廣弘明集 21.52

21.52

臣統啟。宣詔王慧寶。奉宣勅旨。垂賚制旨大集經講疏二帙十六卷。甘露入頂。慧水灌心。似闇遇明。如飢獲飽。伏以非色非欲二界同坊。匪文匪理三乘雲集。四辨言而未極。八聲闡而莫窮。俯應天機垂茲聖作。同真如而無盡。與日月而俱懸。但觀寶舂山獲珠大海。臣實何能恒蒙誘被。張書谷筆豈足陳心。抗袖長言未申歌舞。不任喜荷之至。謹奉啟謝聞。謹啟。

Your servant Tong reports: Wang Huibao, Proclaimer of the Imperial Decree, has reverently proclaimed the imperial decree, graciously bestowing the Imperial Commentary on the Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra in two cases and sixteen fascicles. Amṛta enters the crown of my head; the water of wisdom irrigates my heart. It is like meeting light in the dark, or obtaining food when starving. Prostrate, I consider that neither the form nor the desire realms share the same quarter; beyond form and beyond principle, the three vehicles gather like clouds. The four unhindered eloquence cannot exhaust it in speech; the eight qualities of voice cannot fathom it in proclamation. Condescending to meet the heavenly capacity, this sagely work was produced. Identical with suchness, it is without end; hanging together with the sun and moon, it shines. It is just like seeing Mount Baoshong or obtaining a pearl from the great ocean. How could your servant truly be worthy of constantly receiving this guidance? Opening paper and unrolling the brush are hardly enough to express my heart; raising sleeves and uttering prolonged cries cannot suffice for songs and dances. Unable to bear the height of my joyful gratitude, I respectfully submit this memorial of thanks. Respectfully reported.
