16.16

Your subject [Xiao Gang], speaking his tabooed name, submits this memorial: The Palace Attendant Wang Jingyao conveyed the imperial decree graciously expressing solicitous concern and ordering me to enter the Guangyan Hall tomorrow to pay homage to the Dharma-body. Respectfully receiving this, your subject has broadly received imperial grace. Tomorrow I shall reverently keep the opening of the gates and respectfully arrive, repeatedly ascending to the Pure Land through this imperial favor. Accumulated wind and deep water are insufficient as metaphors. My humble heart leaps with awe, and words fail me to express my thanks above. Unable to bear my humble feelings, I respectfully submit this memorial to express my thanks. Respectfully submitted.
