English
English version: 'Hate fa wu suo wei' (恨法无所委) means there is nothing to criticize in your understanding of the Dharma. 'Ru cu de qi men' (汝粗得其门) means you have roughly grasped the gateway to the Dharma. ('Cu' (粗) means roughly.) 'Shen shi wo yuan' (甚适我愿) means your understanding is very much in line with my expectations. 'Wu jie bu xie ru' (吾解不谢汝) means my understanding is no worse than yours. ('Xie' (谢) means inferior to.) 'Yuan dang xiang yi' (缘当相揖) means the karmic conditions have arrived, and we should bid farewell. 'Jie' (诫) means admonishment. 'Zhu' (嘱) means entrustment. 'Xian' (羡) means admiration. 'Wei' (委) means to entrust. 'Cu' (粗) means roughly. 'Xie' (谢) means inferior to. Saying 'cu de' (粗得) is because Nanyue (南岳, referring to Huisi (慧思) Master) is at the Ten Faiths position, while the Master (referring to Zhiyi (智顗) Master) is at the Five Grades position. Those in lower positions cannot fully fathom the realm of those in higher positions, hence the saying 'cu de'. According to the 'Nanshan Zhuan' (南山传) record, after Huisi Master listened to Zhiyi Master's Dharma lecture, he said to his disciples: 'This is my doctrine, but I regret that my samadhi power is not enough.' 'Jie bu xie ru' (解不谢汝) means my wisdom and understanding are no less than yours. However, considering the karmic conditions of this life, we do not distinguish between the superiority of teacher and disciple, so we use the Great Dharma to transform sentient beings, walking in the world like brothers. 'Jin yi fu zhu ru' (今以付嘱汝), now I entrust the Dharma to you. 'Ru ke bing fa dou yuan chuan deng hua wu' (汝可秉法逗缘传灯化物), you can uphold the Dharma, guide sentient beings with affinities, transmit the light of the Dharma, and transform them. ('Bing' (秉) means to uphold. 'Dou' (逗) means to guide.) 'Mo zuo zui hou duan zhong ren ye' (莫作最后断种人也), do not become the person who cuts off the seed of the Dharma in the Dharma-ending age. This passage is just like the 'Entrustment Chapter' of the 'Lotus Sutra', which strongly encourages Bodhisattvas to circulate the 'Lotus Sutra'. 'Bing' (秉) means to uphold. 'Dou' (逗) means to guide. 'Zui hou' (最后) refers to the Dharma-ending age. If it were not for the guidance of a holy teacher, sentient beings would have no chance to awaken to the Dharma, which would be like cutting off the seed of the Dharma. 'Ji feng yan xun, bu de hu cong Heng Yue' (既奉严训，不得扈从衡岳), now that I have received your strict teachings, I cannot follow you to Heng Yue (衡岳). ('Ji' (既) means already. 'Hu' (扈) is pronounced hu. 'Hu cong' (扈从) means to accompany and serve. All those who follow a superior on the road are called hu cong. The 'Historical Records' say that following the emperor on a journey is called hu cong. The letter from the King of Jin says that accompanying the emperor's carriage is also called hu cong.) At that time, Huisi Master was still at Da Su Mountain (大苏山) and did not have time to follow Nanyue, so he said 'bu de hu cong Heng Yue' (不得扈从衡岳), which means he could not accompany and serve the teacher to Heng Yue. 'Su wen Jinling ren yi yuan sou, shi wang guan zhi. Ruo fa hong qi di, ze bu gu fu zhu' (素闻金陵仁义渊薮，试往观之。若法弘其地，则不辜付嘱), I have always heard that Jinling (金陵) is a place where benevolence and righteousness gather, and I want to go there to see. If the Dharma can be propagated there, then I will not fail your entrustment. ('Su' (素) means always. Jinling is the ancient Yangzhou (扬州). 