Senglang bows his head and bows his head. The ultimate person has nothing concealed; when virtue is born, one becomes a sage. Being neither virtuous nor sagely, how could I dare invite comparison? Leaving home means lodging beyond the dust, admiring the stillness of mountain and forest, the mind aspiring to dark tranquility. My spiritual traces are hard to match; it is merely an encumbrance of the physical form. Receiving the imperial decree, I am consoled by your consideration. The Great Jin has reestablished its foundation, first receiving governance through filial piety; your benevolence equals heaven and earth, sheltering and nurturing without bound. I pray that you unfold the Great Vehicle and spread the flavor of the path. Senglang bows his head and bows his head.
