七十年代  金山禅寺
弟子们正在听上人讲解
《华严经疏序》、《华严经疏》及《华严经》

1970’s  Gold Mountain Dhyana Monastery
Disciples listening to the Master’s lectures on the Avatamsaka (Flower Adornment) Preface, Prologue, and Sutra at Gold Mountain Dhyana Monastery

讲经期间，上人鼓励弟子们事先做好准备，因为谁也不知道，何时上人会叫弟子出来讲演。

During this lecture series the Master encouraged disciples to do preparation. It was never known when the Master would call on a disciple to lecture that evening’s passage first.

使用耳机的目的，是为了方便弟子们在翻译英语时，同时可以听中文。在隔音室，其它的弟子们，则一边听中文，一边翻译并打字成英文讲稿。

Earphones were used so disciples could listen to the Chinese while the English translation was being given. Simultaneously, other disciples were in a sound-proof booth typing the lecture into English as it was spoken in Chinese.
