2.244

謂已果昔日棄世之念,又遇法社上妙軌範,感心奇託之誠皎然不欺,唯指日月可以銘記之。至,到也,亦擬《春秋》諸侯盟誓之辭。中吳源公云:「誠心銘刻,明如日月。」瑤本「至」作「志」,甚通。

This means that he has already accomplished his past intention to renounce the world, and furthermore encountered the supremely wondrous models of the Dharma society; the sincerity of his admiring trust is gleaming and undeceived, pointing to the sun and moon to inscribe it. "To reach" (至) means to arrive; it also mimics the phrasing of the covenant oaths of the feudal lords in the Spring and Autumn Annals. Master Yuan of Zhongwu said: "His sincere heart is inscribed, as bright as the sun and moon." The Yao text has "aspiration" (志) for "to reach" (至), which is very clear.
