22.91

Xuanzang has heard that the seven luminaries cast their brilliance by relying on the high heavens to spread their light; the nine rivers sprinkle their moisture by relying on the thick earth to flow freely. Thus one knows that the beauty of mutual reliance is indeed so among things; preaching the Dharma by relying on people is an indubitable principle. Prostrating, I reflect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought forth sagacious writing to reaffirm the celestial patterns, praising the Great Vehicle and adorning the true reality. Pearls turning and jade rolling, rosiness blazing and brocade unfurling, it joins its blossom with the sun and moon and harmonizes its rhyme with the Xianchi and Daying. Xuanzang, of insignificant life, is immensely fortunate to bathe in such extraordinary favor; unable to bear my deep gratitude, I present this petition to offer thanks. Respectfully petitioned.
