彌陀大願般若妙,  觀音心腸慈悲真;

無量劫來沒煩惱,  眉開眼笑渡蒼生。

神龍三年開春, 寫太上道人鴻影圖一幅, 真容宛爾, 會心一笑也。

The great vow of Amitabha exists wonderful Prajna (wisdom), with Guanyin Bodhisattva’s (Avalokitesvara) inclination of heartfelt compassion.  

Since countless existence of world-periods there is no affliction, beaming with joy to help all beings. 

Beginning spring of the third year of Shen-Long, I wrote the portrait of the Grand Enlightened One moved to Respond, a vivid genuine appearance who gives a knowing smile.
