國清百錄 3.57

3.57

僧使灌頂、智璪至，覽十一月三日書，并陳靈龕應迹現形放光、彈指流音應念傳響，斯實不思議力，變化多方感悟有緣，示希有事，慎終追遠，感歎相深。在昔雙林示滅非滅，多寶獨塔俟時涌現，爰在狼迹迦葉分身，乃至鷲山迦文留影，眉毫散彩指端震室，豈非像教能度無邊。是大因緣聞善知識，永惟宿昔獲承師範，德音盈耳神光在目，方憑靈瑞係踵菩提，肅承靈誥宣慰南服。山眾法徒同志為友，會成等侶方共舟航，歲暮凝寒念皆道勝。天台名嶽海岸所推，修建大林多慚重閣，三時設供四事不周，想甘禪悅以同法喜，其間敬德信次相聞。今遣員外散騎侍郎張乾威，送僧使還山，於舊所設供，庶同甘露能變麁澁，亦憑香積證道融鎖。書不盡言反此無悉。楊廣和南。僧使灌頂等所領，今施物目。仁壽元年十二月十七日白。石香罏一具（并香合三枚），大銅鐘一口，鵄納袈裟一領，鵄納褊袒二領，四十九尺幡七口，黃綾裙一腰，氈二百領，絲布祇支二領，小幡一百口，和香二合，胡桃一籠，衣物三百段，奈[麩-夫+少]一合，石鹽一合，酥六瓶。

The monk envoys Guanding and Zhizao have arrived; I have read the letter of the third day of the eleventh month, which also recounted the spiritual shrine's responding traces—manifesting form and emitting light, snapping fingers and producing sound, resounding in response to thought. This is truly the inconceivable power transforming in many ways to inspire those with affinities, displaying a rare event; careful at the end and pursuing the distant, my deep emotional sighs are profound. In the past, at the Twin Trees, the manifestation of extinction was not extinction; the solitary Stūpa of Prabhūtaratna welled forth awaiting its time; at the Wolf-foot [mountain], Kāśyapa divided his body, and at Vulture Peak, Śākyamuni left his shadow. The light radiating from between the eyebrows and the finger-snapping shaking the room—how could the semblance teaching not be able to deliver boundlessly? Meeting a good spiritual friend is a great cause and condition; perpetually reflecting on having received your masterly model in the past, your virtuous voice fills my ears and your spiritual light is before my eyes. Now relying on these spiritual omens, I shall follow in the footsteps of bodhi, reverently receiving your spiritual admonitions and touring to comfort the southern regions. The mountain assembly and Dharma disciples are friends with the same purpose; gathered as equal companions, we share the boat and voyage together. In this cold freeze at year's end, I reflect that all of you excel in the Way. Mount Tiantai is a famous peak renowned across the seas; in constructing the great forest [monastery], I am much ashamed before the multi-storied pavilions. With offerings made in the three periods, the four requisites are not complete; I imagine you relish the joy of dhyāna to share in the delight of the Dharma, and meanwhile news of revering virtue and sending letters will continue. Now I dispatch the Supernumerary Cavalier Attendant Gentleman Zhang Qianwei to escort the monk envoys back to the mountain, to set up an offering at the old site, hoping it may, like sweet dew, transform the coarse and astringent, and relying on Xiangji [Fragrant Accumulation] to realize the fusion of the Way. A letter cannot exhaust my words, and apart from this, there are no details. Yang Guang bows in salutation. Itemized list of offerings now accepted by the monk envoys Guanding and others. Respectfully presented on the seventeenth day of the twelfth month of the first year of the Renshou era: One stone incense burner (together with three incense boxes), one large bronze bell, one patchwork kāṣāya robe of kite-colored cloth, two patchwork sleeveless vests of kite-colored cloth, seven banners of forty-nine feet, one yellow silk skirt, two hundred felt rugs, two silk cloth saṃkakṣikās, one hundred small banners, two boxes of blended incense, one basket of walnuts, three hundred bolts of clothing cloth, one box of dried apple grain, one box of rock salt, six jars of ghee.
