這是長聖出版的第一本中英對照善書，編輯內容與排版是以海外道親為主，把《彌勒救苦真經》以每七字分段解說，加以
注音（方便道親跟隨唸讀或唱）、逐字簡單中英對照，然後再用英語把整句意思翻出，如下：
佛說彌勒救苦經(Fo Shuo Mi Le Jiu Ku Jing) 佛 Fo = Buddha, 說 Shuo = speaks, 彌勒 Mi-Le = Maitreya Biddha, 救 Jiu = saving,
苦 Ku = pain and suffering, 經 Jing = sutra 《The Mi-Le Buddha speaks of the Sutra on Mi-Le's salvation》
遇有專有名詞也會以footnote (註解)方式詳細介紹，譬如‘齊魯’是那個地方？為何稱此地為‘靈山地’？也會詳細解說‘拈花’這個佛家
典故。有了這本書，海外帶班人員可以分段詳說此部經典，班員也可自我研習或擇篇練講。
開頭的《序言》也有兩端簡單介紹金公祖師出處，及此真經的來源與時間(1926)地點(山東濟寧)，是為金雞初唱。這有助於道親對此經的
殊勝與不同處有更深的認識。

Ku’ or ‘Rescuing of Sufferings’ and thus the English title of this book and sutra.
