Venerable Master Hsuan Hua:
With a kind, compassionate regard, a regard full of joy and giving,
He rescues all beings, transforming great-thousand world systems.
Gathering in those with and without prior affinities,
He helps them to end suffering, find joy, and return to the source.
上宣下化老和尚:
慈觀悲觀喜捨觀
普度眾生化大千
有緣無緣同攝受
離苦得樂返本源
Venerable Master Hsuan Hua:
Contemplating Sounds’ teacher is the Host, Amitabha Buddha,
Whose forty-eight vows transform the Saha world.
Ultimate Bliss is reached through nine kinds of rebirth on three levels.
The Mahayana is expressed in the flowing water and blowing wind.

觀音師主阿彌陀
四十八願化娑婆
三輩九品生極樂
水流風動衍摩訶
