廬山蓮宗寶鑑 10.70

10.70

裂蓋網、出愛河，破無明、超有漏，惟念佛法門為最。苟不越一念而契證，則塵沙剎海廓然歸乎。智照無東西之間、淨穢之殊，四生九有咸入神通大光□藏。自遠祖立教，見聞薰修獲益者，不可周知而悉數也。嗟乎去古時遙、法久成弊，優曇老師終見不平，集大藏要文群賢明迹，曰蓮宗寶鑑，親捧綸音流通于世，真萬古不易之論。俾後之學者鑑斯文、具正見，同遊常寂光土。豈小補哉！歲甲寅正月旦日廬山無住道人竺源永盛　拜手。

Rending the net of hindrances, emerging from the river of craving, shattering ignorance, and transcending the defiled—the Dharma gate of buddhānusmṛti alone is supreme. If one directly tallies with realization without exceeding a single thought, then the seas of lands numerous as dust and sand vastly return [to unity]. The illumination of wisdom knows no separation between east and west, nor distinction between pure and defiled; the four modes of birth and the nine realms of existence all enter the great luminous […] treasury of spiritual powers. Since the founding Patriarch Yuan established the teaching, those who have gained benefit through seeing, hearing, and cultivating cannot be fully known or numbered. Alas, antiquity is far removed, and the Dharma has long suffered decline; Master Youtan ultimately could not bear the injustice, and collected essential texts from the great canon and the clear tracks of the worthies into the *Precious Mirror of the Lotus School*, personally carrying the imperial decree to circulate it in the world—truly a treatise unchangeable for ten thousand ages. It enables future students to reflect upon this text, possess correct views, and roam together in the Land of Eternally Quiescent Light. How could this be a small benefit? On the first day of the first month, the *jiayin* year [1314 CE], respectfully written by Zhuyuan Yongsheng, the Daoist of Non-Abiding on Mount Lu.
