法華三昧觀法：
Practice of Contemplation on the Lotus Samadhi
三七日一心精進如說修行，正憶念《法華經》者，當念釋迦牟尼佛於耆闍崛山與多寶佛在七寶塔共坐，十方分身化佛遍滿所移眾生國土之中，一切諸佛各有一生補處菩薩一人為侍，如釋迦牟尼佛以彌勒為侍。一切諸佛現神通力，光明遍照無量國土，欲證實法出其舌相，音聲滿於十方世界。所說《法華經》者，所謂十方三世眾生若大若小，乃至一稱南無佛者，皆當作佛。惟一大乘，無二無三，一切諸法一相一門，所謂無生無滅畢竟空相。唯有此大乘，無有二也。習如是觀者，五欲自斷、五蓋自除，五根增長，即得禪定。住此定中深愛於佛，又當入是甚深微妙一相一門清淨之法。當恭敬普賢、藥王、大樂說、觀世音、得大勢、文殊、彌勒等大菩薩眾，是名一心精進如說修行正憶念《法花經》也。此謂與禪定和合令心堅固，如是三七日中，則普賢菩薩乘六牙白象來至其所，如經中說。
Practice single-minded diligence for three weeks, cultivating as the teaching prescribes, and properly recollect the Lotus Sutra. You should contemplate Shakyamuni Buddha on Vulture Peak, seated together with Prabhūtaratna Buddha within the seven-jeweled stupa. The billion transformed Buddhas, emanating from his body, fill the realms of beings that have been transplanted. Each of those Buddhas has a single crown prince–level bodhisattva as an attendant—just as Shakyamuni Buddha has Maitreya as his attendant. All the Buddhas manifest their supernatural powers, and their light shines everywhere, illuminating countless lands. To bear witness to the true Dharma, they put out their tongues, and their voices fill the entire universe of ten directions. The Lotus Sutra they teach is this: Every being of the ten directions and three times—whether great or small, even one who has but once uttered “Namo Buddha”—will certainly become a Buddha. There is only the Single Great Vehicle; there are not two or three. All phenomena share a single characteristic and a single gate—namely, no birth, no death, the ultimate emptiness of all marks. This Great Vehicle alone exists; there is no second. Anyone who contemplates in this way will naturally cut off the five desires, naturally eliminate the five hindrances, and naturally grow the five faculties, thus attaining meditative absorption (dhyāna). Dwelling in this absorption, one feels deep love for the Buddha, and should further enter into this profound, subtle, single-mark, single-gate pure Dharma. One should respectfully honor the great bodhisattvas Samantabhadra, Bhaiṣajyarāja, Mahākṣitigarbha, Avalokiteśvara, Mahāsthāmaprāpta, Mañjuśrī, and Maitreya. This is what is meant by “single-minded diligence, cultivating as the teaching prescribes, and properly recollecting the Lotus Sutra.” It is said that this practice, combined with meditative absorption, makes the mind firm. Thus, within the three weeks of practice, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva will ride a six-tusked white elephant and arrive at that person’s location, just as the sutra describes.