'Li Xun' (李巡) said that the customs of Jiangnan (江南) are frivolous and impetuous, so it is called Yangzhou, which is now Jiangning Prefecture (江宁府). Jinling is the name of the place, Jianye (建业) is the name of the water, Jiang Mountain (蒋山) is the name of the mountain, and Stone City (石头城) is the name of the city. The 'Jinling Han Geography Records' (金陵汉地理志) records that Jinling was the ancient Moling (秣陵), which Qin Shi Huang (秦始皇) changed to Jian'an (建安), Sun Quan (孙权) changed to Jianye, and Emperor Wu of Jin (晋武帝) changed back to Moling after pacifying Wu (吴).) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

帝讳业。改为建康。凡六朝达国之地。始孙权。次东晋。次刘宋。次南齐。次梁武。至陈六朝。计四十余帝。总三百余年。如李白诗云。四十余帝三百秋。功名事迹随东流。又金华释保暹怀古诗云。石城秋月满。烟水冷萧萧。战气悲千古。歌声鼓六朝。蛩鸣宫草暗。霜白井梧凋。竟日秦淮上。思贤莫可招。渊薮者。水深阔者曰渊。陂泽广者曰薮。渊水深可比六代贤臣之智。薮泽广可比六代贤臣之量。尔雅。载天下十薮。故借此喻。试则探试也。一观君臣可化。二观缁素𠃔从。若可弘演则不负师之付嘱。 仍共法喜等二十七人同至陈都。 智者入陈。时年三十。陈都金陵凡五主。共三十三年。即第三废帝光太元年。在位㐫淫。至二年十一月太后令废为临海郡王。后即宣帝。改元太建。 然上德不德。又智音者寡。 老子云。上德不德。言上德隐耀。世实难知。未露风猷。谁先可鉴。故知音者少也。 有一老僧厥名法济。即何凯之从叔也。自矜禅学。倚卧问言。有人入定闻摄山地动。知僧诠练无常。此何禅也。 厥者。其也。自衿敖慢之貌。此乃得未到定初禅气分。未能深入。如经心在定故能知世间生灭法相。即此义也。无修敬之礼。身靠倚背而忽。祖师卒问之曰也。摄山在建康北 现代汉语译本 帝名讳为业。改名为建康。总共有六个朝代在此建都，分别是孙权建立的吴，东晋，刘宋，南齐，梁武帝建立的梁，以及陈朝。这六个朝代总共有四十多位皇帝，历时三百多年。正如李白的诗所说：‘四十余帝三百秋，功名事迹随东流。’还有金华释保暹的怀古诗写道：‘石城秋月满，烟水冷萧萧。战气悲千古，歌声鼓六朝。蛩鸣宫草暗，霜白井梧凋。竟日秦淮上，思贤莫可招。’渊薮（Yuansou）：水深而广阔的地方称为渊，水面宽广的沼泽称为薮。渊可以比作六朝贤臣的智慧深邃，薮可以比作六朝贤臣的度量宽广。《尔雅》记载了天下十薮，所以借此来比喻。试，就是探试。一是观察君臣是否可以被教化，二是观察僧俗是否愿意归从。如果可以弘扬佛法，就不辜负老师的嘱托。 于是与法喜等二十七人一同前往陈都。 智者大师进入陈都时，年龄三十岁。陈都金陵经历了五位君主，共三十三年。当时是第三位被废黜的皇帝陈废帝光太元年间，他在位时凶暴淫乱，到第二年十一月，太后下令废黜他为临海郡王。之后即位的是陈宣帝，改年号为太建。 然而，具有上等品德的人不炫耀自己的德行，而且懂得智慧之音的人很少。 老子说：‘上德不德’，意思是具有上等品德的人隐藏光芒，世人难以了解。在没有显露出卓越的才能之前，谁又能事先鉴别呢？所以懂得智慧之音的人很少。 有一位老僧，他的名字叫法济，是何凯的堂叔。他自夸精通禅学，倚靠着身体发问：‘有人入定后听到摄山（Sheshan）[地名]发生地震，知道僧诠（Sengquan）[人名]在修习无常观，这是什么禅？’ 厥，就是‘其’的意思。自矜，是傲慢自大的样子。这只是得到尚未深入的初禅气分，未能深入禅定。如同经中所说，心在定中，所以能够知道世间的生灭法相，就是这个意思。他没有修敬之礼，身体靠着倚背而轻慢。祖师突然问他。
English
English version The emperor's given name was Ye. It was renamed Jiankang. In total, six dynasties established their capital here: first, Wu established by Sun Quan (Sun Quan) [name of a person], then the Eastern Jin, the Liu Song, the Southern Qi, the Liang established by Emperor Wu of Liang, and finally the Chen dynasty. These six dynasties had more than forty emperors in total, lasting for over three hundred years. As Li Bai's poem says: 'Forty-odd emperors, three hundred autumns, fame and deeds flow eastward.' Also, the nostalgic poem by Shi Baoxian (Shi Baoxian) [name of a person] of Jinhua says: 'The autumn moon is full over Stone City, the misty waters are cold and desolate. The war spirit grieves for thousands of years, the songs and drums of the six dynasties. Crickets chirp in the dark palace grass, frost whitens the wellside wutong tree. All day long on the Qinhuai River, thinking of the wise, but none can be summoned.' Yuansou (Yuansou) [term]: A place with deep and wide water is called Yuan, and a broad swamp is called Sou. Yuan can be compared to the profound wisdom of the virtuous ministers of the Six Dynasties, and Sou can be compared to the broad-mindedness of the virtuous ministers of the Six Dynasties. The Erya records the ten Sou of the world, so this is used as a metaphor. Shi means to test. First, to observe whether the ruler and ministers can be transformed, and second, to