18.23

(六) 天下大元帥吳越國王錢俶。製宗鏡錄序文曰。詳夫域中之教三。正君臣。親父子。厚人倫。儒吾之師也。寂兮寥兮。視聽無得。自微妙升虛無。以止乎乘風馭景。君得之則善建不拔。人得之則延貺無窮。道儒之師也。四諦十二因緣。三明八解脫。時習不忘日修以得。一登果地。永達真常。釋道之宗也。惟此三教並自心修。心鏡錄者。智覺禪師所撰也。總乎百卷。包盡微言。我佛金口所宣。盈乎海藏。蓋亦提携後學。師之智慧辯才。演暢萬法明了一心。禪際河游惠間雲布。數而稱大。莫能盡紀。聊為小序以頌宣行云爾。

(6) Qian Chu, Grand Commander-in-Chief of All under Heaven and King of the State of Wu-Yue, wrote a preface to the Zongjing lu, which reads: "Considering the teachings within the realm, there are three: rectifying ruler and minister, fostering affection between father and son, and enriching human relations—Confucianism is our teacher in this. Silent and empty, beyond sight and hearing, ascending from the subtle to the vacuous, and culminating in riding the wind and steering the light; when a ruler attains it, he establishes [virtue] firmly and unshakably; when the people attain it, their blessings are prolonged without end—Daoism is the teacher of Confucianism. The Four Noble Truths and the twelve links of dependent origination, the three knowledges and the eight liberations; practiced constantly without forgetting and cultivated daily to achieve them, once one ascends the ground of fruition, one eternally reaches the true and eternal—Buddhism is the ultimate source of Daoism. Yet these three teachings all cultivate from the mind. The Record of the Mirror of the Mind is composed by Chan Master Zhijue. Spanning a hundred fascicles, it encompasses all subtle words; what was spoken from the golden mouth of our Buddha fills the ocean treasury. It is surely meant to guide later students: with the Master's wisdom and eloquence, he expounded the myriad phenomena and clarified the one mind, swimming across the boundaries of Chan like a river, spreading clouds among blessings. Were one to enumerate and extol its greatness, no record could exhaust it. I compose this brief preface merely to praise its promulgation."
