1.249

贊曰。蓮花標名。至此蓋屢見矣。幻歟真歟噫。幻心而念幻佛。幻花而標幻名。乃至得記成佛。夫孰非幻乎。吾且幻生焉。何論其真與否也。

Appraisal: Names inscribed on lotuses have appeared repeatedly by now. Is it illusory or is it real? Alas! Recalling an illusory Buddha with an illusory mind, inscribing an illusory name on an illusory blossom, even obtaining prophecy to achieve Buddhahood—who or what among these is not illusory? I shall simply be born illusorily; why argue whether it is real or not?
