4.28

竊以。老氏玄奧。發揮眾妙之門。釋教凝寂。蕭灑出塵之境。自夫金容東度真氣西遊。挹道希風綿區浹域　聖朝撫運茲道彌隆。仁祠法宇麗充都邑。寶幢金剎彩絢路衢。凡此憑奉庶為資益兼存其教。竊謂可通。謹議。

We humbly consider: The mysterious and profound teachings of Laozi illuminate the gateway of all subtleties; the teachings of Śākya, tranquil and still, represent the unworldly realm beyond the dust. Since the golden countenance crossed to the east and the true vapor journeyed to the west, people have imbibed the Way, admired their breeze, and filled the lands and regions. Our Sagely Dynasty has taken charge of the cosmic order, and this Way has become all the more exalted. Benevolent shrines and Dharma halls grandly fill the capital; jeweled banners and golden pillars colorfully illuminate the thoroughfares. All these reliances and devotions are hoped to provide aid and benefit while preserving their teachings. We privately deem this acceptable. Respectfully deliberated.
