晨昏全賴佛扶持
雖是逢危不見危
若得貴人來接引
此時福祿自相隨
Dawn and dusk, you rest wholly on the Buddha's support.
Though you meet danger, you do not see danger.
If a person of standing comes to lead you on,
Then fortune and good living follow of themselves.
What this lot says
This verse pictures steady support, morning and evening, so that danger passes without quite being felt as danger. The danger is still there.
Two things do the work here: a daily practice that holds you up, and a person of standing who takes you by the hand. The verse makes the second conditional with the word if.
During a hard stretch at work or in a family matter, keep a routine that steadies you, whatever form that takes. Be ready to accept a mentor's or a friend's help when it is offered, and ask for it when it is not.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The story behind it
Tang Sanzang attains the Way (唐僧得道)
Tang Sanzang, the fictional monk modeled on the historical pilgrim Xuanzang, passes through one peril after another in the classic novel of his pilgrimage and is made the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit at its end. He is a natural match for a lot about danger passed with help.
