- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [23.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.23.30)

於昔安公。道風允被。大法將盡。頹綱是寄。體靜息動。懷真整偽。事師以孝。養徒以義。仰弘如來。宣揚法雨。俯授法師。威儀允舉。學不闚牖。鑒不出戶。粳糧雖御。獨為萇楚。朗朗高堂。蕭蕭法庭。既嚴既靜。愈高愈清。從容音旨。優遊儀形。廣運慈悲。饒益眾生。堂堂其器。亹亹其資。總角味道。辭親隨師。供養三寶。析微辯疑。盛化濟濟。仁德怡怡。於焉問道。四海承風。有心載馳。戒德鞠躬。令聲續振。五濁暫隆。弘道讚揚。彌虛彌冲。十六王子。孺童先覺。公之出家。年未志學。如彼鄧林。甘露潤澤。如彼瓊瑤。既磨既琢。大宗戾止。座眾龍集。聿來胥宇。靈寺奚立。舊望研機。新學時習。公之勗之。載和載輯。乃修什公。宗望交泰。乃延禪眾。親承三昧。眾美合流。可久可大。穆穆道德。超於利害。六合俱否。山崩海竭。日月沈輝。三光寢晰。眾麓摧柯。連波中結。鴻化垂緒。徽風永滅。嗚呼哀哉。生盡冲素。死增傷悽。單蟄土槨。示同斂骸。人天感悴。帝釋慟懷。習習遺風。依依餘凄。悲夫法師。終然是栖。室無停響。除有廣蹊。嗚呼哀哉。端木喪尼。哀直六年。仰慕洙泗。俯憚蹄筌。今子門徒。實同斯難。晨掃虛房。夕泣空山。嗚呼法師。何時復還。風嘯竹柏。雲藹巖峯。川壑如丘。山林改容。自昔聞風。志願歸依。山川路邈。心往形違。始終銜恨。宿緣輕微。安養有寄。閻浮無希。嗚呼哀哉。

> In the past, Master Daoan's  
> teachings of the Way were truly pervasive.  
> When the Great Dharma was on the verge of ending,  
> the collapsing guidelines were entrusted to him.  
> Subduing the physical into stillness, he rested all movement;  
> embracing the true, he set right the false.  
> He served his teacher with filial piety;  
> he nurtured his disciples with righteousness.  
> Looking up, he broadly propagated the Tathāgata,  
> proclaiming and scattering the rain of the Dharma;  
> looking down, he transmitted it to the Dharma Master,  
> whose deportment was truly exemplary.  
> In learning he did not peek through windows;  
> his discernment did not pass beyond the door.  
> Though grain food was served to him,  
> he remained like the lone carambola.  
> Bright was the high hall;  
> solemn and calm, the courtyard of the Dharma.  
> Both strict and tranquil,  
> it was ever loftier and purer.  
> Placid was his speech and instruction;  
> easy and graceful was his deportment.  
> Broadly exercising compassion,  
> he abundantly benefited sentient beings.  
> Grand was his capacity;  
> untiring was his endowment.  
> With hair bound in tufts, he tasted the Way,  
> leaving his parents to follow his master.  
> He made offerings to the triratna,  
> analyzing the subtle and clarifying doubts.  
> His grand transformation was abundant;  
> his benevolence and virtue were joyful.  
> Thereupon people came to inquire of the Way;  
> the four seas received his wind.  
> Those with resolve came galloping;  
> bowing respectfully before his precept virtue.  
> His fine reputation continued to resound;  
> the five defilements were temporarily suppressed.  
> Broadening the Way and singing its praises,  
> he became ever more empty and ever more subtle.  
> Like the sixteen prince-sons,  
> as a youth he was already an enlightened one.  
> When the Master left the household,  
> he had not yet reached the age of fixing his mind on learning.  
> Like the Deng Forest,  
> moistened and nourished by amṛta;  
> like fine jade,  
> already polished and carved.  
> When the Great Master arrived,  
> the audience gathered like dragons.  
> Coming to inspect the terrain,  
> how could the spiritual monastery not be established?  
> Those of established renown investigated the subtle;  
> new students practiced at proper times.  
> The Master exhorted them,  
> continually harmonizing and gathering them.  
> He cultivated ties with Master Kumārajīva,  
> their shared prestige reaching a grand harmony.  
> He invited the dhyāna assembly,  
> personally receiving the samādhi.  
> The confluence of all virtues  
> can endure long and become great.  
> Majestic was his moral virtue,  
> transcending profit and harm.  
> The six directions are all in ruin;  
> the mountains collapse and the seas run dry.  
> The sun and moon sink their radiance;  
> the three luminaries suspend their clarity.  
> Branches of all mountain slopes are snapped;  
> the surging waves are frozen mid-course.  
> The grand transformation leaves its threads;  
> his exemplary wind is forever extinguished.  
> Alas, how sorrowful!  
> In life he exhausted modesty and simplicity;  
> in death, grief and sorrow only increase.  
> A single resting place in an earthen vault,  
> showing that his gathered remains were just like any others.  
> Humans and devas are moved to grief;  
> Śakra's heart is racked with sorrow.  
> Gentle is his lingering influence;  
> lingering is the leftover chill.  
> How sorrowful, O Dharma Master,  
> that at last you rest here!  
> The room no longer holds his voice;  
> the steps have broad paths grown over them.  
> Alas, how sorrowful!  
> Duanmu mourned for Confucius,  
> his grief lasting a full six years.  
> Looking up in longing toward the Zhu and Si rivers,  
> looking down, he dreaded relying on traps and nets.  
> Now your disciples  
> indeed share this very distress.  
> In the morning they sweep the empty room;  
> in the evening they weep upon the desolate mountain.  
> Alas, O Dharma Master,  
> when will you ever return?  
> The wind howls through the bamboos and cypresses;  
> clouds cast shadows on the rocky peaks.  
> The rivers and gorges seem like burial mounds;  
> the mountains and forests have changed their appearance.  
> Ever since I first heard of your wind,  
> my resolve was to take refuge in you.  
> Mountains and rivers made the road distant;  
> my heart went forth, but my body could not.  
> From beginning to end I bear this regret;  
> my past karmic affinity was slight.  
> In the Land of Peace and Nurture there is a dwelling;  
> in Jambudvīpa there is nothing left to hope for.  
> Alas, how sorrowful!
