瑜伽師地論略纂 1.2

1.2

敬禮天人大覺尊，福德智慧皆圓滿，
無上文義真妙法，正智受學賢聖僧。
稽首無勝大慈氏，普為利益諸有情，
廣採眾經真要義，略說五分瑜伽者。
歸命法流妙定力，發起無著功德名，
能於聖者無勝海，引出最極法甘露。
頂禮能見智燈滅，重然法炬照群萌，
等注無窮字花雨，榮潤牟尼如意樹。
歸讚我本親教尊，不悋軀命求法者，
飡受自滿昇知足，復遺饒益我等類。
此論殊勝若蓮花，猶如寶藏如大海，
具顯諸乘廣大義，善釋其文無有遺。
於此瑜伽大義中，我今隨力釋少分，
為令正法常無盡，利益安樂諸含識。

I pay homage to the Greatly Awakened Honoured One of devas and humans, / Whose merits and wisdom are completely perfected; / To the unsurpassed true and sublime Dharma of letter and meaning; / And to the community of worthy and noble [saṅgha] who train in and uphold correct wisdom. / I bow my head to the Invincible One, the Greatly Compassionate Maitreya, / Who, universally to benefit all sentient beings, / Extensively gathered the true essential meanings of numerous sūtras / And concisely taught the five divisions of the Yogācāra. / I take refuge in the power of the sublime samādhi of the flow of Dharma, / Which gave rise to the meritorious renown of Asaṅga, / Who was able, from the ocean of the noble, invincible one, / To draw forth the utmost nectar of the Dharma. / I prostrate to the lamp of wisdom, seeing it extinguished, / Who rekindled the torch of Dharma to illuminate the myriad beings, / Equally pouring down an inexhaustible rain of letter-blossoms, / Flourishing and nourishing the wish-fulfilling tree of the Muni. / I take refuge in and praise my original instructing master, / Who, unsparing of life and limb, sought the Dharma, / Nourished and satisfied himself, ascended to Tuṣita, / And moreover bequeathed benefit to our kind. / This treatise is supreme like a lotus flower, / Like a treasure store, like the great ocean; / It fully reveals the vast meanings of all the vehicles, / Well explaining their texts without leaving anything out. / From within these great meanings of the Yogācāra, / I now, according to my ability, explain a small part, / In order to make the true Dharma endure forever without end, / Benefiting and bringing peace and happiness to all sentient beings.
