廣弘明集 19.31

19.31

陛下。德冠受圖道隆言契。四三六五不能喻。十堯九舜無以方。而秋風動條。尚興未息之念。一物失所。猶起納隍之仁。方留衢室之情。未議石渠之講。竊以神通所現一念萬機。大權所行應時三密。猶處禪寂影現十方。一起道場已為八會。豈與吹律之后均熊湘之勞。鑄鼎之君切風雨之務。伏願以平等慧行如來慈。為度蒼生降希有事。使朝滿一乘情皆十善。智珠法炬人人並持。四忍五明家家可望。謹冐天威重以聞啟。翹誠注仰伏希允遂。使北冀無山。豈自高於曩日。南陽迴景。不獨隔於當今。謹啟。

Your Majesty's virtue surpasses the receiving of celestial charts, and Your Way is exalted in matching the profound words. The four, the three, the six, and the five cannot illustrate it; ten Yaos and nine Shuns cannot match it. Yet when the autumn wind stirs the branches, You still give rise to unceasing care; if a single creature loses its place, You still harbor the benevolence of feeling as if falling into a ditch. You are currently lingering over thoughts of the imperial hall, and have not yet considered lecturing in the Stone Canal Pavilion. Humbly we consider that what is manifested by spiritual powers handles myriad affairs in a single instant; what is enacted by great expedient means responds to the three secrets in due time. While dwelling in dhyāna serenity, You project shadows in the ten directions; once You initiate a bodhimanda, it already encompasses eight assemblies. How could You be equated with the toils of Mount Xiong and Mount Xiang of the ruler who regulated the pitch-pipes, or pressed by the affairs of wind and rain of the sovereign who cast the cauldrons? We humbly pray that You will act with the compassion of the Tathāgata through equal wisdom, and for the sake of delivering the multitude of living beings, grant this rare event, causing the court to be filled with the One Vehicle and all minds to practice the ten good deeds. May each person hold the jewel of wisdom and the torch of the Dharma, and every household look forward to the fourfold patience and the five vidyās. Respectfully risking the heavenly majesty, we submit this petition once more. Lifting our sincere hearts in eager longing, we humbly hope for Your assent, so that the northern region of Ji will lack mountains—how could they have stood high only in days of old?—and the sun will turn its light back upon Nanyang, no longer blocked off only in the present. Respectfully submitted.
