Inscription
Excerpt: The Buddha has a wonderful method, which is like a lotus flower. Round and deep, truly pure and flawless. Wisdom to the Dharma Realm, welfare to the sands of Hengsha. As far as the treasure house, everyone rides in a big car. (Part 1)
As a sergeant in drama, I published Zhengqin. Remember the pagoda and think about the cause of victory. The round steps have been completed, and the layers are covered with layers. This is Emperor Zhao's dream, which brings blessings to heaven and man. (Part 2)
Lun Huan Si Chong is Zhang Jingyu. It was created by a real monk and decorated by a holy master. The middle seat is wide and the eaves are flying. Recommended inspiration, belongs to my imperial power. (Third)
If you think about it and learn from it, your mind will be stagnant and confused. It's not yet dawn on the dark road, and it's rare to find the middle road. He is often frightened at night, and is also afraid of the real dragon. Without Zen Bo, who would know the great sect? (Four)
The sea swallows the currents, and the mountains accept the soil. The sect is known as Dun, and the power of kindness can spread widely. Gathering the sand after meritorious deeds, clasping palms together when virtue is achieved. Enlighten the Buddha's knowledge and view, and the Dharma is supreme. (Part 5)
Although the emotions are mixed, there is no leakage in the ocean of nature. The sacred fetus is fixed and raised, and the confounded eagle is born. Breaking is always bound, empty and color are the same. Before the wormwood appears, where can I smell the lingering fragrance? (Part 6)
The picture below is the translated version in vernacular.
