（三十五　壬辰）　潤州鶴林寺徑山大師玄素卒。左補闕李華製碑。其略曰。嗚呼菩提位中六十一夏。父母之生八十五年。赴哀泣者可思量否。至有浮江而奠望寺而哭。十里花雨四天香雲。幡幢蓋網光蔽日月。以其月二十一日。四眾等號捧全身建塔于黃鶴山西原。象法也。州伯邑宰執喪師之禮率申哀慕。江湖震悼。曩於寺內移居高松互偃。涅槃之夕猗桐雙枯。虎狼哀號聲破山谷。人祇慘慟天地晦冥。及發隱登原風雨如掃。慈鳥覆野靈鶴徊翔。有情無情德至皆感。門人法鏡法海。親奉微言繕崇龕座。菩薩戒弟子故吏部侍郎齊翰。故刑部尚書張均。故江東採訪使劉日正。故廣東都督梁昇。故潤州刺史徐嶠韋昭理。故給事中韓延賞。故御史中丞李丹。道流人望莫盛於此。弟子嘗聞道於徑山。猶樂正子春之於夫子也。洗心瞻仰天漢彌高。鏡公門人悟甚深者。大理評事楊詣過去聖賢諸功德藏。志之所至無不聞知。魯史從告。況乎傳信。其文曰。濁金清鏡在爾銷鍊。磨之瑩之功至乃見。膏漬注然光明外遍。陽升律應草木皆變。啟迪瘖瞽唯吾大師。息言成教捨法興悲。辰極不動風波自移。境由心寂道與人隨。沓然玄默湛入無為。性本非垢云何淨除。身心宴寂大極淪胥。內光無盡萬境同如。甘露正味琉璃妙器。遍施大千無同無異。度未度者化周緣備。道樹忽枯涅槃時至。我生無滅隨世緣因。吉祥殿上應化諸天。寂寂靈塔滔滔逝川恒沙劫壞智月常圓。

> (\[Year\] thirty-five, renhui \[752 CE\]) Master Xuan su of Helin Temple in Runzhou, \[also known as Great Master\] Jingshan, passed away. Left Reminder Li Hua composed an inscription for him, which said in brief: "Alas! Sixty-one summers in the rank of Bodhi; eighty-five years of life from father and mother. Can those who came to weep in sorrow be counted? Some even drifted across the river to make offerings, or wept looking toward the monastery from afar. For ten li flowers rained down, and through the four skies fragrant clouds drifted. Banners, pennants, canopies, and nets veiled the radiance of the sun and moon. On the twenty-first day of that month, the fourfold assembly, weeping aloud, carried his whole body and erected a stūpa on the western plateau of Huanghe Mountain, in accordance with the semblance Dharma. The prefect and the district magistrate performed the rites for a deceased teacher and together expressed their sorrowful reverence; the rivers and lakes trembled in grief. In the past, when he moved his residence within the monastery, tall pines bowed down to one another. On the eve of his nirvāṇa, a pair of paulownia trees withered together. Tigers and wolves howled in grief, their voices shattering the mountain valleys; spirits and humans suffered deep sorrow, and heaven and earth were dark and dim. When he departed his seclusion to ascend the plateau, wind and rain swept the way. Compassionate birds covered the fields, and auspicious cranes hovered and soared. Both sentient and insentient beings were all moved when virtue reached its height. His disciples Fajing and Fahai personally received his subtle words and respectfully repaired the niche and seat. His bodhisattva-precept disciples included the late Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Qi Han, the late Minister of Justice Zhang Jun, the late Surveillance Commissioner of Jiangdong Liu Rizheng, the late Commander-in-chief of Guangdong Liang Sheng, the late Prefects of Runzhou Xu Qiao and Wei Zhaoli, the late Supervising Censor Han Yanshang, and the late Censor-in-chief Li Dan. Nowhere was the renown of the followers of the Dao more flourishing than here. I, his disciple, once heard the Dao at Jingshan, just as Yuezhen Zichun did with the Master. Purifying my mind and looking up in reverence, the Milky Way grew ever higher. Among Revered Jing's disciples, the one who awakened to the profoundest truth was Yang Yi, Case Reviewer of the Court of Judicial Review. Toward the storehouse of all the merits of past sages and worthies, wherever his aspiration reached, there was none he did not hear and know. If the chronicle of Lu followed what was reported, how much more so for transmitting what is authentic! The inscription reads: 'Tainted gold and clear mirror depend on your smelting and refining. Grind it and polish it; only when the effort culminates does it appear. When the oil is poured in, the light spreads outwardly everywhere. The yang ascends and the pitch-pipes resonate; the grasses and trees all transform. To enlighten the mute and blind—none but our Great Master. Ceasing speech, he established the teaching; relinquishing phenomena, he gave rise to compassion. The pole star does not move; winds and waves shift on their own. Objects of cognition become quiet due to the mind; the Dao follows along with the person. In profound and dark silence, he clearly merged into the unconditioned (asaṃskṛta). The nature is originally without defilement; how could it be cleansed? Body and mind at peace and still, he dissolved into the Great Ultimate. The inner radiance is boundless; myriad realms are alike as suchness. The pure taste of sweet dew, a wondrous vessel of beryl: universally bestowed throughout the great thousand \[worlds\], with neither sameness nor difference. Delivering those yet to be delivered, his transformative work complete, his conditions fulfilled. The tree of the Dao suddenly withered; the time for nirvāṇa arrived. My birth has no cessation; it follows the conditions of worldly causes. In the Palace of Auspiciousness, he responds and transforms across the heavens. Lonely stands the spiritual stūpa; torrential is the flowing river. Through the destruction of kalpas numerous as sands of the Ganges, the moon of wisdom remains ever round.'"
