一個修行人，今生、前世或累劫以來，難免造許多罪業，這些罪業及冤親債主，都會成為修行障道的惡緣。所以，不管修什麼法門，在佛前至誠禮佛拜懺，發露懺悔，都是必要的課程，可以減少種種魔障的干擾。
　　One who is practicing Buddha’s teachings would certainly have created bad karmas in this life or previous countless lives, and those karmic retributions and credits from past grievances or close relationships would negative conditions to impede your practice. Therefore, it is a necessary that the practitioner, regardless of what method they are practicing, must prostrate in front of the Buddha statue to repent their past harmful karma, which would help reduce the myriad of mara-hindrances.
