釋鑑稽古略續集 1.7

1.7

The events of the two dynasties, the Yuan period and our Bright Dynasty, were continued thereafter. This will allow the lineage of the Dao throughout ancient and modern times, above and below, to be seen, maintaining the fundamental policies of the mundane and supramundane in unbroken continuity. Drawing this comparison to continuing a sable coat with a dog's tail, it is simply because I do not wish to be the last person to cut off the seed of Buddhahood. I have painted empty space and sketched shadows to await future philosophers to view, feel inspired, and arise, linking brilliances and continuing the flame endlessly.
