复最莲法师书 Reply to Sairen-bo
来信云：“自前二月初归依作弟子，自今以后虽不足人数，倘蒙思作为弟子之一分，虽极惶恐，实深喜悦”！（《复最莲法师书》别名：师弟契约御书，御书1409-1410页）
“ In your letter you mention that you became a disciple of mine and pledged to follow me at the beginning of the second month, and that from now on, though you may not measure up to others, you would be most pleased and honored if I would continue to count you among my disciples.” - WND-I pg 309, Reply to Sairen-bo

御書聖訓【聖愚問答抄】 Gosho Quotes (Conversation between a Sage and an Unenlightened Man)
本文：
白駒過隙，時光瞬逝，屠羊運步，不知死之將近。空繫衣食獄，徒陷名利穴，三途歸舊里，六道任輪迴，有心之人，能不興歎、能不為悲耶？【聖愚問答抄】
通解：
人生猶如白駒過隙，如待宰的羊般不知死之將近，徒然地困於衣食的牢獄，墮於名利的陷阱之中，最終還是要回歸於三途的故里、輪迴六道的街巷，對於這件事，有心的人誰能不歎息，誰能不悲哀呢？
Unaware that time passes as quickly as a white colt glimpsed through a crack in the wall, ignorant as sheep being led to the slaughter, help hopeless prisoners by our concern for food and clothing, we fall heedlessly into the snares of fame and profit and in the end make our way back to that familiar village in the three evil paths, where we are reborn time after time in the realm of the six paths, What person of feeling could fail to grieve at such a state of affairs, or could fail to be moved to sorrow!
