One advice from A Manual of Eastern Orthodox Prayers that has
proven invaluable when using any prayer book is:
If the time at disposal is short, and the need to begin
work is pressing, it is preferable to say only a few of the suggested
prayers, with attention and zeal, rather than to recite them all in
haste and without due concentration.
This new translation, which follows the Slavonic usage for the most
part, is freely distributable and
you are welcomed to adapt it according to your parish or individual
daily use. Various prayer books have been consulted in part including
the classical Chinese
Orthodox prayer book, the Jordanville
prayer book (both reprinted by Holy Trinity Monastery), A Prayer
Book for Orthodox Christians (pub. by Holy Transfiguration Monastery),
A Manual of Eastern Orthodox Prayers and others. If you are interested
in translating Orthodox liturgical text into modern Chinese or donating
a used prayer/liturgical book for this translation effort, please
