十 祝贊迴向
Chapter 10: Praise and Dedication
二師即從座起,大眾隨起。二師至佛前拈香,長跪合掌。維那白云:
The two masters rose from their seats, and the entire assembly followed suit. They approached the Buddha, offered incense, and knelt with palms joined. Then the cantor declared:
「上來行法所有功德,奉祝梵釋四王、天龍八部、伽藍真宰、土地靈聰、各軫威神,安邦護法;今上國主,聖化無窮;文武官員,長居祿位;師僧父母、善惡知識、十方信施、法界眾生,承此善根,俱登彼岸。」
We now dedicate all the merit from this practice to the Brahma and Indra, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Eightfold Division of Devas and Dragons, the true guardians of the temple, and the intelligent earth spirits. May each exert their majestic power to bring peace to the nation and protect the Dharma. May the current ruler enjoy endless, sacred influence. May civil and military officials long hold their positions of honor. May teachers, monastics, parents, virtuous and unwholesome friends, faithful donors from the ten directions, and all beings throughout the realm of reality, by relying on this wholesome root, together arrive at the Other Shore.
白訖,二師起立。大眾同念釋迦牟尼佛號,繞佛數匝。復位,同唱偈云:
After the recitation, the two masters stood up. The assembly chanted the name of Shakyamuni Buddha together, and circumambulated the Buddha several times. Returning to their positions, they chanted the gatha:
「處世界如虛空, 猶蓮花不著水,
心清淨超於彼, 稽首禮無上尊。」
The wise dwell in the world like space itself— Unstained, as a lotus flower by water. With a mind pure and transcendent, I bow in reverence to the Supreme One.
或如常例,再增加唱三歸偈,亦可。
大眾禮佛退出。○行者受彼父母、尊長等拜賀。
