印光大師 ---《觀音感應靈課 印流通序》
觀世音菩薩,愍念眾生之心,不可以言語形容;雖天地父母,未足以喻其少分。善根未種、未熟、未脫者,令其即種、即熟、即脫;應以何身得度者,即現何身而為說法。喻如日麗堯天,萬象咸蒙照燭;春回禹甸,百卉悉荷生成。有感即通,無謀而應。良以菩薩無心,以眾生之心為心,故得遍法界感、遍法界應,悉副彼念,了無差殊也。
《觀音感應課》者,俯順世情,令卜休咎,以期同種善根之妙方便也。凡占者,皆須稱菩薩名。如小兒有病,不肯服藥;塗藥于乳,則不服而服矣。菩薩名號如還魂香,若得見聞,宿業自消、宿善自生;以漸至于上追觀音之志事,究竟自利、利他于無既也。
茲因徐積餘居士與其夫人,得前明古本,石印千卷以結淨緣,略敘菩薩行慈之意云。
【印光大師法語】
觀世音菩薩,愍念眾生,尋聲救苦。凡作善事,懇求菩薩,必垂加被,令其得成。若作惡事,亦垂加被,令決不成。以成則造罪墮苦,其苦難救矣。此菩薩之真慈大悲也。
欲決疑者,若原供有菩薩像,則於像前焚香禮拜;若無,則即向此課本焚香禮拜。取五淨錢,將香煙上熏過,心中默禱所問之事,按下列之偈,并念菩薩若干聲。將錢在手中搖幾搖,令其次序散亂,然後擲於桌上;按次是幾字幾幕,照課本查是何卦,即得其所示之兆云。
※ 編者按:五淨錢者,即取五枚銅幣,各於其一面,分別寫上「金、木、水、火、土」,平時宜收妥,專作占課之用。
【占卜法須知】
昔日唐三藏詣西天取經,值觀世音菩薩曰:汝往西天求教,道途凶惡,緣汝能辨。吾助汝三十二感應靈通之卦,日傳一課,便見當日前途吉凶,禍福無不應者。
欲叩,焚香祝禱,用淨錢五文,於香煙上度過,手內擎搖。禱祝偈曰:
「紫金化身千百億 白衣妙相三十二
稽首圓通自在尊 沙界咸稱大悲主
南無大慈大悲靈感 觀世音菩薩摩訶薩」
志心念七遍,或三七遍,或一百八遍。叩而念,願賜證明。今虔祈禱;弟子某某,所求某事,未決憂疑;卽於三十二課內,欲占一課。勿順人情,願垂感應﹗ Yin Kuang --- "the goddess induction Indian spiritual lesson circulation sequence"
Bodhisattva, read the hearts of all living pity can not describe in words; though heaven and earth parents, not enough metaphor for its smaller share. Not planted good roots, immature, not off who make that kind, that is cooked, that off; what body should have the degree, that is what is now the body and for the statement. Yuru, Li Yao days, Vientiane salty doth candle; spring back to Yu Austin, charge generation learned all flowers. Felt that pass, but should not seek. Good mood to Buddha, to the heart of all living for the heart, it was all over the Dharma sense, over the Dharma should, he learned to read, vice, nothing special is also poor.
