龍舒王虛中日休，博覽群書之餘，留心佛乘，以利人為己任，真火中蓮也。佛言：「自未得度，先度人者，菩薩發心。自覺已圓，能覺他者，如來應世。」（予）嘉其志，為題其後。若見自性之彌陀，即了唯心之淨土。未能如是，則虛中為此文功不唐捐矣。庚辰八月二十日，書于劉景文懶窠云。雙徑妙喜（宗杲）跋。

Wang Xuzhong Rixiu of Longshu, in his leisure from broadly reading various texts, devoted his attention to the Buddha Vehicle and took benefiting others as his personal responsibility; he is truly a lotus in the fire. The Buddha said: “To deliver others before one has delivered oneself is the initial aspiration of a bodhisattva. To have fully perfected self-awakening and be able to awaken others is the Tathāgata's responding to the world.” I commend his resolve, and have written this at the end. If one sees the Amitābha of one's self-nature, one immediately understands the Pure Land of mind-only. If one is not yet able to do so, then Xuzhong's merit in composing this text will not have been in vain. Written on the twentieth day of the eighth month of the gengchen year, at the Lazy Nest of Liu Jingwen. Postscript by Miaoxi [Zonggao] of Shuangjing.
