國清百錄 4.14

4.14

龍圖畫卦，裁萌五典，金輪拯溺，
止弘十善。豈若我皇，樹功宏緬，
還源本淨，歸途今顯。鏡鑑先哲，
筌蹄何淺，天造草昧，日月斯昇。
高山巨海，或影或澄，虎嘯風起，
龍躍雲興。至人幾漸，養正遵承，
謙尊本裕，師範推膺。隻誰允矣，
具瞻克勝，熏禪觀寂，如冬靖凝。
精義泉涌，如春泮水，我有匠石，
正直從繩。我有律濟，舟檝斯憑，
虔臨拳拳，悅受兢兢。能資萬行，
混成一乘，六反震動，十方歎稱。
同聲相應，信而有徵，至誠感神，
道合符契。淵乎智者，波瀾靡際，
帝師既沃，天台還憩。于山之阿，
于川之澨，滄溟浩瀚，峯崖迢遞。
日浴扶桑，月穿叢桂，上踵婺采，
傍通禹計。素湍風激，赤城霞曳，
仁智肥遯，山林虧蔽。無言不酬，
既符聲響，無德不報，有均景象。
初卜菴蘿，歸誠戀仰，顯允光師，
久要長往。非皦若昧，鏡形如曩，
寺號國清，靈扉潛敞。孰意我師，
遽緣安養，龍樓夙記，鶴關無爽。
宸居在昔，哀搆祇園，令終如始，
師嚴道尊。揆日方畫，覘星正昏，
置槷崇趾，削屢成垣。巖分蓮蕚，
泉毖桃源，仙窓夏冷，禪室冬溫。
玉階馴豹，金剎棲鵷，風和寶鐸，
空轉珠幡。百穀時秀，萬里林繁，
靈芝禪悅，甘露天鐏。玉趾按地，
淨域驚魂，金布貿苑，天宮儼存。
創造之福，胡可勝原，輪奐洞徹，
莊嚴修設。波斯融冶，優填剞劂，
金容月滿，玉毫霜潔。象譯翻度，
龍宮披閱，法嗣詵然，端心障滅。
泰階既平，王道既清，殊途同致，
無慮何營。皇思睿賾，邃達忘情，
有本空淨，空常有并。壇戒度重，
定慧真精，乾臨朗鑑，遠供憑誠，
大眾香灑，拜闕龕楹，全身座間，
嚴扃網縈。迦葉佛隴，賢劫齊聲，
飯僧數溢，瑞我隆平。身田雨潤，
心樹華榮，現在同植，將來共成，
有如懸鏡，反照今生，有如圭昃，
曾不虧盈。神力自在，遊戲香城，
菩提具足，赫赫明明。

The Dragon Chart delineated the trigrams, but only sprouted the Five Canons;
The golden wheel salvages the drowning, but merely promotes the ten good deeds.
How could they compare to our Emperor, whose achievements are immense and far-reaching?
Returning to the source of original purity, the way back is now made manifest.
Using the ancient sages as a mirror, how shallow were their fish traps and rabbit snares!
When Heaven created the primeval chaos, the sun and moon then arose;
In high mountains and vast seas, shadows cast or waters clarify.
When tigers roar, winds arise; when dragons leap, clouds soar.
The consummate man perceives the subtle springs of action, cultivating uprightness and dutifully complying;
Humble yet venerable, originally abundant, he was chosen and hailed as an exemplar.
Who indeed was truly fitting? One looked up to by all, fully capable of prevailing.
Perfumed with dhyāna, contemplating stillness, he was tranquil and settled as winter;
Subtle meanings surged like springs, like ice melting in spring waters.
We possessed a Master Shi, who followed the plumb-line with rectitude;
We possessed a raft of the vinaya, upon whose oars and rudders we could rely.
Reverently approaching with single-minded devotion, joyfully receiving with vigilance and awe.
Able to support the ten thousand practices, uniting them into the One Vehicle;
The six kinds of quaking shook [the earth], and the ten directions praised and extolled.
Like voices responding in harmony, faithfully fulfilled with proof;
Utmost sincerity moved the spirits, and the Way matched as tally and seal.
How profound was the Master of Wisdom! His ripples and waves knew no bounds.
After watering and nurturing the Imperial Preceptor, he returned to rest at Tiantai.
At the bend of the mountain, by the shores of the river,
The vast ocean is immense and boundless; the peaks and cliffs are lofty and distant.
The sun bathes in the Fusang tree; the moon pierces the clustered osmanthus;
Above, he matched the glory of the Ladle star; alongside, he reached King Yu's designs.
White torrents are whipped by the wind; Mount Chicheng trails rosiness like mist.
The benevolent and wise retired in abundance; the mountains and forests shielded and concealed.
No words remain unanswered, truly matching the echo;
No virtue remains unrequited, equal to the mirror-image.
At first divining a dwelling at the mango grove, full of sincere reliance and yearning;
Illustrious and luminous Master Guang, faithfully committed to distant journeying.
Neither bright nor dark, his mirror-form remained as before;
The monastery was named Guoqing, its sacred doors opening imperceptibly.
Who would have thought our Master would so quickly follow the causes to the Land of Peace?
The Dragon Tower had an early record; the Crane Pass brooked no error.
The imperial dwelling was of old, sorrowfully erecting the Jetavana;
A fine ending matched the beginning, the master revered and the Way honored.
Measuring the sun's shadow to mark the quadrants, watching the stars to correct the dusk;
Setting pegs to elevate the foundations, paring layers of earth to form the walls.
Cliffs parted like lotus petals; springs gushed like the Peach Spring.
Fairy-like windows cool in summer, dhyāna chambers warm in winter.
Tamed panthers on the jade steps; simurghs roosting on the golden spire.
Gentle breezes harbingered precious bells; skyward twirled pearl banners.
The hundred grains ripen in season; for ten thousand miles forests thrive.
Lingzhi mushrooms and the joy of dhyāna; heavenly vases of sweet dew.
When the jade foot pressed the earth, the pure realm startled the soul;
Gold spread to purchase the park; the heavenly palace serenely stands.
The merit of this creation—how could its source ever be exhausted?
Its architecture is magnificent and transparent, fully adorned and arrayed.
Persian casting and smelting; King Udayana's fine carving.
The golden countenance is full as the moon; the jade curl [of white hair] pure as frost.
Translated through elephant-drawn carts; unfurled and perused in the Dragon Palace.
Dharma heirs assembled in abundance, upright in mind, their hindrances annihilated.
The Three Steps are now leveled, the King's Way is now cleared;
Diverse paths lead to the same goal; without anxious thought, what need to strive?
The imperial mind is wise and profound, deeply penetrating and oblivious to worldly passion.
Being is rooted in emptiness and purity; emptiness and constancy exist side by side.
The precepts on the platform are received with repeated vows; samādhi and wisdom are true and pure.
Heaven's survey provides a luminous mirror; distant offerings rely on sincerity.
The great assembly scatters fragrance, paying homage before the shrine columns;
Within the seat of his whole body, securely barred, wrapped in nets.
Like Mahākāśyapa on Mount Kukkuṭapāda, resounding through the Auspicious Kalpa;
The number of monks fed overflowed, an auspicious sign of our grand peace.
Fields of the body are moistened by rain; trees of the mind bloom in glory.
Planted together in the present, to be perfected together in the future.
Like a suspended mirror, reflecting back upon this life;
Like a sundial and jade tablet, never waxing or waning.
With spiritual powers unimpeded, disporting in the City of Fragrance,
Bodhi fully perfected, resplendent and radiant.
