長安禮諸祖塔

公年四十六歲。西出大慶關。至咸陽。觀召伯甘棠樹。抵長安。城垣雄偉。城內慈恩寺。大雁塔。華嚴寺。禮杜順和尚塔。清涼國師塔。牛頭興國寺。禮奘師塔。到終南白水浪。有兩聖僧隱此。

宣化偈曰：
長安古蹟觀不盡。寺院浮屠塔尤多。
終南又有東五台。響鼓坡上念南無。

Paying reverence to the Patriarchs' stupas in Ch'ang An

The Master, who was now forty-six years of age, headed west and went through Ta Ch'ing (Great Celebration) Pass to Hsien Yang, where he saw the sweet pear tree where Duke Chao Pai had lived. Arriving at Ch'ang An, he saw the imposing wall which surrounds the city, and Ts'e En (Compassionate Kindness) Monastery within. He bowed to the Ta Yen (Great Wild Goose) Stupa and to the stupas of the Venerable Master Tu Shun and National Master Ch'ing Liang, both at Hua Yen Monastery. At Niu T'ou Flsing Kuo (Flourishing Country) Monasteries, he venerated the stupas of the Venerable Master Hsüan Chuang. He went on to Chung Nan and then Pai Shui Lang (White-water Waves), where in the past, two sagely Bhikshus had sequestered themselves.

The verse says:
Ancient Ch'ang An's historical sites are many and without end,
But the number of temples and pagodas there is even greater yet!
Chung Nan Mountain and the Eastern Peak of Wu T'ai Mountain are nearby. At the top of Drum Sound Hill begin reciting "Namo."
