念佛三昧寶王論卷上(并序)
Treatise on the Supreme King of Buddha Recitation Samadhi, Volume One
唐紫閣山草堂寺沙門飛錫撰
Composed by Feixi, a monk of Caotang Temple on Mount Zi in the Tang Dynasty
客有高信，至吾禪居，前禮致問，辭甚清逸。問吾曰：「修心之人成道捷徑，法華三昧不輕之行，念佛三昧般舟之宗，僉為無上深妙禪門者，願聞其致。」對曰：「吾拱默九峯，與世異營，天書曲臨，自紫閣山草堂寺，令典千福法華勝場，向三十年矣。希高扣寂，未有若君之所問者也。子將涉無生之龍津，欲圖南以鵬舉，吾不敏也，甞試論之。今則略開二十門，以明斯旨耳。」
A certain visitor of profound faith came to my meditation retreat, bowed, and asked a question, his words most clear and refined. He asked me: "For those who cultivate the mind, what is the direct path to attaining the Way? The Lotus Samadhi's practice of never slighting others, the Buddha Recitation Samadhi of the Pratyutpanna tradition—all are said to be unsurpassed, profound, and wondrous gates of Zen. I wish to hear their essential meaning."
I replied: "I have sat in silence among the nine peaks, dwelling apart from worldly endeavors. By imperial decree, I was summoned from the thatched hut at Purple Pavilion Mountain's Caotang Temple to oversee the sacred grounds of the Thousand Blessings Lotus Dharma Assembly. It has been nearly thirty years now. Many who aspire to the lofty and seek the profound have come to inquire, but none have asked what you have asked. You are about to ford the dragon's crossing into the unborn, and wish to soar southward like the great peng bird. I am not clever, but let me attempt to discuss it. I will now briefly open twenty gates to illuminate this meaning."
