寶蓮如來並蓮佛，未見經載幸夢傳；
淨宗密乘咸景仰，出泥不染超逸姿。
跋
清晨夢中得知「寶蓮如來」、「並蓮如來」之聖號。此非常見者，有緣得知，敬謹紀錄，以免忘失。蓮表清淨出塵，在淨土經中及密乘法相，皆屢屢出現。

Holy Names Revealed Yutang Lin
Precious Lotus Tathagata, Double Lotus Tathagata,
Not recorded in sutras but revealed through dream.
Pureland School and Vajrayana both adore
Purity beyond contamination although stemming from mud.
Comment:
Early this morning I learned of the holy names, Precious Lotus Tathagata and Double Lotus Tathagata, in a dream. These are not well-known names. Fortunately they were revealed to me, so I respectfully record them lest they be lost in memory. Lotus represents purity beyond worldly contamination. In Pureland sutras and Vajrayana teachings lotuses are frequently mentioned.
