阿弥陀佛圣像之简介
林钰堂
这是道证法师（俗名郭惠珍医师）抱病所作之阿弥陀佛圣像。此像完全依照《造像量度经》之规矩，胸前
字右旋亦正确，十分难得。色彩用现代方式呈现如虹之光月。原作为四尺乘八尺之大画，作画过程十分艰辛，详见其口述之《画佛因缘》。
蒙台中莲社赠送多幅，特此转赠流通，与众共沐佛、法、僧三宝之大恩。

阿弥陀佛圣像之简介
林钰堂
这尊阿弥陀佛是道证法师（俗名郭惠珍医师）抱肿瘤重病所作。此像完全依照《造像量度经》之规矩，胸前字右旋亦正确，十分难得。在作画过程中法师曾持诵弥陀圣号达四百八十万遍以上。堪称制作完全合乎标准之弥陀圣像。我也曾在梦中见自已以此像与大众结缘。此像之色彩以喷笔表现如虹之光明佛身。原作为四尺乘八尺之大画，作画过程十分艰辛，详见由其口述笔录之《画佛因缘》书中。
愿有缘见闻、供奉此像者，咸蒙佛佑，智悲增广，早成正觉，普济群生！

A Brief Introduction to the Holy Image of Amitabha Buddha
Yutang Lin
Translated into English by Stanley Lam
This image of Amitabha Buddha was painted by Reverend Dao
Zheng (Dr. Guo Hui Zhen, before her ordination) while she was suffering from
serious cancer. The proportion of this image follows exactly the specifications
as set down in the Sutra on Measurements for the Making of Buddha Images. Even
the Swastikaon the chest correctly rotates clockwise, which is rarely the
case nowadays. Reverend Dao Zheng chanted more than 4.8 million repetitions
the holy name of Amitabha Buddha during the painting of this image. This is
certainly a holy image of Amitabha Buddha made completely up to the standard.
Once in an inspired dream, I was distributing copies of this image to the public.
The color of this image was painted by airbrush to exhibit the luminescence
of the Buddha's rainbow-like body. The original painting is a large piece of
4 feet by 8 feet. The painting process was extremely arduous, as detailed in
the book she dictated, Causes and Conditions of Painting the Buddha Image.
May all who have the opportunity to see, hear and worship this image be blessed by the Buddha, increase and broaden their wisdom and compassion, so as to achieve Enlightenment soon and provide salvation to all sentient beings.
