　今朝有緣師徒逢　　難得相聚非易容
　　It is not easy for us, Teacher and disciples,
　　　to be able to meet with each other.
　以心印心來明悟　　當下悟徹此人生
　　Heart to heart at this very moment,
　　Let us gain a profound insight into life.
　道非言誦可談盡　　也非筆墨寫楚清
　　Dao cannot be described to the full in words
　　　or languages, yet it remains unchanged.
　一切真理永不變　　天理人心公正明
　　The Truth, the Way will only prevail
　　　if you rest assured to practice it.
　人焉何如須修道　　脫離生死出牢籠
　　Why do people need to cultivate Dao?
　　　　It is to liberate from the rebirth cycle.
　止於至善理一貫　　一點明白來路通
　　To attain supreme perfection of life the way is
　　　one and only; this golden path to heaven is now
　　　unfolded.
　觀自人生幾十載　　手握金銀終成空
　　Life is short only with tens of years;
　　All the worldly wealth in hand now will eventually go away.
　三寸氣斷難再有　　無常之理否悟明
　　Passing life is of no return;
　　How can you not see the uncertainty?
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　懂　嗎
　　　　　　　　　　　　　Understand?

　一簞食一瓢飲　　知足常樂樂安貧
　　Learn to lead a simple yet joyous life;
　　Happy is he who is content.
　紅塵中行仁義　　苦海駕舟挽迷童
　　In this mortal world benevolence and
　　righteousness should be advocated and
　　practiced; in this suffering sea one should
　　ferry the lost child to the shore.
　今時末速修道　　善因善果自然成
　　Now is the time of last salvation;
　　Only by diligent cultivation of Dao can success
　　be achieved.
　抱道進奉道行　　真理而行依旨宗
　　So go ahead and put in your true heart;
　　Abide by the right way and really fulfill
　　the purpose of Dao.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　懂　嗎
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Understand?
　徒兒們　What is the TAO 道就是在日常生活之中　你的應對進退的舉止當中就是道　道並不難　而是人人還未行通
　All of my disciples, what is the Dao? Dao is in your daily life, in your words and in your behaviors. Practicing Dao is actually not difficult, but many people just have not understood it.
　如果為人子女懂孝道盡你的本份　能夠家中和樂安詳　你若為父母親　能夠立身行以大道　行之正　那麼家庭中一定快樂　一定和諧　所以行道並不是艱難　而是要悟得入門之法領
　As a child you can fulfill filial duties, and your family will be harmonious and peaceful. As a parent you make a good role model, always practice Dao and rectify yourself, and your family will surely be happy and harmonious. Therefore, practicing Dao is not difficult at all, but the premise is that you must know how.
　今日法會　大伙前來　有善緣根基深厚　才能夠因緣成熟　一場法會驚天動地　仙佛菩薩都在打幫助道　所以徒兒們　當要對自己有信心　對人生有目標　一步一步謹慎往前　好嗎
　For the Dao Seminar today, all of you attendees have great affinity with heaven. Your spiritual foundation is deeply rooted too. That is why you can make it to come. For the Dao Seminar to take place, it requires joint efforts of heaven and humans, so all the saints, sages, bodhisattvas and angels also put in their utmost efforts. My disciples! Be confident of yourself. Hold on to a right direction and step by step pursue your goal in life. All right?
　希望在未來的路程上　有為師陪伴著你們　時光荏苒無情過　歲月無情東逝流　壯志滿懷待時機　而今一躍上九重　明白自己將來路　師引徒賢回故都
　I hope that in your future journey of life, I can always keep you company. Despite the merciless passage of time, keep up your sky-high aspirations. Now the opportunity has come and your great success is anticipated. Not until you are fully awakened to your spiritual origin, will I, as your Holy Teacher, guide you back to our eternal home.

　時因有限不下囑　願徒平安德為舖　贈與賢徒平安果　祥和如意在日日　師隱一旁陪徒聆　佛規森嚴謹慎出
　Time is limited, so I will stop writing. Wishing all of you peace and prevailing virtues. You will be given a fruit of peace and joy, so that you will be auspicious and dreams come true. As your Holy Teacher, now I am retreating to the side listening to the Dao lectures together with you. Hoping you can cautiously and strictly follow the temple regulations.
