佛祖統紀 50.11

50.11

靈山一席儼在天台。後十三葉復生奇才。唱道四明講肆宏開。溥海聲聞谹谹雲雷。章聖在御中使鼎來。得法大旨皇皇恢恢。錫號法智宸章昭回。抵今後學咸仰崔嵬。蘭馨菊芳本一根荄。嗚呼是為法宇之柱石。教鼎之鹽梅。宜茲幻影。歷千古而無塵埃。

The single assembly on Vulture Peak was solemnly present on Tiantai; / After thirteen generations, an extraordinary talent was born once more. / Proclaiming the Way in Siming, the lecture halls were opened wide; / His fame spread across the vast seas, resounding like clouds and thunder. / Emperor Zhangsheng was on the throne when imperial emissaries arrived in succession; / Attaining the great purport of the Dharma, magnificent and vast. / Bestowed the title Fazhi, the imperial writing shone brilliantly; / Down to the present, later students all look up to his towering height. / Fragrant orchids and sweet chrysanthemums spring from the same root; / Ah, he was the pillar and foundation of the Dharma palace, the salt and plum of the cauldron of the teachings. / Fittingly, this phantom likeness / Has endured a thousand ages without a speck of dust.
