A clamorous row prevailed as the war hastened on

問 候 諸 真

Holding the pen with excitement while feeling nervous at heart,

小 仙 執 筆 驚 惺 在 心 中

I shall tonight reveal and narrate a little of my life history

I fought in both world wars

參 戰 二 次 大 戰 場

I was appointed Commander in chief of the United States Army Forces in Asia

派 駐 亞 洲 為 統 帥

I have had the experience of battling through wars both great and small

經 歷 大 小 戰 役 場

I was always mentally alert and dared not be idle for a moment,

精 神 何 敢 一 刻 懈

as a word of command from me determined success or failure

一 號 一 令 關 興 亡

Initially, I was Chief of staff and High Commissioner of the Philippines

初 期 曾 駐 菲 律 賓

China and Japan were at war for eight long years

中 日 抗 戰 八 年 長

The Japanese soldiers invaded Pearl Harbour

War was declared between the United States of America and Japan to determine which nation had the greater power

There was a great number of casualties and deaths in the Japanese city of Hiroshima

With my appointment as Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, my troops occupied Japan for some time

駐 受 日本 一 段 時

After the war ended there was a short period of peace

Not too long afterwards China fell to communism

Millions of heroes were buried in the battlefields

There came from China a batalion of bold soldiers who were very skillful in strategy

To talk about them now, I can still feel myself shudder,

as they charged on with fiery violence

如 火 如 凃 情 勢 猛

My soldiers fought and pushed straight on to the Yalu river

我 軍 直 推 鴨 綠 江

The Russians and the Chinese joined forces in North Korea while the Americans were assisting the South Koreans

蘇 聯 中 共 同 參 戰

美 軍 援 助 南 韓 方

I wanted to take this opportunity to invade China's territory and drive their force back

乘 勢 追 擊 中 共 境

At that time I was inspired by that strategy because it would enable me to easily exterminate the North Korean Army

落 花 流 水 快 心 腸

一 舉 懺 滅 北 韓 軍

Victory was imminent

成 功 在 望 旦 夕 長

However, and order was received from my superiors in Washington which obstructed my victorious attack

上 方 力 阻 難 伸 志

I was therefore unable to accomplish a victory to my satisfaction

未 能 痛 快 勝 一 丈

Excessive consideration on the part of my superiors in Washington impeded the undertaking

顧 慮 過 多 事 耽 誤

It was fated and the event should end that way

此 亦 定 數 有 此 場

No matter how intelligent or capable a person is , he is unable to oppose fate

人 縱 智 力 難 違 數

Fate alone selects those who will meet with calamities

淘 汰 人 類 遭 劫 殃

Regretfully, I retired from the army

鬱 鬱 不 歡 告 老 去

Peacefully and leisurely I returned to my homeland

安 閒 消 逸 樂 林 鄉

The anxiety within me to fulfill my ambition was thus halted

Without the strength to restore the national prestige of my country, the desire of my heart was not attainable

胸 懷 大 志 難 違 數

回 天 無 力 愿 難 償

With profound enthusiasm, I had wanted to fight for peace in the world

This anxiety to save the world brought heartfelt tears

滿 膛 熱 血 平 世 道

一 掬 熱 淚 救 世 腸

The human heart cannot be peaceful as the mountains and the oceans.

人 心 難 平 如 山 海

There is no peace in the world because the course of events is comparable to breakers---before one wave subsides, another is advancing

一 波 未 定 一 波 起

Similarly, before one war is over, another war has been declared

一 場 戰 亂 又 一 場

Besides the pitiful losses of lives and property, the most sorrowful were those who were severely wounded and crippled for life

人 物 損 失 慘 重 傷

When Vietnam fell into communist hands, her country men suffered great distress

越 南 赤 化 生 靈 苦

War and misfortune had now spread to another nation

The state of affairs in the future will be even more disastrous

未 來 時 勢 更 悲 慘

The world will be in a state of anarchy and the heart of men will become extremely complex and reckless

複 雜 紊 亂 世 動 蕩

In the future and state of affairs in Asia will be even more chaotic

未 來 亞 洲 更 紛 亂

Even if people are clever as the hare or sly as the fox, They will still be slaughtered like innocent lambs

兔 死 狐 烹 待 罪 羊

The leaders of all those nations are dabbling with politics as though they were playing with fire

各 國 領 袖 如 玩 火

A little carelessness on their part could quickly bring about the destruction of those nations

一 不 小 心 大 禍 闖

A third world war is unavoidably

三 場 大 戰 難 幸 免

Compared with the first two world wars, it will be the most devastation

慘 勝 二 次 大 戰 場

Nobody is capable of predicting the drastic changes that will take place in the world situation

Worldwide, there will be endless wars

時 局 轉 變 誰 能 料

From these wars, fate will allow only three out of every ten human beings to escape disaster

淘 汰 人 類 十 留 三

The wars will also destroy every scientific creation

毀 滅 文 明 一 切 亡

Fortunately, the Dao has been simultaneously disseminated to save the world

幸 有 真 道 來 救 世

The world has now evolved to the "White Era" during which will emerge spiritual teachers endowed with the heavenly decree

真 命 明 師 應 白 陽

一 場 過 去 有 一 場

Unfortunately, I lived my life through an untimely and insignificant period

小 仙 生 逢 於 末 世

Thus, I had no affinity for contact with the Tao or opportunity to observe its teachings and principles

緣 淺 未 遇 道 真 常

生 在 異 邦 為 異 客

得 道 機 會 甚 渺 茫

All of you present have the affinity to be born Orientals

諸 君 緣 厚 生 中 華

The Dao originated in Asia

局 於 亞 洲 道 先 揚

Although I ascended to space as an immortal upon my death, I was unable to return to heaven without the kind aid of a human benefactor

