Inscription on painting
Quanshi Zongle全室宗泐 (1318–1391), 6 columns in standard script, undated; 1 seal:
Like a speck of dust, ephemeral is the body,
So is the doctrine ephemeral, like a speck of dust.
Only when all sentient beings and the world attain emptiness
Will Guanyin’s all-compassionate heart rest.[1]
Written by Monk Zongle of the Tianjie Monastery with utmost respect. [Seal]: Seng Zongle yin
塵塵刹刹身，刹刹塵塵說。
眾生世界空，大士悲心歇。
天界釋宗泐九拜書。 [印]：僧宗泐印
