廣弘明集 28.73

28.73

五翳消空韶光表節。百華異色結綵成春。道體何如。恒清宜也。對玩清虛。既在風雲之表。遊心入理。羌多定慧之樂。弟子俗務紛糺。勞勌特深。睠然北嶺欽賢已積。會遇之期庶必可孱。有緣之儔事等飢渴。佇望來儀一日三歲。想思弘利益。理當無爽。指遣此信無述寸衿。綱和南。

The five obscurations have dispersed in the sky; the lovely light marks the season. A hundred flowers of varied colours weave their splendours into spring. How is the state of your practice? May you be ever pure and at ease. Contemplating the pure and void, you already stand beyond the wind and clouds; wandering your mind into principle, you enjoy much of the bliss of concentration and wisdom. This disciple is entangled in worldly affairs and especially deeply fatigued. Looking back toward the Northern Peak, my admiration for your virtue has long accumulated. I hope the time for our meeting can surely be accomplished. Those bound by affinity are like the famished and thirsty, yearning for your arrival as three years in a single day. Thinking that you spread benefit, this should naturally not fail. I dispatch this letter with no words adequate to convey my sincere thoughts. Gang bows in reverence.
