佛祖歷代通載 8.55

8.55

（二十六　癸卯）　釋僧導。京兆人也。十歲從師所學弘大。為王者之敬。初姚興欽重出入同輦。後帝悅其賢。躬為壽春立光山寺勅開講。首曰。昔王宮托生雙林見滅。自爾已來歲逾千載。淳源永謝澆風不追。給苑丘墟鹿園蕪穢。九十五種。以趣下為升高。三界群生。以火宅為淨土。豈知上聖流涕大上悽惶者哉因即涕泗四眾為之改容。

(26. The guimao year [463 CE]) Shi Sengdao was a man of Jingzhao. At the age of ten, he followed his teacher; his learning was vast, and he was revered by kings. Formerly, Yao Xing respected him greatly and shared his carriage in coming and going. Later, the emperor [Xiaowu] took pleasure in his virtue, personally built the Guangshan Temple in Shouchun for him, and commanded him to initiate lectures. He began by saying: "Formerly, the Buddha took birth in the royal palace and manifested extinction in the Twin Trees. Since then, more than a thousand years have passed; the pure source has long ceased, and the decadent customs cannot be turned back. Anāthapiṇḍada's park lies in ruins, and the Deer Park is overgrown with weeds. The ninety-five heretical paths take going down as rising high; the living beings of the three realms take the burning house to be the pure land. How could they know the supreme sage's tears and the Great Being's sorrow?" Thereupon tears poured down his face, and the four assemblies were visibly moved.
