Shurangama Mantra with Verses and Commentary

by Venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua

186. QUẬT PHẠM ĐÔ

掘梵都

 

 

Chư Phật Thế Tôn đại từ bi

Phương tiện Quyền xảo độ luân hồi

Xả tà Quy chánh hằng tinh tấn

Thỷ tri Lai giả chi khả truy.

 

諸佛世尊大慈悲

方便權巧度輪迴

捨邪歸正恒精進

始知來者之可追

The Buddhas, World Honored Ones, have great compassion.

With expedient provisional means, they save beings from the turning wheel,

So they cast aside the deviant, return to the proper, and are always vigorous.

Because at last they realize that in the future, they have a chance to make amends.
