勅修百丈清規 8.68

8.68

咸淳三尊宿。一山。晦機。皆余所師敬。獨不識雲屋翁。而讀其景睦堂詩卷。然後識雲屋之深也。三老皆欲修清規立一代典章。而其徒必能嗣成之。則視其操世之柄。而視所以維世之具。為不相及。豈不有愧耶。延祐丙辰冬。因遊智者古剎。覩是有感。因題于後。杜本。

The three venerable elders of the Xianchun era—Yishan and Huiji—are both masters whom I revere; only Yunweng I never met, yet upon reading his Jingmutang Poetry Scrolls, I came to recognize how profound Yunweng was. All three old masters wished to revise the pure rules to establish the institutions of a generation, and their disciples will surely be able to carry it through to completion; yet when one looks at those who wield the levers of the world and observes the means by which they uphold the world, they do not measure up to this—how could they not feel ashamed? In the winter of the bingchen year of the Yanyou era (1316), while touring the ancient monastery of Zhizhe, I had these reflections upon seeing this, and accordingly inscribed them at the end. Du Ben.
