大唐三藏[一]圣教序太宗文皇帝制弘福寺[二]沙门[三]怀仁集晋右将军王羲之书

盖闻二仪[四]有像,显覆载以含生,四时无形,潜寒暑以化物。是以窥天鉴地,庸愚皆识其端;明阴洞阳,贤哲

罕穷其数[五]。然而天地苞乎阴阳而易识者,以其有像也;阴阳处乎天地而难穷者,以其无形也。故知像显

可征,虽愚不惑;形潜莫睹,在智犹迷。况乎佛道崇虚,乘幽控寂,弘济[六]万品,典御十方[七]。举威灵而无上,抑神

力而无下。大之则弥于宇宙,细之则摄于豪厘[八]。无灭无生,历千劫而不古;若隐若显,运百福[九]而长今。妙道

凝玄,遵之莫知其际;法流湛寂,挹[一〇]之莫测其源。故知蠢蠢凡愚,区区庸鄙,投其旨趣,能无疑惑者哉。然则

大教之兴,基乎西土,腾汉庭而皎梦,照东域而流慈。昔者分形分迹之时,言未驰而成化;当常现常之

世,民仰德而知遵。及乎晦影归真,迁仪越世,金容掩色,不镜三千之光[一一];丽象开图,空端四八之相[一二]。于是微言

广被,拯含类[一三]于三途;遗训遐宣,导群生于十地[一四]。然而真教难仰,莫能一其旨归;曲学[一五]易遵,耶(邪)正于焉纷纠。

所以空有[一六]之论,或习俗而是非;大小之乘,乍沿时而隆替。有玄奘法师者,法门之领袖也。幼怀贞敏,早悟

三空之心;长契神情,先苞四忍[一七]之行。松风水月,未足比其清华;仙露明珠,讵能方其朗润。故以智通无累,神

理,测未形,超六尘而迥出,只千古而无对。凝心内境,悲正法之陵迟[一八];栖虑玄门,慨深文之讹谬。思欲分条析[一九]

广彼前闻,截伪续真,开玆后学。是以翘心净土,往游西域。乘危远迈,杖策孤征。积雪晨飞,途间失地;惊

砂夕起,空外迷天。万里山川,拨烟霞而进影;百重寒暑,蹑霜雨而前踪。诚重劳轻,求深愿达,周游西宇,

十有七年。穷历道邦,询求正教,双林[二〇]八水,味道餐风,鹿菀[二一]鹫峰,瞻奇仰异。承至言于先圣,受真教于上
