瑜伽論記 24.366

24.366

李唐遁倫大德，覃精瑜伽，撰此論記，前修之美，獨造之蘊，集而大成者也。區區闒茸，何須讚一辭耶！然斯書存世僅僅可數，而祕名山古剎，則轉罕傳而見者。予往者懇求，謄錄一本，敬藏篋笥，但久歷年所，文字訛舛，非無憾焉！後得稱慈心藏本者，三復校讎取正不少，既而獨嘆，如斯法寶流行不廣何也！蓋以吾輩自私與學者，憚繕寫之艱也，遂興鄙懷圖之印布，劂生側聞樂拭梨棗，於是不顧寡陋，輒副國讀于字句傍，其所校正者，不敢妄刪訂原文，標之格頂，稍可疑者圈之字傍，俟覽者之采擇，豕渡蠧傷，猶有不安者，後君子幸鑒定焉。

The Great Virtuous Dunlun of the Li Tang dynasty, having deeply investigated the Yogācāra, composed this Record on the Śāstra; it gathers the excellences of previous masters and the deep realizations of unique genius, bringing them to great completion. How could an insignificant and crude person such as myself need to praise it with a single word! Yet copies of this book remaining in the world can be counted on one's fingers, and being kept secret in famous mountains and ancient monasteries, it has become ever rarer to transmit and see. Formerly, I earnestly sought it out, transcribed a copy, and respectfully stored it in my book chest; but after many years, characters became corrupted and erroneous, not without regret! Later, having obtained the copy called the Ci-xin-zang edition, I collated and corrected it three times, resolving not a few errors. Thereupon I sighed to myself: why is such a Dharma-treasure not widely circulated? It must be because our generation is selfish, and students dread the hardship of copying it out by hand. I then gave rise to the humble intention of planning its printing and distribution. An engraver, hearing of this from the side, was delighted to wipe the pear and date blocks. Thereupon, regardless of my limited learning, I appended the Japanese reading marks beside the words and phrases. Where corrections were made, not daring to rashly delete or alter the original text, I marked them at the top of the columns; those that were slightly doubtful were circled beside the characters, awaiting selection by readers. As for errors like mistaking 'shi' for 'du' or worm damage, where some unease still remains, may later noble persons kindly examine and determine them.
