The Imperial Edict: 'Unobstructed great benevolence does not violate original vows. In the first month of the coming year, the *Three Wisdoms Sūtra* shall be opened and expounded.' Having reverently received the palace edict, my body and mind leap with joy. Being starving and receiving the royal repast cannot surpass this; being destitute and obtaining a precious jewel is not comparable to this. We humbly observe that as the new year's felicitations flow and the rite of the great fur coat is completed, the cloud of wisdom continues to moisten, and the Dharma rain descends unceasingly. The great supramundane kindness spreads its moisture together with the spring warmth, causing these sentient beings to grow in accordance with the medicinal trees. The joy is shared by ten thousand states, and blessings pervade the nine realms. How could it merely be this foolish subject who attains what has never been before? I have respectfully proclaimed the commanding edict and hastened to inform Lun and Ji. In accordance with your intentions, we are speechless to express our gratitude. Respectfully submitted.
