法苑珠林 41.26

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [41.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.41.26)

祠大最為首　詩頌亦為首  
王為人中首　眾流海為首  
眾星月為首　光明日為首  
上下及四方　諸所生品物  
天上及世間　佛最無有上  
欲求種德者　當求於三佛

> 'Sacrifice is the foremost of great things, / Poetry and praise are also foremost, / A king is foremost among human beings, / The sea is foremost among the flowing waters, / The moon is foremost among the stars, / The sun is foremost among radiant lights. / Above, below, and in the four directions, / Among all the categories of things that are produced, / In the heavens and in the world, / The Buddha is supremely without superior. / Those who wish to seek to plant virtues / Should seek them in the Threefold Buddha.'
