking and Summoning Dharma.
〈楞嚴咒〉有五會，其中分出來有叁十幾部法。那麼我在東北能對治這一切人的病痛，都因爲〈楞嚴咒〉的這種力量。可是這個〈楞嚴咒〉不是隨隨便便人人都可以使用的；那麼使用也不是全面的，因爲分出來叁十幾部，有叁十幾部法。我這樣說，那麼在美國有一些個不懂佛法的教授，他們就想了，說：「哦！原來這個〈楞嚴咒〉是很多小咒湊到一起的！」你說這講出來，真是笑死人！自己也不明白，就以教授這個科學的腦袋，來揣測〈楞嚴咒〉這種不可思議的情形。我聽見這麼樣地講，覺得很可笑！
The Shurangama Mantra consists of five sections and can be pided into over thirty types of dharmas. It was because of the power of the Shurangama Mantra that I was able to treat people”s illnesses when I was in Manchuria. However, it is n…
