Concluding verses

Many very powerful great beings, who prayed

To uphold the holy Dharma, brought to the land of China

From the Dharma treasury of the Holy Land

As many precious texts as their own intellectual ability could carry.

And many merchants of the Dharma — scholars and adepts —

Rich with the wealth of learning and realization,

Bearing the instructions on sutra and mantra, the wealth desired by all,

Forged sincerely on, and arrived in this country.

As the treasure of the holy Dharma flourished in that way

In the world of converts in the eastern lands,

The hand of hope for all beings

Was adorned with the glory of the ever-desirable jewel.

From out of the dharmadhātu, so clear, so clear,

The beautiful moonlight of the Buddha’s deeds, so deep, so deep,

Spontaneously shines everywhere unimpeded

Upon the pools of fortunate converts, whoever they may be.

With the brush of intelligence dipped

In the colors of the topics of many histories,

I have drawn a sketch of this marvelous account

As a curiosity for the connoisseur.

From The Crystal Mirror: An Excellent Explanation Showing the Sources and Assertions of All Philosophical Systems, this completes the explanation the history of the Dharma system of the insiders — the Buddhists — in the land of China. [311]
