西藏活佛皈敬

丁丑九十八歲。春戒畢。公應廣州居士林請。赴穗講經。時有西藏活佛。榮增堪布金剛上師。與羅格更桑等。十餘人慕道德而來皈依。佛山諸僧眾護法等。請赴佛山。為仁壽寺寶塔開光。回南華寺。仍修造各院宇工程。經營料理。

宣化偈曰:

廣開法筵度含識。大闡教義化氓蚩。
西藏活佛來皈敬。東震比丘第一枝。

 

A Tibetan Lama respectfully requesting to take refuge

After the spring Precept Period of 1937, the Master, now ninety-eight, responded to an invitation by the Laypeople's Association of Canton to go there and explain a sutra. At that time, a Tibetan lama, Vajra Master Jung Tseng K'en Pu, arrived, accompanied by Lo Ke Keng Sang and ten others. Admiring the Master's virtue in the Way, they came to receive refuge. Later, members of the Sangha and protectors of the Dharma invited the Master to go to Fuo (Buddha) Mountain and conduct the Opening of the Light Ceremony at the Jeweled Pagoda at Jen Shou (Humane Age) Monastery. Returning to Nan Hua Monastery, the Master then continued to oversee the tasks of reconstruction there.

The gatha says:
Setting forth a vast Dharma feast, he crossed over many beings.
Clearly expounding the teaching's meaning, he transformed the ignorant masses.
A Lama from Tibet respectfully received the refuges.
The land of China produced an exceptionally first-rate bhikshu.
