I wrote this song,
when I firstly got to know music.
At that time, I was wondering
what kinds of music can be mixed with electronic music?
I lived in Taiwan and Buddhism is a major religion in Taiwan,
the idea spring up to my mind which religion mixed with electronic music,
hence we mix the Sutra-The Great Mercy Mantra with into electronic music.
this was the chance that I started to search information about The Great Mercy Mantra.
Why should we listen or read The Great Mercy Mantra in our education?
Even if you don't know how to recite,
As long as you listen to it, you will earn the merits of the great mercy mantra.
It means you wrote this song,
and heard by lots of people.
You will earn good merit by it.
The merits firstly lead you to a wealthy life, secondly, make you become very eloquent,
and thirdly, lead you rest in peace after death.

Chinese: 
作這首歌的時候
是我早期剛開始接觸音樂的時候
因為那個時候我就想說
我能把什麼東西跟電子音樂做結合
因為我在台灣 佛教又算是宗教的大宗
我就想說那可不可以試試看把經文
像大悲咒的融入到電子音樂裡面
於是我就去搜尋一些關於大悲咒的資料
在我們的教育裡面 為什麼要聽或唸
就算你不會背也不會怎樣
你只要聽就會得到大悲咒的功德
意思說你作這個歌曲
大悲咒很多人聽
你就得到那個好處的功德
第一個會發財 第二個口才會非常好
第三個喜歡聽這個歌的人

Chinese: 
就像我們以前在監獄推廣
就算判死刑了
你只要很虔誠地唸你都不會下地獄餓鬼道
你還會有機會脫離這樣不好的 就對了
想請問海濤法師平常除了佛教音樂以外
有沒有接觸其他類型的音樂
都要
像我們以前在監獄
就把月亮代表我的心改成一點點內容
把甜蜜蜜你進監獄以後、社會的梗
一樣是這個曲但是它的內容文字加了一點正面的
這個很重要 我們叫以音聲渡眾生
要以聲音呢去做佛教的事情吸引更多人
這是自古以來到現在
法師要表示的就是說 不只要吸引人來聽就這樣而已
吸引人來聽的同時 最少讓他知道這首歌的意境
當然站在你們音樂製作行業的希望
可以有很多人聽 可以有市場 賺到錢
這個是沒有錯
再苦的藥上面要包著糖衣沒錯

English: 
Just like we used to advocate the great mercy mantra in the prison.
even if you are sentenced to death,
as long as you read it devoutly,
it will help you to wash away sins and stains, avoid to be samsara. That's right.
I would like to ask Master Haitao
Have you ever immersed other types of music except Buddhist music?
Yes, I did
For example: when we used to educate in prison,
we had adapted and slightly remixed the song "The Moon Represents My Heart" ,
and "Tian Mi Mi", twisted lyrics by adding key word of current social events.
This will make positive impact and bright thought for prisoners.
This is very important. We call it to take across sentient beings universally with sound.
We should use sound as the media to do Buddhist work to attract more people.
This is something that has been done since ancient times.
Master Haitao means “Not just listening for nothing,
deliver the concept and mindfulness of the song when attracting people to listen
From music productions’ perspective, it’s understandable that you are making profit by creating music.
The more listener, the bigger market, the more money.
There is nothing wrong with this,
It's right to sugar coat the bitter medicine,

Chinese: 
但是吃糖沒有吃到藥就沒意思
你也可以談談你本身為什麼會去做音樂或是怎麼入這行的
其實我一開始會接觸做音樂這件事情
沒有什麼太特別
就是因為大學的時候
剛讀大學的時候 那時在宿舍滿無聊的
有時候就上網聽聽音樂
剛好那陣子電子音樂正要開始起來的時候聽到
我想說 嗯？ 這聽起來滿好聽的
那我也想要做做看 雖然我那時候沒有音樂的基礎
我就看了網路上很多的教學 就這樣開始玩起來了
所以像大悲咒 這是我滿早期在創作的時候做的一個嘗試
我是想說如果我要做改編的話
我需要的是一個乾淨的 vocal
就可能一位師父在唸大悲咒
但是是乾淨的
背面不要有其他的梵音音樂
不然我作的時候會比較難 會比較被影響到

English: 
But it's not fun to eat sugar without medicine.
You can also talk about why you make music or how you get your foot in the door of the music field.
In fact, I started out with music,
which is nothing special.
It's because when I was in college,as a freshman
I was bored in my dorm.
Sometimes I would listen to music on the Internet.
At that time, when electronic music was about to become popular, I solely listened to this type of music.
“huh? That sounds good” my first impression of electronic music.
So I also want to try it, although I didn't have the foundation of music at that time.
I watched a lot of video online, and I began to play and create music.
The Great Mercy Mantra, this was the first song in the very early beginning.
I mean, if I'm going to make music rearrangement,
what I need is a clean vocal.
Maybe a master is reciting The Great Mercy Mantra
But it's pure.
There is no other Sanskrit in the background music.
Otherwise, when I make music, I will be more difficult to put in, and I will be more affected.

