國清百錄 3.3

3.3

Your disciple Zongchi pays homage. Receiving your order sending the first roll of the Commentary on the Meaning, I knelt to receive the Dharma-jewel and perused its general outlines; its inner and outer siddhāntas are things my ears had never heard before, so I know Nāgārjuna acted in place of the Buddha in an inconceivable way. As for the present composition, mortal eyes have not yet fathomed its light and darkness; I shall respectfully study and investigate it further, looking forward to meeting you face-to-face. Respectfully paying homage.
