贊曰:第五聞興善念念三寶也。佛義如前。法者梵語達摩,此翻云法,法即執持物解也,謂即四諦、十二因緣、六度。僧者梵云僧伽,此名為眾,和合義也,謂身和共住、語和無諍、意和無違、戒和同修、見和同止、利和同均,具此六和故名僧也。皆可重故名為三寶。鳥傳妙法、人發勝心,念三寶之芳名、消百生之障累。

Praise: Fifth, upon hearing, generating good thoughts and recollecting the Three Jewels. The meaning of 'Buddha' is as explained above. 'Dharma' is in Sanskrit dharma, here translated as 'teaching' (fa); dharma means upholding and grasping an understanding of things, which refers to the four truths, the twelve links of dependent origination, and the six perfections. 'Saṅgha' is in Sanskrit saṅgha, here called 'assembly' (zhong), meaning harmonious union: bodily harmony in dwelling together, verbal harmony without dispute, mental harmony without discord, moral harmony in common practice, doctrinal harmony in shared views, and material harmony in equal distribution. Possessing these six harmonies, it is called a 'saṅgha'. Because all are worthy of reverence, they are called the 'Three Jewels'. The birds transmit the wondrous Dharma, and people arouse supreme aspirations, recollecting the fragrant names of the Three Jewels and dissolving the obstructive burdens of a hundred lifetimes.
