觀心論疏 1.40

1.40

「稽首十方佛」下有四行偈，明歸請。何者？夫欲造論，必須歸三寶，加威建立。

Beginning from 'I bow my head to the Buddhas of the ten directions,' there are four lines of verse that explain taking refuge and making entreaties. Why is this? Whenever one wishes to compose a treatise, one must take refuge in the Three Jewels and rely on their majestic empowerment to establish it.
