寺沙門玄奘上表記 1.78

1.78

省表。知欲晦迹巖泉。追林遠而架往。託慮禪寂。軌澄什以標今。仰挹風徽。寔所欽尚。朕業空學寡。靡究高深。然以淺識薄聞未見其可。法師津梁三界。汲引四生。智晈心燈。定凝意水。非情塵之所曀。豈識浪之能驚。然道德所居。何必大華疊嶺。空寂可舍。豈獨少室重巒。幸戢來言。勿復陳請。則市朝大隱。不獨貴於昔賢。見聞弘益。更可珍於即代勅（內與出玄奘法師）。

I have examined your memorial, and learned that you wish to conceal your traces among crags and springs, emulating Lin and Yuan to surpass the past, and entrust your thoughts to the serenity of meditation, following the example of Cheng and Shi to set a standard for the present. Admiring your refined bearing, I truly hold it in esteem. My achievements are hollow and my learning meager, unable to fathom profound depths. Yet with my shallow understanding and limited learning, I do not see that this can be allowed. The Dharma Master is a bridge across the three realms, guiding and delivering the four forms of birth. Your wisdom is as brilliant as the lamp of the mind; your meditative absorption is as settled as the waters of thought. You are not obscured by the dust of worldly sentiments; how could you be startled by the waves of consciousness? Where the Way and virtue reside, why must it be among the layered peaks of Mount Hua? Where emptiness and silence can be housed, why should it be only amid the double ridges of Mount Shaoshi? May you withdraw these words and make no further petition. In that way, the great recluse of the court and market will not only be valued in ancient worthies, and the broad benefit of seeing and hearing [you] can be all the more treasured in our own age. Decree. (Dispatched from within to Dharma Master Xuanzang).
