有人真能持〈楞嚴咒〉，在這個地方，虛空裡頭就有一個大白傘蓋。你的功夫若大、若高，你一念這個傘蓋，甚至於幾千里地以內，都無災無難了；你功夫若小，那麼這個傘蓋在你自己的頭上，也保護著你。你要是有道德，是一個大德高僧，你這一念，甚至於整個國家都得到好處了，都沒有什麼災難了。就有災難，大的災難也就化小了，小的災難就化沒有了。
Actually those who are really dedicated in reciting the Shurangama Mantra are transformation bodies of Buddhas. Not just any transformation bodies, but those atop the Buddha's crown--transformation bodies of that transformation body! And so you see that the wonderful aspects of the Shurangama Mantra are difficult to express, difficult to conceptualize. Wherever someone is seriously reciting the Shurangama Mantra, a great white canopy will be there in the space above him. If your skill in reciting the mantra is high-level and far-reaching, then when you recite, the canopy will extend for thousands of miles, preventing any disasters or difficulties. If you only have a little skill, then the canopy will be right above your own head protecting you. If you have virtue in the Way, if you are a High Sanghan, then when you recite, the entire nation will be benefitted and no calamities will occur. Or if disasters are unavoidable, big ones will turn into little ones, and the little ones won't even happen.
