四明尊者教行錄 7.19

7.19

大雄覺世垂微言，磅礴日月周乾坤，
智者才辯窮化元，時為演說開迷昏。
八萬總結河沙塵，俱入天台止觀門，
法智遠出揚清芬，游戲三昧真軼群。
志堅氣直貌且溫，少而敏悟老益勤，
遺旨從衡深討論，消文釋義雖繽紛。
辭淳理妙簡不煩，或懺或講忘晡昕，
邇遐學徒日駿奔，成等正覺消波旬。
俾諸佛祖道彌尊，如流已清濬其源，
如葉已茂培其根，行高名重上國間。
天子遣使來中閽，賢豪勳戚固所忻，
命服錫號迴天恩，知身變滅如浮雲。
誓勇棄舍甘趨焚，素願莫適仍修熏，
眾生嗜好隨貪瞋，三塗轉徙如膏輪。
有能頓悟報施因，罪福苦樂岐以分，
說本無說誰其人，師心了了所夙敦。
言能破妄寧非真，身雖云亡今常存，
江浙蕃蕃其子孫，詔億萬世觀斯文。

The Great Hero, awakened to the world, bequeathed subtle words, / boundless as the sun and moon, encompassing heaven and earth. / Zhizhe's eloquence and discernment exhausted the origin of transformation, / from time to time expounding to open the eyes of the deluded and unenlightened. / The eighty thousand teachings, comprehensively bound, are like the grains of river sand; / all enter the Tiantai gateway of calming and contemplation. / Fazhi emerged from afar to spread the pure fragrance, / sporting in samādhi, truly surpassing the multitude. / His resolve was firm, his spirit upright, and his countenance gentle; / keen and perceptive in youth, he grew ever more diligent in old age. / The bequeathed teachings he thoroughly and profoundly discussed; / although unwrapping the text and explaining the meaning were manifold, / his phrasing was pure, the principle wondrous, concise and free of complication. / Now repenting, now lecturing, he forgot sunset and dawn; / disciples from near and far dashed forward daily like swift steeds, / realizing equal and right awakening, dispelling Pāpīyas. / He made the Way of all buddhas and patriarchs ever more revered; / like a stream already clear, he dredged its source; / like foliage already lush, he nourished its roots. / His conduct was exalted and his name celebrated in the imperial capital; / the Son of Heaven dispatched envoys from the inner palace. / The worthy, heroic, meritorious, and imperial in-laws certainly rejoiced; / bestowed robes and granted titles returned the celestial grace. / Knowing the body undergoes transformation and destruction like floating clouds, / he bravely vowed to cast it aside and willingly hurried toward the flames; / his pristine aspiration not yet fulfilled, he still cultivated the perfumes of practice. / The predilections of sentient beings follow greed and wrath, / drifting through the three evil destinies like a greasy wheel. / If there is one who can suddenly awaken to the cause of recompense and giving, / offenses and blessings, suffering and bliss, bifurcate into separate paths. / As for preaching that essentially has no preaching, who was such a person? / The Master's mind was lucid, anchored long ago in sincerity. / Words that can shatter delusion—how could they not be the truth? / Though his body is said to have perished, now he endures forever; / his descendants are flourishing throughout Jiangzhe; / may this writing be viewed for hundreds of millions of generations.