observe whether monks and laypeople are willing to follow. If the Dharma can be promoted, then the teacher's entrustment will not be betrayed. Then, together with Faxi (Faxi) [name of a person] and twenty-seven others, they went to the Chen capital. When Zhiyi (Zhiyi) [name of a person] entered the Chen capital, he was thirty years old. The Chen capital, Jinling, had five rulers, for a total of thirty-three years. At that time, it was the first year of Guangtai of the third deposed emperor of Chen, who was tyrannical and licentious during his reign. In the eleventh month of the second year, the Empress Dowager ordered him to be deposed as the Prince of Linhai. Later, Emperor Xuan ascended the throne and changed the era name to Taijian. However, those with superior virtue do not boast of their virtue, and few understand the sound of wisdom. Laozi said: 'Superior virtue is not virtue,' meaning that those with superior virtue hide their brilliance, and it is difficult for the world to understand. Before outstanding talents are revealed, who can discern them in advance? Therefore, few understand the sound of wisdom. There was an old monk whose name was Faji (Faji) [name of a person], who was He Kai's (He Kai) [name of a person] uncle. He boasted of his mastery of Chan Buddhism, leaning back and asking: 'Someone in meditation heard an earthquake on She Mountain (Sheshan) [name of a place], and knew that Sengquan (Sengquan) [name of a person] was practicing impermanence. What kind of Chan is this?' Jue means 'its'. Self-pride is an arrogant and conceited appearance. This is just obtaining the initial Chan atmosphere that has not yet been deeply entered, and has not been able to deeply enter samadhi. As the sutra says, the mind is in samadhi, so it is able to know the phenomena of birth and death in the world, that is the meaning. He had no respect, leaning back and being disrespectful. The Patriarch suddenly asked him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

六七里。止观寺有诠法师。此僧无正传。附摄山栖霞寺惠布传中。布学诠师三论。时人谓之语曰。诠公四友。所谓伏虎朗．领悟辩．文章勇．得意布。文在续传第十七卷。练无常者。文出禅秘要经三卷。罗什于逍遥园译。佛为拘絺罗难陀说。始说身念处。观白骨不净等凡三十六观门。其三昧成。次第当证四果。只于四大地．水．火．风入定观察。故经中卷第十七观云。得此观时自然生四黑象。直至下文云。黑象欲㧞此树。树一根动。此树动时。行者自见绳床下地自然震动。日日如是。地动之时。见其七佛与声闻众广为行者说三十七助圣道法。如是观时。狂象大吼。拔树令动。时见一切地六震动。复更普见三千大千世界一切地动。经文甚广。须者往捡。 答曰。边定不深。邪乘暗入。若取若说。定坏无疑。 方入初禅至未到定。若入灭尽定方乃云深。诠师所练无常。是藏教初心生灭观。智望衍门。还成未了。 济惊起谢曰。老僧身尝得此定。向灵耀则公说之则所不解。说已永失。 此定若取。必为楞严十种大魔。若频说露。定心易散。故当坏也。则公既不习禅。故难知定相也。 今闻所未闻。非直善知法相。亦乃悬见他心。 济前倚卧轻问。次则惊起不安。顺服之辞。其文可见。 现代汉语译本： 六七里。止观寺有诠法师（Quan Fashi）。这位僧人没有正式的传记，附在摄山栖霞寺惠布（Huibu）的传记中。惠布（Huibu）学习了诠法师（Quan Fashi）的三论。当时的人们有句话说：‘诠公四友’，指的是伏虎朗（Fuhu Lang）、领悟辩（Lingwu Bian）、文章勇（Wenzhang Yong）、得意布（Deyi Bu）。相关文字在续传第十七卷。练无常者，相关文字出自《禅秘要经》三卷，鸠摩罗什（Kumarajiva）在逍遥园翻译。佛陀为拘絺罗难陀（Kutila-nanda）讲述。开始讲述身念处，观察白骨不净等共三十六种观门。他的三昧成就后，次第应当证得四果。只是在四大地、水、火、风中入定观察。所以经中卷第十七观说，得到这种观想时，自然会生出四头黑象。直到下文说，黑象想要拔掉这棵树，树的一根动了。这棵树动的时候，修行者自己看到绳床下的地自然震动。每天都这样。地动的时候，看到七佛（Seven Buddhas）与声闻众广泛地为修行者讲述三十七助圣道法。这样观想的时候，狂象大吼，拔树令其动摇。这时看到一切大地六种震动。又普遍看到三千大千世界一切大地都在震动。经文内容很多，需要的人可以去查阅。 回答说：边定不深，邪乘暗中侵入。如果执取或宣说，禅定坏灭无疑。 刚入初禅到未到定，如果进入灭尽定才可以说是深。诠法师（Quan Fashi）所修习的无常观，是藏教初心者的生灭观。智者大师（Zhiyi）的《观心论》和《四念处》等，还属于未了义。 济（Ji）惊恐地起身道谢说：老僧我曾经得到过这种禅定，向灵耀则公（Lingyao Zegong）说起，则公（Zegong）不理解。说完之后就永远失去了。 这种禅定如果执取，必定会被《楞严经》中的十种大魔所趁。如果频繁地宣说，定心容易散失，所以会坏灭。则公（Zegong）既然不习禅，所以难以知道禅定的相状。 今天听到了从未听过的，不只是善于了解法相，而且还能预见到他人的心念。 济（Ji）先前倚靠着身体轻声询问，后来惊恐起身不安，顺从佩服的言辞，文章中可以看出来。
