江給事請開佛光明,師執筆云:「教中道:『清淨慈門剎塵數,共生如來一妙相,一一諸相莫不然,是故見者無厭足。』又道:『如來眼有大人相,名自在普見雲,以眾妙寶而為莊嚴,摩尼寶光清淨瑩徹,普見一切皆無障礙。』既然如是,為甚麼却要他人點眼?還有道得底麼?若也道得,非獨為黃面老子出氣,亦使遍法界眾生悉沾利益;若道不得,聽取一頌:『舉頭忽覩明星現,因茲眼病見空華。』」遂以筆點云:「今日還渠舊光彩,碧眸炯炯照塵沙。」

Requested by Supervising Secretary Jiang to open the light of the Buddha, the Master took up a brush and said: "The teachings say: 'Pure compassion-gates, numerous as dust motes in the lands, together bring forth the Tathāgata's single wondrous mark; each and every mark is just so, therefore those who behold them never tire.' They also say: 'The Tathāgata's eyes possess the mark of a great man, called the Cloud of Sovereign Universal Vision, adorned with a multitude of wondrous gems; the mani-jewel light is pure, clear, and thoroughly transparent, beholding all things universally without hindrance.' Since it is like this, why does he still need another person to dot his eyes? Is there anyone who can speak? If you can speak, not only will you vent the breath of the yellow-faced old fellow, but you will also cause all sentient beings throughout the dharmadhātu to partake in the benefit; if you cannot speak, listen to this verse: 'Raising the head, suddenly seeing the morning star appear; / due to this, with eye-disease, seeing flowers in the sky.'" Thereupon, dotting with the brush, he said: "Today we restore to him his former radiance; / dark pupils shining bright, illuminating dust and sand."
