宣華嚴境界 　啟楞嚴壇場　 守戒律傳後學
千載宗風從此續　 素衣緇子萬佛堂上莊嚴萬佛

　　化智度精神 　敷濟度法會　 興叢林結眾緣
一生辛苦有誰知 　碩德豐功十方界中普度十方

Proclaiming the Avatamsaka state, opening the Shurangama Platform,
　　and upholding the precepts, he transmitted them to students of the future.

The thousand-year tradition is thus perpetuated; the Sangha and the laity adorn
　　the ten thousand Buddhas in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Transforming in the spirit of wisdom, hosting assemblies of salvation,
　　and establishing Bodhimandas, he created affinities with the multitudes.

Who can know the hardships that he underwent? His merit and virtue are monumental;
　　he rescued beings throughout the worlds of the ten directions.
