    君王嘉會賽唐虞,取得真經福有餘。

    千古流傳千古盛,佛光普照帝王居。

當日天晚,謝恩宴散。太宗回宮,多官回宅。唐僧等歸於洪福寺,只見寺僧磕頭 迎接。方進山門,眾僧報道:“師父,這樹頭兒今早俱忽然向東。我們記得師父 之言,遂出城來接,果然到了。”長老喜之不勝,遂入方丈。此時八戒也不嚷茶 飯,也不弄喧頭﹔行者、沙僧,個個穩重。只因道果完成,自然安靜。當晚睡了。

次早,太宗升朝,對群臣言曰:“朕思御弟之功,至深至大,無以為酬。一夜無 寐,口占幾句俚談,權表謝意,但未曾寫出。”叫:“中書官來,朕念與你,你 一一寫之。”其文蓋云: 嘗聞二儀有象,顯覆載以含生﹔四序無形,潛寒暑以化物。是以窺天鑑地,庸愚 皆識其端﹔明陰洞陽,賢哲罕窮其數。然天地包乎陰陽而易識者,以其有象也﹔ 陰陽處乎天地而難窮者,以其無形也。故知象顯可證,雖愚不惑﹔形潛莫睹,在 智猶迷。況乎佛道沖虛,乘幽空寂。宏濟萬品,典御十方。舉威靈而無上,抑神 力而無下。大之則彌於宇宙,細之則攝於毫釐。無滅無生,歷千仞而亙古﹔若潛 若顯,運百福而長今。妙道凝玄,遵導莫知其際﹔法流湛寂,挹挹莫測其源。故 知蠢蠢凡愚,區區庸鄙,投其旨趣,能無疑惑者哉?然大教之興,基乎西土。騰 漢庭而皎夢,照東域而流慈。古者卜形卜跡之時,言未馳而成化。當常見常隱之 世,民仰德而知遵。及乎晦影歸真,遷移越世,金容掩色,不鏡三千之光﹔麗像 開圖,空端四八之相。於是微言廣被,拯禽類於三途﹔遺訓遐宣,導群生於十 地。佛有經,能分大小之乘﹔更有法,傳訛邪正之術。我僧玄奘法師者,法門之 領袖也。幼懷真敏,早悟三空之功﹔長契神清,先包四忍之行。松風水月,未足 比其清華﹔仙露明珠,詎能方其朗潤?故以智通無累,神測未形。超六塵而迥 出,使千古而傳芳。凝心內境,悲正潛靈﹔栖慮玄門,多門訛謬。思欲分條,是 以翹心淨土,策杖孤征。積雪晨飛,途間失地﹔驚沙夕起,空外迷天。萬里山 川,撥煙霞而進步﹔百重寒暑,歷霜雨而前蹤。誠重勞輕,求深欲達。周遊西 宇,十有四年。窮歷異邦,詢求正教。雙林八水,味道餐風﹔鹿苑鷲峰,瞻奇仰 異。承至言於先聖,受真教於上賢。探賾妙門,精窮奧業。三乘六律之道,馳驟 於心田﹔一藏百篋之文,波濤於海口。爰自所歷之國無涯,求取之經有數。總得 大乘要文凡三十五部,計五千四十八卷,譯布中華,宣揚勝業。引慈雲於西極, 注法雨於東陲。聖教缺而復全,蒼生罪而還福。溫火宅之乾焰,共拔幽途﹔朗金 水之混波,同臻彼岸。是知惡因業墜,善以緣昇。昇墜之端,惟人自作。譬之桂 生高嶺,凌雲方得泫其華﹔蓮出綠波,飛塵不能染其葉。非蓮性自潔而桂質本 貞,由所負者高,則微物不能累﹔所憑者淨,則濁類不能沾。夫以卉木無知,猶 資善而成善,矧以人倫有識,寧不緣慶而成慶哉?方冀茲經傳佈,並日月而無窮﹔ 景福遐敷,與乾坤而永大也歟!

