中英文对照 * 我们的责任是什么

身为佛法修行者，

面对浊世的邪恶势力，

我们的责任是什么？

1.

于此浊世，外器世界会有

许多源自四大元素失调的天灾；

同时邪恶势力也会带着许多武器

而扇动许多战争。

During this degenerate age

in the outer world, there are 

many natural disasters due to 

the upsetting of the four elements. 

also demonic forces come with 

their many weapons to incite

 the fighting of wars.

2.

所有这些势力皆已造成

世界趋近崩毁，人们因恐惧

而胆颤心惊、寒毛直竖。

All of those forces have caused

the world to come to ruin and led

all to tremble- so terrified that

their hair stands up on end.

3.

身为佛法修行者，

若我们被召去对抗它们，

根本毫无胜算。

If we were called on to

confront them, there is no way

we Dharma practitioners could

defeat them.

（总言之）

这就是为何我们要对三宝祈请，

念诵祈愿文、

供养文与祈请文的原因。

此为我们肩负的责任。

That is why we make supplication

prayers to the three jewels,

do the aspiration prayers,

the offering prayers and the 

prayers of invocation. We are

responsible for those activities.
