有宋之初,台教乃漸杭海入吳越,今世所傳三大部之類是也。然尚有留而不至,與夫至而非其本真者。《仁王經疏》先至有二本,眾咸斥其偽。昔法智既納日本信禪師所寄辟支佛髮,答其所問二十義,乃求其所謂《仁王經疏》。信即授諸海舶,無何,中流大風驚濤,舶人念無以息龍鼉之怒,遽投斯疏以慰安之。法智乃求強記者二僧,詣信所,讀誦以歸。不幸二僧死于日本國矣(此文見晁說之所作《仁王經疏.序》。此疏雖非本真,而此說不可亡矣)。
At the beginning of the Song dynasty, the Tiantai teachings gradually crossed the sea into Wu and Yue; what are transmitted in the present age as the Three Great Works and their like are these. Yet there were still those that remained and did not arrive, as well as those that arrived but were not authentic. Two versions of the Commentary on the Kāruṇikarāja Sūtra had arrived previously, and the congregation all rejected them as spurious. Formerly, after Fazhi received the pratyekabuddha hair sent by Chan Master Shin of Japan and answered the twenty points he had asked, he sought what Shin called the Commentary on the Kāruṇikarāja Sūtra. Shin then entrusted it to an ocean vessel. Soon, in mid-voyage, there arose heavy winds and terrifying waves; the crew, considering that they had nothing to appease the wrath of the dragons and alligators, hastily threw this commentary in to placate them. Fazhi then sought two monks of strong memory to go to Shin's place, memorize it through chanting, and return. Unfortunately, the two monks died in Japan. (This text appears in the 'Preface to the Commentary on the Kāruṇikarāja Sūtra' composed by Chao Shuozhi. Although this commentary was not authentic, this account cannot be allowed to perish.)
