彰所知論序
元正奉大夫同知行宣政院事廉復譔
夫出三界者惟佛，佛以大事因緣故出現於世，憫化群生，此亘古不磨之善也。大元帝師，洞徹三乘、性行如春，仁而穆穆不可量。裕皇潛邸，久知師之正傳，敬詣請師敷教於躬。師篤施靜志，弘揚帝緒、大播宗風，彰其所知、造其所論，究其文理、推其法義，皎如日月、廣於天地。蓋如來之事，非聖者孰能明之？總統雪巖翁，英姿間世、聽授過人，久侍師之法席，默譯此論，見傳於世。公昔與予會閩，交情相照、愛同昆仲，公固肯予為序。予抗塵幻海、絕筆踈硯，豈足發正教之光耶？公笑之曰：汝何謙哉！予不敢辭，遂序焉。
Only the Buddha has transcended the three realms. The Buddha appeared in this world for a great cause and awakened beings out of compassion—this is a timeless and indestructible good. The Imperial Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty had deeply mastered the three vehicles; his nature and conduct were like spring—benevolent, majestic, and immeasurable. When the future Emperor was still a prince, he had long known the Preceptor's true transmission. With deep respect, he invited the Preceptor to personally instruct him. The Preceptor devoted himself with a calm heart, spreading the Emperor's legacy and widely promoting the school's teachings. He made known what he understood, crafted what he expounded, probed the texts and principles, and explored the meaning of the Dharma—brilliant as the sun and moon, vast as heaven and earth. Indeed, the matters of the Tathagata—who but a sage can illuminate them?
Master Xueyan, the General Regent, had an extraordinary presence unmatched in his age. His learning and insight surpassed others. Having served long at the Preceptor's Dharma seat, he silently translated this treatise and saw it spread throughout the world. Long ago, we met in Min, and our friendship shone like brothers. He firmly asked me to write a preface. But I am lost in the dreamlike sea of worldly affairs, my brush long idle. How could I bring light to such a profound teaching? He smiled and said, "You are too modest." I dared not refuse, and so wrote this preface.
