Indeed, the sutras expound the doctrine of the past body, and the Appended Statements narrate the discourse on the wandering soul; what the foolish and shallow have discerned is already not extinction, how much more so when sagely thought is grand and far-reaching, exhausting principle and probing the subtle! Adducing texts and verifying them by classics, it is as brilliant as melting ice. Those with physical eyes devoutly and respectfully redirect their minds; the crowds of deluded and burdened amend their frivolous hearts. It clarifies the past and instructs the future. Prostratively receiving this profound teaching, my leaping with joy knows no end.
