### 募刻涅槃經會疏引

> Preface to the Commissioned Printing of the Nirvana Sutra Commentary

大涅槃經者。乃世出世莫大之玅典。實如來最後之極談。所以四十九年不聞。盡迷佛性。二月十五特唱。一眾知皈。六念三修。直趨菩提之路。五行十德。頓超方便之門。十外歸依。二子攝伏。若凡若聖。安住祕密藏中。情與無情。總收大涅槃內。功超日月。德勝乾坤。炤大地以無虧。育群有而不剩者也。所以如來顧命之際。天人魔外之儔。倔僵無雙。尚悔心而戀慕。蜂䘍毒蛇之類。愚癡無比。亦含淚而歸依。無情若大地山林。亦已變白。蠢動如蛣𧏙白蛵。悉以悲鳴。蟲獸尚知報德。為人豈無深思。奈是經緣。奧黠慧何知。故灌頂老人難歷百城。運神思而註疏。荊溪尊者。深體父意。再精治以完文。惜乎經疏兩處。致使學者探吳而失越。余故𨤲會。庶挈領以知綱。起筆於辛亥之春。告成於壬子之夏。不能刻棗。未遂初心。茲遇定凡居士。會首化諸同志。冀今世以及後世。一燈而傳萬燈。法身何限。慧命無窮。可謂真報佛恩。不忘付囑者矣。

> The Great Sutra of Nirvana is the most profound and wondrous scripture within and beyond the mundane world. It represents the Buddha’s ultimate and final teaching. For forty-nine years, it remained unspoken, leaving all beings unaware of their Buddha-nature. On the fifteenth day of the second month, the Buddha specially proclaimed it, guiding the assembly to know where to take refuge. Through the six recollections and the threefold cultivation, one directly treads the path to enlightenment. Through the five practices and the ten virtues, one instantly transcends the provisional gateways. The ten types of outsiders take refuge; two sons are subdued and drawn in. Both ordinary beings and sages abide within the secret treasury. Sentient and insentient alike are all gathered within the great Nirvana. Its merit surpasses the sun and moon, its virtue outweighs heaven and earth. It illuminates the great earth without flaw and nurtures all beings without exception. Thus, at the time of the Tathagata’s final instructions, even the stubborn and unruly celestials, humans, demons, and non-Buddhists—who had never bowed before—repented and yearned for him. Mortal creatures like bees, scorpions, and venomous snakes—the most ignorant—also wept tears and took refuge. Even the insentient—the great earth, mountains, and forests—turned white in mourning. Creatures as tiny as dung beetles and dragonflies all cried out in grief. If even insects and beasts know to repay kindness, how can humans fail to reflect deeply? Yet, because of the profound and subtle nature of this sutra, those of clever but shallow intelligence cannot fathom it. This is why the Venerable Guanding (灌顶) traveled through a hundred cities, expending spiritual energy to compose its commentary. The Venerable Jingxi (荆溪) deeply comprehended the master’s intent, carefully refining the text to completeness. It is a pity, however, that the sutra and its commentary became separated, causing students to search in the wrong places—seeking Wu only to lose Yue (i.e., looking in one place while missing the other). I have therefore brought them together, enabling readers to grasp the key points. I began writing in the spring of the year Xinhai (辛亥) and completed it in the summer of the year Renzi (壬子). Unfortunately, I could not have it carved into woodblocks for printing, failing to fulfill my initial aspiration. Now, encountering Layman Dingfan (定凡居士), who has taken the lead in gathering like-minded supporters, I hope that not only the present generation but also future ones may pass on this teaching—one lamp lighting ten thousand lamps. The Dharma-body is without limits; the life of wisdom is endless. This is truly repaying the Buddha’s kindness and never forgetting his entrustment.
