國清百錄 4.46

4.46

吾祖智者大禪師，實靈山再來之人也。道傳三觀悟自一心，恢張龍猛正宗、幽贊法華祕典，判釋以五時八教、歸趣以三觀十乘，縱辯宣揚不立文字，章安結集留逗後緣。其如解行證入之人，不知其幾千萬眾。諸部板刻布在諸方，唯《國清百錄》，昨因魔火燔毀，直至于今，彌歷年深，所未諧圓就。今令行者曇岑遍求道俗，不憚苦辛，誠心不虛遂圓部帙，庶得以廣見聞，傳諸永遠。則可以知吾祖道大名重，皇臣化迹始終宛如。目擊遂盡禮至恭敬覽始末，云爾。時聖宋淳熙十二年歲次乙巳結制日。白蓮住山戒應謹題。

Our ancestor, the Great Dhyāna Master Zhizhe, was truly a person who came again from Gṛdhrakūṭa. The Way he transmitted, the threefold contemplation, was awakened from the one mind; he broadened the correct lineage of Nāgārjuna, and profoundly extolled the esoteric canon of the Lotus. He divided and explained it through the five periods and eight teachings, and brought it to its ultimate aim through the threefold contemplation and ten vehicles. Freely eloquent in proclamation, he did not establish written words; Zhang'an compiled them, leaving them to tarry for future conditions. As for those who understood, practiced, and verified entry, I do not know how many tens of millions they were. The carved blocks of his various works are distributed in all directions; only the Guoqing bailu was destroyed yesterday by Māra's fire, lasting until now over deep and accumulated years, without being completed or accomplished. Now, the practitioner Tancen was ordered to seek widely among monastics and laypeople, not shrinking from bitter toil; his sincere mind was not in vain, and he finally made the work whole, hoping that it may broaden what is seen and heard, and be transmitted to eternity. Thus one can know that our ancestor's Way was vast and his renown weighty, and that his transformative traces among sovereigns and ministers were consistent from beginning to end. Having witnessed this, I have fully observed the rites and most reverently perused the beginning and end; so it is said. At the time of the retreat-settling day in the yisi year, the twelfth year of the Chunxi era of the holy Song. Reverently inscribed by Jieying, residing on the mountain at Bailian.
