國清百錄 2.44

2.44

As the golden wind governs the season and the jade dew tempers the climate, is your religious person well and at peace, practicing in comfort? The Dharma Master has elevated his aspirations on renowned mountains and lodged his mind in wisdom and concentration; the Dharma-gate brings quiet joy, and your precept-practice is thoroughly cultivated. Your glorious reputation is widely spread, and We have long heard of your virtuous name. Our admiration for your character has long accumulated, and Our yearning for the Way has grown arduous; We hope to rely on you as a boat and raft to part the clouds and mist. We have therefore dispatched an envoy to travel there and invite you, hoping you will make the light journey to enrich Our open heart. We await your arrival so that Our fond wishes may not be disappointed. Disciple Yang Guang bows his head.