小 仙 雖 然 列 氣 界

無 人 引 渡 難 還 鄉

My passage from space to heaven was dependent upon my gracious benefactor , Master Wang, Who had so kindly enabled me to have an audience with our Heavenly Mother

此 之 恩 德 王 公 賴

提 拔 小 仙 朝 母 娘

My benefactor's graciousness is as high as the mountains and as vast as the oceans

大 恩 大 德 如 山 海

This great act of spiritual aid will never be forgotten

真 情 真 義 永 不 忘

I f master Wang, my benefactor, has anything to ask of me, I will always be ready and willing to render my services to repay his kindness

恩 公 如 有 使 命 處

願 效 犬 馬 報 恩 償

If my benefactor should meet with any difficulties, he need only call my name three times and I will definitely rush to his assistance

今 後 若 遇 困 難 事

三 喚 吾 名 定 幫 忙

For many years I have been following him very closely

數 載 追 隨 公 左 右

There was not a day when I was not at his side assisting him in the expansion of his career and endeavors

一 日 未 嘗 離 身 旁

Unknown to him, all his undertakings have been successful because of my protection

扶 助 恩 公 事 通 暢

My benefactor and I had a very strong attachment in a former life

恩 公 小 仙 前 緣 厚

In my former life, I was born in the British Commonwealth

I was the Foreign Ambassador to China

前 外 使 節 駐 中 華

My benefactor was China's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs

恩 公 為 官 外 務 掌

Because of our national intercourse, we developed a strong and uninterrupted friendship

國 務 來 往 成 莫 逆

Later on, a rebellion broke out in China and my benefactor had to hide away from the rebellious cabal

後 因 國 亂 避 奸 黨

Unable to find a proper hiding place, my benefactor was very worried

藏 匿 無 所 萬 分 急

At that time, I resigned from my post and returned to my homeland immediately

小 仙 辭 官 即 還 鄉

I brought my benefactor and his entire family home with me to remain permanently in England

帶 同 恩 公 合 家 去

定 居 英 國 我 家 鄉

That portion of cause and effect has been repaid in this life

一 段 因 果 今 生 報

My benefactor has now removed me from the cycle of rebirth

恩 公 渡 我 出 陰 陽

I have been hoping that he will come to my homeland to propagate the Dao

盼 臨 我 邦 道 推 展

I have been seizing every opportunity to secretly assist in the propagation of the Dao

小 仙 撥 機 暗 助 揚

前 世 吾 生 英 聯 邦

During this current period named the "Third" or White Era", if a person does not establish any merits or perform any good deeds, his name will not appear in the " Book of Merits of the White Era" in praise of his achievements

三 期 不 立 寸 功 德

白 陽 冊 上 無 表 揚

All of you virtuous men and women who are present at this temple have the affinity to assemble here tonight

壇 下 乾 坤 諸 善 信

有 緣 今 日 聚 一 堂

All of you have established profound religious merits and possess roots of virtue that are thick and firm

善 根 深 厚 富 德 廣

To hear about and obtain the Dao is not an ordinary matter

得 聞 真 道 非 尋 常

We should all grasp every opportunity to extend the propagation of the Dao, and to cherish the thought of saving the world by sailing the Barge of Compassion

把 握 時 機 為 道 展

救 世 為 懷 駕 慈 航

Every immortal of space is anxiously longing to obtain the Dao

氣 界 諸 仙 盼 得 道

Their hopes are as vain as are those of one who stretches his neck to catch a few drops of water from a dry spring during a drought

如 旱 望 泉 頸 盼 長

Having obtained the Dao so easily, you may not realize its true value

得 之 容 易 不 知 貴

You must be careful not to lose or forget the Dao as easily as you have obtained it

輕 得 易 失 勿 渺 茫

You should all take advantage of the opportunity to establish yourselves in the propagation of the Dao

立 身 行道 趁 良 機

Meritorious service is dependent on each individual's will power

萬 載 功 業 賴 自 強

I wish each and everyone of you a great future to be able to ride with the wind and break the waves, i.e., to have high spiritual ambitions and to follow the path of the Dao

祝 衆 前 途 無 限 量

乘 風 破 浪 步 康 莊

I shall now turn to my benefactor to inquire if he has anything to request of me

轉 問 恩 公 何 囑 咐

Every task he gives me will be carried out obediently and in complete detail

指 示 小 仙 遵 行 詳

Master Wang, the befactor, replied:

" Now that you have obtained the Dao, you must do your best to help with its propagation".

恩 公 答 略:

你 現 已 得 道 就 該 盡 力 為 道 宣 揚

My master, what you have just said is too polite

前 人 斯 言 太 客 氣

I will definitely do my utmost to help with the propagation

小 仙 必 定 盡 力 揚

Where propagation of the Dao begins, you have only to call my name and I will definitely be there to assist you

無 論 何 處 道 開 展

有 喚 仙 名 定 前 幫

The transmission of the Dao to the three kinds of beings is a very important matter which will enlighten the whole universe

三 曹 大 事 驚 天 地

How can I afford not to perform my very best to assist in this matter

小 仙 那 有 不 盡 量

Upon receiving any instructions from my master

只 要 前 人 一 吩 咐

I will never decline even though it many cost me my life

小 仙 萬 死 不 推 搪

I shall stop here and depart

Let me pray with reverence to thank our Heavenly Mother, our Great Teacher and my Gracious Benefactor, To all present in this temple I would like to bid a fond farewell

言 此 辭 叩

皇 母 駕 叩 謝 恩 師 在 壇 堂

再 為 叩 謝 恩 公 前 道 別 諸 君 出 佛 堂