寫畢,即召聖僧。此時長老已在朝門外候謝,聞宣急入,行俯伏之禮。太宗傳請 上殿,將文字遞與。長老覽遍,復下謝恩,奏道:“主公文辭高古,理趣淵微。 但不知是何名目?”太宗道:“朕夜口占,答謝御弟之意,名曰《聖教序》,不 知好否?”長老叩頭,稱謝不已。太宗又曰:“朕才愧珪璋,言慚金石。至於內 典,尤所未聞。口占敘文,誠為鄙拙。穢翰墨於金簡,標瓦礫於珠林。循躬省 慮,靦面恧心。甚不足稱,虛勞致謝。”

當時多官齊賀,頂禮聖教御文,遍傳內外。太宗道:“御弟將真經演誦一番,何 如?”長老道:“主公,若演真經,須尋佛地。寶殿非可誦之處。”太宗甚喜, 即問當駕官:“長安城中,有那座寺院潔淨?”班中閃上大學士蕭瑀奏道:“城 中有一雁塔寺潔淨。”太宗即令多官:“把真經各虔捧幾卷,同朕到雁塔寺,請 御弟談經去來。”

多官遂各各捧著,隨太宗駕幸寺中,搭起高臺,鋪設齊整。長老仍命八戒、沙僧 牽龍馬,理行囊﹔行者在我左右。”又向太宗道:“主公欲將真經傳流天下,須 當謄錄副本,方可佈散。原本還當珍藏,不可輕褻。”太宗又笑道:“御弟之言 甚當,甚當。”隨召翰林院及中書科各官謄寫真經。又建一寺在城之東,名曰謄 黃寺。

長老捧幾卷登臺,方欲諷誦,忽聞得香風繚繞,半空中有八大金剛現身,高叫

道:“誦經的放下經卷,跟我回西去也。”這底下行者三人連白馬,平地而起﹔

長老亦將經卷丟下,也從臺上起於九霄,相隨騰空而去。慌得那太宗與多官望空

下拜。這正是:

    聖僧努力取經編,西宇周流十四年。

    苦歷程途遭患難,多經山水受迍邅。

    功完八九還加九,行滿三千及大千。

    大覺妙文回上國,至今東土永留傳。

太宗與多官拜畢,即選高僧,就於雁塔寺裏,修建水陸大會,看誦大藏真經,超 脫幽冥孽鬼,普施善慶。將謄錄過經文,傳播天下不題。

卻說八大金剛駕香風,引著長老四眾,連馬五口,復轉靈山。連去連來,適在八 日之內。此時靈山諸神,都在佛前聽講。八金剛引他師徒進去,對如來道:“弟 子前奉金旨,駕送聖僧等已到唐國,將經交納,今特繳旨。”遂叫唐僧等近前受 職。如來道:“聖僧,汝前世原是我之二徒,名喚金蟬子。因為汝不聽說法,輕 慢我之大教,故貶汝之真靈,轉生東土。今喜皈依,秉我迦持,又乘吾教,取去 真經,甚有功果,加陞大職正果,汝為旃檀功德佛。──孫悟空,汝因大鬧天 宮,吾以甚深法力,壓在五行山下,幸天災滿足,歸於釋教﹔。且喜汝隱惡揚 善,在途中煉魔降怪有功,全終全始,加陞大職正果,汝為鬥戰勝佛。──豬悟 能,汝本天河水神天蓬元帥,為汝蟠桃會上酗酒戲了仙娥,貶汝下界投胎,身如 畜類。幸汝記愛人身,在福陵山雲棧洞造孽,喜歸大教,入我沙門,保聖僧在 路,卻又有頑心,色情未泯。因汝挑擔有功,加陞汝職正果,做淨壇使者。”八 戒口中嚷道:“他們都成佛,如何把我做個淨壇使者?”如來道:“因汝口壯身 慵,食腸寬大。蓋天下四大部洲,瞻仰吾教者甚多,凡諸佛事,教汝淨壇,乃是 個有受用的品級,如何不好?──沙悟淨,汝本是捲簾大將。先因蟠桃會上打碎 玻璃盞,貶汝下界,汝落於流沙河,傷生吃人造孽。幸皈吾教,誠敬迦持,保護 聖僧,登山牽馬有功,加陞大職正果,為金身羅漢。”又叫那白馬:“汝本是西 洋大海廣晉龍王之子,因汝違逆父命,犯了不孝之罪。幸得皈身皈法,皈我沙 門,每日家虧你馱負聖僧來西,又虧你馱負聖經去東,亦有功者,加陞汝職正 果,為八部天龍馬。”

