No. 530-A刻般若心經疏詒謀鈔䟦
Postscript to the Commentary on the *Heart Sutra* (No. 530-A)
詒謀鈔宋孤山圓師釋自撰般若心經疏,其書研精發微,使經疏旨益彰彰焉,誠有益於物也。然疏已久行,而其鈔未流,學者憾之。近吾 靈空和尚嘗為之較正,且加訓點,劂生請鍥諸梓,就予需䟦語。予雖不文,隨喜其成,遂書卑云。
This work, a commentary and sub-commentary on the *Heart Sutra*, was authored by the solitary Song Master Yuán. His book delves deep into the essence, illuminating the meaning of the sutra and its commentary, making their profound truths even clearer. Truly, it is of great benefit to beings.
However, while the original commentary has long been in circulation, this profound sub-commentary has not been widely disseminated—a deep regret for scholars.
Recently, the Venerable Kōng Héshàng has undertaken to proofread it, adding punctuation and guiding marks. The woodblock carvers then humbly requested to carve it onto printing blocks, and asked me to write a postscript. Though I am not a man of letters, I rejoice in the completion of this good work, so I have composed this brief note.