English: 
At the beginning, in fact, when I first searched for The Great Mercy Mantra,I found the information of Master Haitao.
In one of the interviews, the master told a story.
At the end of the story, you told the first verse of the The Great Mercy Mantra:
"namo ratna-traya^ya."
I thought of using this as the intro of my song,
and then the listener could get into my song.
Then it came to the verse,
Because what I needed was a pure version,
I found the version of master QinceTang 's The Great Mercy Mantra version.
There were fast version and slow version.
So I decided to use the slow version.
If you listen to it quietly,
you can hear the sound of a muyu behind it.
The sound of "du du du du" is actually very consistent with the rhythm I made which is a good fit for my song.
 
On this basis,
I can add my piano part.

Chinese: 
所以一開始呢 我其實一開始找大悲咒的時候搜尋到的是海濤法師
在某一次的訪談內容中講了一段故事
那段故事最後面剛好接到你講了大悲咒的第一句經文
「南無喝囉怛那哆囉夜耶」
我就想說用這個當開頭
然後就可以進到我的歌裡面
後來到了主歌部分的時候
需要的是乾淨的版本 所以我去搜尋的時候
有找到勤策堂師父的大悲咒版本
那時候有快版跟慢版
於是我用了慢的那個版本
如果單獨聽它的話
那可以聽到它後面有一個木魚的聲音
在「兜兜兜兜兜兜」跟我做的歌曲其實是很契合的
那個節奏是很契合的
我就可以在這個基礎上
補上我的鋼琴的部分

English: 
Mainly because of the religious scriptures,
I think it needs to be more solemn and have some epic feeling in it.
So I added some vocal, which is similar to the chorus, as the background music.
And then maybe I'll add something more spiritual, like a muyu.
But it has a smart tone. It sounds like:
If you put the above elements together and listen it again:
When I listen to the music, I think you feel the same as me:
It's very nice.
And this music combines the traditional with the modern.
For example: the muyu represents the traditional, the piano represents the modern, and then mix with the electronic sound.
I think good things must be passed on through modernization.

Chinese: 
因為主要宗教的經文的話
我認為是需要再莊嚴一點 要有一些史詩感在裡面
所以我再補了一些類似合唱團的vocal在後面
然後可能 我會加一些比較空靈 類似像是木魚那種音色
但是是有音調在後面跑的 像這段聽起來是
如果合在一起聽的話
音樂我一聽 我想各位跟我感覺一樣
非常好聽
而且把傳統跟現代結合
傳統是木魚 現在是鋼琴 又加上後面的電音
我想好的東西必須透過現代化

English: 
For example:It's like eating something delicious, that's a good stuff.
It's the same with listening. The most sensitive thing is listening.
It's a good song. It's good when it's in your head.
Of course, The Great Mercy Mantra also has its power.
But I want to stress the point
that a person is lying bed when he is sick
What should you do?
You have to tell him that if you read this, it will relieve the pain:
"OM MANI PADME HUM"
He would like to read the great mercy mantra. People always attracted by strong visual and sound impact.
You can't ask him to read the Buddhist scriptures so that everyone will fall asleep.
So it's right that you make The Great Mercy Mantra better, more modern and younger.
It's helping young people release their pain.
At that time, many people wrote the following message: "I was overtaken after listening to it"
So listen to The Great Mercy Mantra has been released souls from suffering?
This is a fact, but many people think that overtaken belongs to the dead or ghost.
Overtaken is to let you get happiness from pain,
hope from disappointment, and light from darkness.
So reciting The Great Mercy Mantra is to cross your heart,
cross your luck, cross both dead and future.

Chinese: 
就像吃東西一樣 覺得好吃那就是好
聽也一樣 最敏感的就是聽
好聽了 它一裝進去就好
當然大悲咒也有祂的力量
不過我要強調一點
一個人生病的時候躺在那邊 怎麼辦
你就要想說 你就唸這個那就會比較不痛
「嗡嘛呢叭咪吽」
他就會喜歡 但是他要很強烈的影片跟聲音吸引他
你不能叫他讀佛經 大家都睡著
所以你把大悲咒弄得更好聽 更現代化 更年輕化 這是正確的
幫助年輕人的痛苦
那個時候我這首歌 有很多人下面留言說「聽完就被超渡了」
那聽大悲咒就是已經被超渡了？
這是事實 只是很多人把超渡認為是死掉的 或是鬼的超渡
超渡就是讓你從痛苦得到快樂
讓你從失望得到希望 從黑暗得到光明
所以唸大悲咒就是在超渡你的心
超渡你的運氣 超渡包括死掉的的可以超渡未來

Chinese: 
所以希望大家多唸大悲咒

English: 
So I hope we can read The Great Mercy Mantra more.
