Petition for the house-settling dharma assembly at Gwangjesa廣濟寺安宅法席踈
瞿曇氏廣演之衆經。孰非四辯。離車子請聞之玅說。能鎭八神。苟以十善齋戒而奉持。有何一切土地之窐㝵。緬惟聖祖。崇此法門。採道詵之秘言。開廣濟之精宇。俾揚寶藏。永作恒䂓。迨後世而弛心。反先王之發意。佛慈尙可。天鑒何如。伏念弟子本乏奇籌。但憑慧蔭。顧嘗致丹兵之易熄。亦莫非梵力之所加。今者星宿之行。屢變於乾象。陰陽之忌。垂邇於甲年。庶仗仁庥。逆防災漸。因締平生之至願。俾揚上件之眞乘。雖踐舊儀。痛傾深懇。自今日敬止已後。囑有司行之益精。伏願借善濟之私。杜未萌之患。蔑四時五行之禁忌。百福是道。致六府三事之和修。九功惟叙。戎羌遠遁。宗社寢寧。
Of the many scriptures that Gautama (瞿曇氏) spread abroad, which is not the fourfold unhindered eloquence? The mysterious words that the Licchavi (離車子) asked for and heard can press down the eight spirits. Truly, if one upholds and keeps them with the ten good observances, what taboo of any ground could there be?
Thinking back far, our holy ancestor esteemed this gate of the Law: drawing out the secret words of Doseon (道詵), he opened the pure house of Gwangjesa (廣濟寺) and had the precious teaching sounded forth, making it a constant rule for all time. Coming to later ages, hearts grew slack and betrayed what the former kings had set their will upon; the Buddha's compassion may bear it even so, but what of heaven's discernment?
Prostrate, I consider that your disciple, lacking from the first in extraordinary stratagems, leans only on the shade of wisdom. Looking back, that the Khitan troops were easily made to go out was in no part other than the Buddha's power added to us. Now the courses of the stars change often in the face of heaven, and what yin and yang shun draws near in a year that falls on gap (甲). I pray that, leaning upon your benevolent help, I may stop beforehand the spreading of calamity.
And so I bind the utmost wish of my whole life and have the true teaching named above sounded forth. Though I follow the old ritual, I pour out a deep earnestness to the point of pain. From this day, having reverently upheld it, I charge the officers in charge to carry it out with still greater sincerity.
Prostrate, I pray that, lending the grace by which you rescue so well, you stop the trouble that has not yet sprouted; that the taboos of the four seasons and the five phases be done away with, so that every blessing comes of it; that the six foundations and the three affairs be evenly ordered, so that the nine works fall into their sequence; and that the barbarians flee far off and the ancestral shrine and the altars of the state grow by degrees secure.
