若我滅後末世眾生，有能自誦，若教他誦。當知如是誦持眾生，火不能燒，水不能溺，大毒、小毒所不能害。如是乃至天龍鬼神、精祇魔魅，所有惡咒，皆不能著，心得正受。一切咒詛，厭蠱、毒藥、金毒、銀毒、草木蟲蛇，萬物毒氣，入此人口，成甘露味。一切惡星，並諸鬼神，磣心毒人，於如是人不能起惡。頻那、夜迦，諸惡鬼王並其眷屬，皆領深恩，常加守護。 【楞嚴經-第七卷】

After my Nirvana, in the time of the Dharma’s ending, people who can recite this mantra or teach others to recite it will be in no danger of being burned, or of being drowned, or of being harmed by mild or strong poisons. Further, when they are absorbed in samādhi, no evil spell will have the power to ensnare them, whether the spell be cast by gods, dragons, ghosts, or spirits, including terrestrial or celestial spirits, demonic ghosts, and nightmare ghosts. Any substance made venomous by spell, curse, or sorcerer’s hex, any poisonous herb, any potion made toxic by the admixture of metals such as gold or silver, any noxious vapor derived from plants, trees, insects, or snakes, indeed any of the countless kinds of poisonous substances — all these will turn into ambrosia upon entering the mouths of people who recite this mantra. No evil spirit dwelling in a celestial body, nor any other ghost or spirit that harbors malice toward people, will have the power to work its evil on them. They will always be guarded and protected by Vināyaka and by other once-hostile ghost-kings who have been tamed by deep kindness.

Alan Nicholson met Ven. Master Hua at the Buddha's birthday at the San Francisco Buddhist Lecture Hall in 1970 after frequently dreaming about a Buddhist monk. Shortly afterward, Alan decided to move into the Buddhist Hall where he took refuge and received his Dharma name Guo Gwei (果歸; to return). Since then, Alan has played many vital roles within DRBA, including designing Buddha Root Farm’s future Buddha Hall, renovating Gold Mountain Monastery, taking pictures for Vajra Bodhi Sea magazine, and introducing many future Western disciples of Ven. Master Hua, including Bhikshu Heng Ju (one of the Three Steps One Bow monks). Currently, Alan lives near the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in the town of Ukiah with his wife Terri.

The Oral History Project (OHP) is an initiative to introduce Dhyana Master Hsuan Hua, the cultivator who brought orthodox Mahayana Buddhism to the western world. He is the 45th Patriarch from Shakyamuni Buddha, the 18th Patriarch in China from Bodhidharma, the 9th Patriarch of the Wei Yang Lineage, and the first Patriarch in the West.

The OHP video series gives you a glimpse of the Master’s character and methods of teaching through the – previously undocumented – personal experiences of people who had the opportunity to learn directly from him.

This project aims to keep the Master’s teachings alive through videos of personal accounts that could inspire even those who do not yet know the Master. The memories and stories of each person interviewed enables us to feel closer to the Master as if we were learning directly from him ourselves.

這項口述歷史影片計畫主要是為了介紹三藏法師 上宣下化老和尚 ⎯ 一位將正統大乘佛法帶到西方世界的高僧大德。宣化上人稟承釋迦牟尼佛為第四十五世傳法人，是中國禪宗始祖菩提達摩傳承的第十八世祖師，也是溈仰宗第九世接法人，更是傳法西方的第一代祖師。

這一系列的口述影像，將透過諸位弟子描述當年跟追隨上人學習佛法的親身體驗，藉由他們從末曝光的點滴舊事， 帶您認識宣公上人的風範以及他的教化。此計劃旨在發揚宣公上人的教法，冀望透過口述專訪，啟發尚未認識老和尚的人; 希望透過每位受訪者對上人的回憶及故事，讓我們彷彿也在上人座下親受其教，親聆法音。
