密菴和尚語錄 1.115

1.115

淳熙四年五月初十日，恭奉聖旨，就景德靈隱禪寺開堂。皇帝遣中使降賜御香，師謝恩，捧香示眾云：「御寶親封，君王頒賜，不是人間薰陸，亦非海外旃檀。持來價重娑婆，爇處為祥為瑞。光揚佛日，仰贊皇圖，山河大地，發歡喜心，蠢動含靈，普薰正見。」

On the tenth day of the fifth month in the fourth year of the Chunxi era, in respectful obedience to an imperial decree, the hall was opened at the Jingde Lingyin Chan Monastery. The Emperor dispatched an imperial envoy to confer imperial incense. The Master expressed gratitude for the imperial favour, held up the incense, showed it to the assembly, and said: "Personally sealed with the imperial insignia, bestowed by the Sovereign—it is not worldly frankincense, nor is it sandalwood from beyond the seas. Brought forth, its value outweighs the Sahā world; where it burns, it brings good omens and auspiciousness. May it illuminate the Buddha-sun, reverently praise the imperial realm, cause the mountains, rivers, and the great earth to give rise to joyful minds, and cause all wriggling and crawling sentient beings to be universally perfumed with right view."
