淨土之旨，無善惡、無取舍、無靜亂、無男女，一念真正，決定往生。或者置疑於其間，先佛豈不能也？柳子厚東海若，是亦子莊子亡羊之詞，吾能自信不疑，何慮淨土之不生也。為普照書此，為來者勸。紹熙五年三月望，橘洲老衲（寶曇）敬書。

The essential purport of the Pure Land is without good or evil, without grasping or rejecting, without stillness or turmoil, without male or female; if a single thought is genuine and upright, rebirth is decisively assured. Should someone harbor doubts about this—could the ancient buddhas be incapable of it? Liu Zihou's "The God of the Eastern Sea" is also akin to Master Zhuang's words on losing the sheep. If I can have self-confidence without doubt, why worry about not being reborn in the Pure Land? Written for Puzhao, to encourage those to come. On the full moon of the third month in the fifth year of the Shaoxi era, respectfully written by the Old Patch-robed Monk of Juzhou (Baotan).