長老四眾,俱各叩頭謝恩。馬亦謝恩訖。仍命揭諦引了馬,下靈山後崖化龍池 邊,將馬推入池中。須臾間,那馬打個展身,即退了毛皮,換了頭角,渾身上長 起金鱗,腮頷下生出銀鬚,一身瑞氣,四爪祥雲,飛出化龍池,盤繞在山門裏擎 天華表柱上。諸佛讚揚如來的大法。

孫行者卻又對唐僧道:“師父,此時我已成佛,與你一般,莫成還戴金箍兒,你 還念甚麼緊箍咒掯勒我?趁早兒念個鬆箍兒咒,脫下來,打得粉碎,切莫叫那甚 麼菩薩再去捉弄他人。”唐僧道:“當時只為你難管,故以此法制之。今已成佛 ,自然去矣,豈有還在你頭上之理?你試摸摸看。”行者舉手去摸一摸,果然無 之。

此時旃檀佛、鬥戰佛、淨壇使者、金身羅漢俱正果了本位,天龍馬亦自歸真。有

詩為證。詩曰:

    一體真如轉落塵,合和四相復修身。

    五行論色空還寂,百怪虛名總莫論。

    正果旃檀歸大覺,完成品職脫沉淪。

    經傳天下恩光闊,五聖高居不二門。

五聖果位之時,諸眾佛祖、菩薩、聖僧、羅漢、揭諦、比丘、優婆夷塞、各山各 洞神仙、大神、丁甲、功曹、伽藍、土地,一切得道的師仙,始初俱來聽講,至 此各歸方位。你看那: 靈鷲峰頭聚霞彩,極樂世界集祥雲。金龍穩臥,玉虎安然。烏兔任隨來往,龜蛇 憑汝盤旋。丹鳳青鸞情爽爽,玄猿白鹿意怡怡。八節奇花,四時仙果。喬松古 檜,翠柏修篁。五色梅時開時結,萬年桃時熟時新。千果千花爭秀,一天瑞靄紛 紜。

大眾合掌皈依,都念:     “南無燃燈上古佛。南無藥師琉璃光王佛。南無釋迦牟尼佛。南無過去 未來現在佛。南無清淨喜佛。南無毘盧尸佛。南無寶幢王佛。南無彌勒尊佛。南 無阿彌陀佛。南無無量壽佛。南無接引歸真佛。南無金剛不壞佛。南無寶光佛。 南無龍尊王佛。南無精進善佛。南無寶月光佛。南無現無愚佛。南無婆留那佛。 南無那羅延佛。南無功德華佛。南無才功德佛。南無善遊步佛。南無旃檀光佛。 南無摩尼幢佛。南無慧炬照佛。南無海德光明佛。南無大慈光佛。南無慈力王 佛。南無賢善首佛。南無廣莊嚴佛。南無金華光佛。南無才光明佛。南無智慧勝 佛。南無世靜光佛。南無日月光佛。南無日月珠光佛。南無慧幢勝王佛。南無妙 音聲佛。南無常光幢佛。南無觀世燈佛。南無法勝王佛。南無須彌光佛。南無大 慧力王佛。南無金海光佛。南無大通光佛。南無才光佛。南無旃檀功德佛。南無 鬥戰勝佛。南無觀世音菩薩。南無大勢至菩薩。南無文殊菩薩。南無普賢菩薩。 南無清淨大海眾菩薩。南無蓮池海會佛菩薩。南無西天極樂諸菩薩。南無三千揭 諦大菩薩。南無五百阿羅大菩薩。南無比丘夷塞尼菩薩。南無無邊無量法菩薩。 南無金剛大士聖菩薩。南無淨壇使者菩薩。南無八寶金身羅漢菩薩。南無八部天 龍廣力菩薩。如是等一切世界諸佛:     願以此功德,莊嚴佛淨土。     上報四重恩,下濟三途苦。     若有見聞者,悉發菩提心。     同生極樂國,盡報此一身。

十方三世一切佛,諸尊菩薩摩訶薩,摩訶般若波羅密。”

《西遊記》至此終。
