大乘玄論 5.15

5.15

晨旦名德，法諱吉藏，歷劫仕佛，
三論顯揚。深奧宗義，末世如忘，
先師悲此，專懷感傷。彼遷化後，
屢送星霜，弘安聖曆，第三初商。
一十三歲，忌景云當，為資追福，
大乘玄章。謹開印板，以耀餘光，
納清瀧宮，法樂增莊。不圖斯印，
回祿遭殃，醍醐學侶，不耐愁腸。
衣鉢各投，論文再彰，攝嶺雲盡，
八不月涼。金陵風扇，一實華芳，
所生慧業，迴向無彊。萬乘聖化，
德褊三皇，四海靜謐，慶暨百王。
七世恩所，佛道增長，廣施群類，
利益堂堂。

A person of illustrious virtue in the Eastern Land, whose Dharma name was Jizang, / Served the Buddha through successive kalpas, / Exalting and propagating the Sanlun.
Its profound and esoteric cardinal tenets / Were as if forgotten in the final age;
Our former master grieved over this, / Exclusively harboring sorrowful lament.
After his transformation and passing, / Repeatedly the stars and frosts passed by.
In the holy era of Kōan, / At the beginning of the third autumn,
When thirteen years / Of memorial days arrived,
To assist in seeking posthumous merit, / For these profound chapters of the Mahāyāna,
Printing blocks were reverently carved, / To illuminate its remaining light,
Enshrined in Seiryō-gū,
Where the joy of Dharma was augmented and adorned.
Unexpectedly, these printing blocks / Suffered the calamity of fire;
The scholarly companions of Daigo / Could not endure their grieving hearts.
Each contributed robes and almsbowls, / That the text of the treatise might shine forth once more.
The clouds over Mount She have vanished, / The moon of the eight negations is cool;
The breeze of Jinling fans outward, / The blossom of the One Reality is fragrant.
May the karmic wisdom generated / Be dedicated without limit:
May the holy transformation of the Emperor / Have virtue surpassing the Three Sovereigns;
May the four seas be tranquil and peaceful, / With congratulations extending to a hundred kings;
May the realm of gratitude of seven lifetimes / Cause the Buddha Path to increase and grow;
Universally bestowed upon all beings, / May the benefits be vast and magnificent.
