30.101

The sovereign's heart pities the illusory world; / His holy virtue commiserates with dense ignorance. / Imperial decrees open the gate of embrace; / Silk-like edicts widen the gate of wisdom. / Talents of the era fill the sovereign's realm; / Dharma companions flourish in the heavenly garden. / Together they dissolve the fetters of the five destinies; / In unison they wash away the resentments of the four forms of birth. / The three cultivations banish the horse of craving; / The six recollections pacify the monkey of the mind. / In deep courtyards, the forest colors are splendid; / In this tranquil realm, bird songs ring out. / An upstream wind sounds the Dharma drum; / Hanging bells chime on the painted balustrade. / Fresh plums are budding, not yet bloomed; / Fallen cassia petals gather, then scatter again. / Morning mist veils the stone stairway; / The cold tide soaks the water-gate. / Once graced with your skillful guidance, / I now desire to cast off the cage and snare.
