竭诚尽敬,受持佛经
[213] [With] Wholehearted Sincerity [And] Utmost Reverence, Receive [And] Uphold Buddhist Sūtras

大觉世尊,所说一切大乘显密尊经,悉皆理本唯心,道符实相,历三世而不易,举十界以咸遵。

Of [the] Great Awakened World-Honoured [One], all [of his] spoken Great Vehicle’s exoteric [and] esoteric honourable sūtras, [are] all [with the] fundamental principle [of] mind-only, [with their] paths corresponding [to] true forms [of reality], passing through [the] three periods yet not changing, entirely [in the] ten realms with all followed.

归元复本,为诸佛之导师。拔苦与乐,作众生之慈父。

[For] returning [to the] source [and] recovering [the] fundamental, [they are] as [the] guiding teachers of all Buddhas. [For] pulling out suffering [and] giving bliss, becoming sentient beings’ ‘fathers’ [with] loving-kindness.

若能竭诚尽敬,礼诵受持,则自他俱蒙胜益,幽显同沐恩光。

If able [to be with] wholehearted sincerity [and] utmost reverence, [with] prostration [and] recitation receiving [and] upholding [them], then [will] oneself [and] others together receive supreme benefits, [with those in the] nether[world and the world of the] living similarly bathing [in] kindness’ light.

犹如意珠,似无尽藏,取之不匮,用之无穷,随心现量,悉满所愿。

Like [a] wish-fulfilling gem, similar [to an] inexhaustible treasury, obtaining [from] them without ceasing, using them without ending, according [to the] mind manifesting measures, all fulfilling that wished [for].
