Miraculous Scripture of the Highest Mystery Ascending, Disaster Dissolving, and Life Protecting

At the time, The Original Universal Lord was in the Forest of the Seven Treasures, and inside the Palace of the Five

Luminaries. He was with the infinite number of holy ones, radiating infinite light, illuminating the infinite number of

worlds, observing the infinite number of living beings, who are suffering infinite pain and worries: Roving about in the

worlds, reincarnating between life and death, floating on the river of sensual love, drifting in the sea of desires, sunk in

the pleasures of the senses, confused by the questions of being and non-being: no emptiness or emptiness? No form or

form? Non-non-being or non-being? Being or non-being?Thus they are ultimately in darkness. They cannot luminate themselves, and they are still in a state of confusion and

doubt.

The [Original] Universal Lord then said: All you living beings, [you] find being in no being, non-being in non-non-

being, form in no form, and emptiness in no emptiness; [you consider] non-being as being, non-non-being as non-

being, non-form as form, and non-emptiness as emptiness.

Emptiness is just emptiness, but emptiness is not absolute emptiness; form is just form, but form is not absolute

form; so emptiness is form, and so form is emptiness. If you can understand that emptiness is not really emptiness, and

form is not really form, such a state of mind is called "fully luminated," and you can then begin to attain the Miraculous

Message.

Knowing the Way of No-Emptiness, you can observe all phenomena without obstacles, enter all of the miraculous

doors, and by your own accord achieve realization. You can be free from all the webs of doubt, and detach from your

perceptive fixation on "emptiness". You can cleanse the six senses, and sever all evil obstacles.

I now teach you these Miraculous Scriptures, which is called "Life Protection," in order to deliver all living beings,so they can honor it no matter where they are. Teach it to the world, and it will be read and chanted widely.

When that occurs, the heavenly spiritual kings, the evil-destroying Jin Gang, the Fa protecting spiritual children, the

sufferer-rescuing true immortals, the fierce beasts with radiant eyes, and all of the hundreds and hundreds of billions of

beings, will gather together to protect these Scriptures, defend it anywhere they are, and deliver all the living beings, so

that they can be free of all corruptions.

At the time, The [Original] Universal Lord said this hymn:

You look but do not see me,

You listen but do not hear [me];

Depart from all extremes,

This is called the Miraculous Way (Tao).

宛轉世間；輪廻生死；深根愛河；流吹欲海；沈滯聲色；迷惑有無；無空有空；無色有色；無無有無；有有

無有；終始暗昧；不能自明；畢竟迷惑。

天尊告曰：汝等衆生從不有中有；不無中無；不色中色；不空中空。非有爲有；非無爲無；非色爲色；非空

爲空。空即是空、空無定空。色即是色、色無定色。即色是空、即空是色。若能知空不空、知色不色名爲照

了、始達妙音識無空法、洞觀無礙。入衆妙門、自然解悟。離諸疑網。不著空見、清靜六根。斷除邪障、我

即有飛天神王破邪金剛

When that occurs, the heavenly spiritual kings, the evil-destroying Chin-kang [Vajra],

護法靈童救苦眞人金精猛獸

the Fa [ Dharma] protecting spiritual children, the sufferer-rescuing true immortals, the fierce beasts with radiant eyes,

各百億萬衆倶侍衛是經

and all of the hundreds and hundreds of billions of beings, will gather together to protect these Scriptures,

隨所供養捍厄扶衰度一切衆生離諸染著

defend it anywhere they are, and deliver all the living beings, so that they can be free of all corruptions.

爾時天尊即説偈曰

At the time, The [Original] Universal Lord said this hymn:

視不見我 You look but do not see me,

聽不得聞 You listen but do not hear [me];

離種種邊 Depart from all extremes,
