暮齒官陳，與攝山布上人遊款，深悟苦空，更復練戒，運善於心，行慈於物，頗知自勵，而不能蔬菲，尚染塵勞，以此負愧平生耳。 In my declining years in office in Chen I kept close company with the cloth-robed superior of Mount She, deeply awakened to suffering's emptiness, and again practiced the precepts; I moved goodness in heart and walked compassion toward things, and knew somewhat how to urge myself—yet I could not live on vegetables alone and was still stained by dusty toil; on this account I bear shame all my life.
