或曰∶彼何人斯，敢操着述乎？予骤聆之，遂赧然障面而退。因自讼曰∶谬矣，妄矣，几乎将废书矣！既
而此心，若终有所未释，复反复阅之，不禁喟然叹曰∶噫，是出前贤往圣，精思极论，予不过表章发明，提其
目，举其纲而已，岂敢之著作乎？为慨世之征逐者流，不学无术，卤莽应世，自轩自岐，轻操司命，夸浮词，
驾高轩，日见其征征也，日见其逐逐也，日持刃以屠，而苦不自觉也，奈何世皆习焉不察，设有叵测，惟委于
命于乎！岂不可痛可哀也哉？故每思得晨钟一振，唤醒大地，所以奋然有合刻二书之举，不吝变产鸠工，竭蹶
从事，幸邀同志，共襄厥成，又作如是观。效二氏福田利益之说，以异传之遐迩，如暗室一灯，迷津有筏。庶
卤莽者，不轻为人司命；乞生者，亦令知所鉴别。不抒鄙人拯救之怀，上体造物好生之德，则未必无小补，云
刻既成，复缀数语以见鄙志如此。知我罪我，其在斯乎！其在斯乎！

有人问：“那是什么人，竟敢从事著述工作？”我初次听到这话，便羞愧地遮住脸退下。于是自我责备道：“错了，荒谬了，几乎要放弃这本书了！”但过了一会儿，心中仍觉得有所不甘，于是反复阅读这些书籍，不禁感叹道：“唉，这是出自前代贤人和古代圣人的精妙思考和深刻论述，我不过是表彰阐明其内容，提出要点，列举大纲罢了，哪里敢说是著作呢？我是感慨世上那些随波逐流的人，不学无术，粗鲁草率地应付世事，自比于黄帝、岐伯，轻视地掌管人命，夸耀浮华之词，抬高身价，一天天只见他们追逐名利，一天天只见他们盲目奔走，天天拿着刀宰割生命，而自己痛苦却毫无察觉，为什么世人都习以为常而不加考察？如果发生不可测度的灾祸，只能把责任推给命运，这难道不可痛惜悲哀吗？所以我常常想到用晨钟一振来唤醒大地，因此毅然决定合刻这两本书，不惜变卖财产招募工匠，竭尽全力从事这项工作，幸好得到志同道合者的帮助，共同完成此事，又有了这样的看法。效仿佛教和道教积累福田利益的说法，将这种异传之道传播到远近各地，如同黑暗房间中的一盏灯，迷途中的渡筏。希望那些粗鲁草率的人不再轻易掌管人命；求医问药的人，也能知道如何鉴别真伪。如果不抒发我拯救众生的情怀，上体察造物主好生之德，那么未必没有微小的补益。书刻成之后，又写下几句话来表达我的志向。了解我或怪罪我，大概就在这里吧！大概就在这里吧！”
林屋无求子尤乘记
Someone asked, "Who is that person, daring to engage in writing?" Upon hearing this for the first time, I was ashamed, covered my face, and withdrew. I then reproached myself, saying, "It is wrong, it is absurd; I almost abandoned the book!" However, a moment later, feeling that my heart was not entirely at ease, I repeatedly reviewed the texts and could not help but sigh deeply, saying, "Alas, these works originate from the profound thoughts and extreme discussions of former sages and worthies. I merely highlighted and elucidated them, extracting their key points and outlining their general principles. How dare I claim this as my own creation? I am moved by indignation towards those who drift with the tide in the world: unlearned and unskilled, they rudely and carelessly cope with worldly affairs, comparing themselves to Huangdi (Yellow Emperor) and Qibo, lightly handling matters of life and death, boasting with empty words, and elevating their status. Day after day, they are seen chasing fame and fortune; day after day, they are seen blindly rushing about; day after day, they wield blades to slaughter lives, yet painfully remain unaware of their actions. Why do people in the world become accustomed to this without scrutiny? If unpredictable disasters occur, they can only resign themselves to fate. Is this not truly painful and sorrowful? Therefore, I often thought of striking a morning bell to awaken the earth. Thus, I resolutely undertook the project of jointly publishing these two books, sparing no expense in selling property to hire craftsmen, and devoting myself with all possible effort. Fortunately, I invited like-minded individuals to assist in completing this task, leading me to adopt this perspective. Emulating the Buddhist and Daoist teachings on accumulating merit and benefiting others, I aim to spread this unique transmission far and wide, like a lamp in a dark room or a raft at a confusing ford. This way, the careless will not lightly take charge of others' lives, and those seeking healing will know how to distinguish truth from falsehood. If I do not express my humble desire to save beings and align myself with the Creator's virtue of cherishing life, there might be little benefit. Now that the printing is complete, I append a few words to reveal my intentions. Whether I am understood or blamed, it lies here! It lies here!"
