付法藏因緣傳 1.4

1.4

Transcendent is the vehicle across the three realms, / crossing forever the stream of birth and death;
quiescent, free of mark or wish, / subtle, wonderful, hard to conceive.
The Buddha-sun is supremely bright and pure, / able to dispel the darkness of ignorance;
amassing kalpas of ascetic practice, / he vowed to cross over all suffering people.
Why then at this present time / do you cast aside great loving-kindness and compassion,
your whole body resting in the golden coffin, / quiescent and motionless?
We only pray that the Honored One of gods and humans / will reveal his golden body,
causing all the assembly everywhere / to give rise to boundless vows.
