律相感通傳 1.52

1.52

He replied: “The man was brilliant and adept at understanding the Mahāyāna, and all those below him were outstanding talents; they were the treasures of an era. Surpassing the future and illuminating the past, they were beyond what one could look up to [and reach]. Therefore, his translations made awakening and comprehension their foremost priority, grasping the intent of the Buddha's final entrustment. Moreover, he has been translating scriptures ever since the time of Vipaśyin Buddha.”
