绿度母启请颂 林钰堂
诸佛慈髓 观音悲泪 滋润化冥顽
慑魔以笑 护佑成证 行人仰母恩
海天岩洞 虹身潮音 何时得亲证
轮回六道 浮沉众苦 唯尊能普渡
应弟子疾呼、绵延之请而敬造
二○○七年十二月十七日
养和斋 于加州
附记：昨日弟子敬行求作启请颂，而写出赞词。当时即忆及弟子疾呼、绵延早有此请，而当时曾回以已作〈救度母赞〉即是。昨日火供后，需休息，无力再作启请颂。今晨即依赞词大意，造启请颂。赞则重于歌颂功德，启请则应有仰求加被之义含。因缘如此，需待时日，才有此颂，而祈请造颂者依旧是最初者。敬行以赞，疾呼启请，慈恩绵延，似乎皆有定数矣。

Supplication to Green Tara Yutang Lin
Marrow of Mercy from all Buddhas, compassionate tears of Guan Yin,
Moisten and nourish to transform the stubborn and rigid beings
Dispelled devils through laughter, guard and help attainment of enlightenment,
Dharma practitioners seek and rely on Your Holy Mother's grace
Sacred Potala Cave amid sky and sea, rainbow body surrounded by tidal sounds,
When will this practitioner personally realize thus
Drifting from realm to realm in Samsara, floating up and down in waves of suffering
Only Your Holiness is capable of universal salvation
As requested by disciples Ji Hu and Mian Yan
Reverently composed in Chinese and translated on December 17, 2007
El Cerrito, California
Appendix:
Yesterday disciple Jing Xing requested me to compose a supplication to Green Tara. And yet the stanza I composed turned out to be a praise. Also, it occurred to me then that disciples Ji Hu and Mian Yan had respectively made the same request a while back. But at those times I replied that, since I had already composed "Praise to Taras," that would do. Yesterday after the fire puja I needed rest and was incapable of going on to compose a supplication. Early this morning, in accordance with the general ideas of the praise, I composed the supplication. A praise emphasizes on illustrating the virtuous merits, while a supplication should include references to pleading for blessings. The causal conditions are such that it took some time for this stanza to become available, and the disciples mentioned as requesters are still the original ones. Using the meaning of their Dharma names, it seems to have been prearranged that, one praises through reverent activities (Jing Xing), and supplicates with passionate callings (Ji Hu), and thus Her merciful grace lasts continuously (Mian Yan).
