(1) The scripture was written according to the customs and language at that time, but things changed and customs changed. If it is suitable for modern times, it will not be translated.
(2) Regardless of the distance between saints and ordinary people, if we want to make the subtle French pronunciation of saints in the past suitable for the foolish customs of later generations, we should not translate it.
(3) Ananda went out of the Buddhist scriptures, and soon after he left the Buddhist world, he was recorded by countless saints, which led to the spread of the holy religion. If future generations engage in the translation of Confucian classics with shallow opinions, even if they are extremely cautious, they are afraid of making mistakes, and they will not translate if they know translation.
In addition, Master Xuanzang has five theories of not turning over, namely:
(a) the secret so don't turn, such as Dalagni.
(2) If there is ambiguity, don't turn it over, like a bodhisattva.
(3) this party does not turn over without reason, such as a tree floating clouds.
(4) There are ancient translations that are not translated (transliteration has been done before, and it is generally known), such as Aunt Doro's three virtues and three bodhis.
(5) Good deeds are rewarded with good deeds and not reversed, such as Prajna Paramita, which is heard and believed. If you translate them into wisdom, you are afraid of being frivolous. If you don't translate them, you will respect them.
Therefore, all mantras are untranslatable in religion. Because if the truth is translated, all beings are obsessed with this word and cannot understand its true meaning.
The meaning of the great compassion curse
Since the translation of The Sutra of Great Compassion in the Tang Dynasty, the mantra of great compassion has been widely circulated, and it has been included in the jungle lessons in the Han Dynasty. According to the Great Compassion Sutra, the Great Compassion Mantra was proclaimed by Avalokitesvara for the benefit of all sentient beings, and its benefits are like the sea. Whether it is to eliminate obstacles and difficulties, get good wishes, or get rid of symptoms, the great compassion mantra can be widely enjoyed because of its incredible convenience and powerful power. Therefore, there are not a few Buddhists, who are committed to reading the great compassion mantra for self-interest and altruism and protecting Buddhism.
