抄经

佛陀在《大般若波罗蜜多经》第431卷中举了一个比喻:如果善男子、善女人教十方一切的有情修定,最后获得五神通,这个善行还不如抄写经典給他人读颂,令经典广为流布,后者所获得的功德更好更大。  

抄经功德殊胜,不仅能灭罪消灾,除病脱险,得善神拥护,还能增长智慧,令人天欢喜,福寿绵长。 

此时此刻,让我们一起阅读《心经》里的一字一句,静下心,透过抄经洗去内心的杂念,也为自己累积功德,建立契入佛法的缘起。 

Sutra Copying

Volume 431 of the Mahaprajnaparamita sutra mentions an analogy: If the laymen and laywomen teach all sentient beings to study samadhi and obtain five supernatural powers; these good deeds are not as good as copying sutras for others to read, promoting the sutra to the masses, where the merits attained are better and bigger.

The merits of copying sutra is incredible. Not only can it eliminate sins and disasters, cure diseases and escape from dangers, gain protection from the celestial gods, it could also help us accumulate wisdom and gain longevity.

At this moment, let’s calm our heart and read the Heart Sutra word by word. Through copying the sutra, let’s wash out the distracting thoughts in our heart, and start accumulate merits for learning the dharma.

揭谛揭谛,波罗揭谛,波罗僧揭谛,菩提萨婆诃。

即说咒曰:

故说般若波罗蜜多咒。

是无上咒,是无等等咒。能除一切苦,真实不虚。

故知般若波罗蜜多,是大神咒,是大明咒,

三世诸佛,依般若波罗蜜多故,得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。

无挂碍故,无有恐怖,远离颠倒梦想,究竟涅槃。

菩提萨埵,依般若波罗蜜多故,心无挂碍。

无苦集灭道,无智亦无得,以无所得故。

乃至无老死,亦无老死尽。

乃至无意识界,无无明,亦无无明尽,

无眼耳鼻舌身意,无色声香味触法,无眼界,

是故空中无色,无受想行识,

不生不灭,不垢不净,不增不减,

舍利子,是诸法空相,

受想行识,亦复如是。

色即是空,空即是色。

舍利子,色不异空,空不异色,

照见五蕴皆空,度一切苦厄。

观自在菩萨,行深般若波罗蜜多时,

般若波罗蜜多心经

回向: 
抄经功德殊胜行  无边胜福皆回向 
普愿沉溺诸有情  速往无量光佛刹 
十方三一切佛  一切菩萨摩诃萨  摩般若波罗蜜 

Dedication of merits:

May the profound merits and virtues

Be dedicated to all sentient beings

May we eliminate all karmic obstacles

And together may we attain the state of Buddhahood
