GOSHO 立正安国論33 正しく一凶の所帰を明かす十

是(ここ)に於て代(よ)末代に及び人(ひと)・聖人(しょうにん)に非ず、各(おのおの)冥衢(みょうく)に容(い)つて並びに直道(じきどう)を忘る、

Now we have come to this latter age, when people are no longer sages. Each enters his own dark road, and all alike forget the direct way.

Now Latter Day of the Low has come, the time when sages are no longer found. Each and every person has been led into a dark maze and has become oblivious to the correct path to Buddhahood.

悲いかな瞳矇(どうもう)を打(う)たず、痛(いたまし)いかな徒(いたずら)に邪信を催(もよお)す、（注：「打」は略字。原典は「扌」偏(へん)に「尌」をつける）

How pitiful that no one cures them of their blindness! How painful to see them taking up these false beliefs in vain!

How sad it is that there is no one who can correct this error and eliminate this illusion！How painful it is that these evil heresies are allowed to disseminate！

故に上(かみ)国王より下(しも)土民に至るまで皆(みな)経は浄土三部の外(ほか)に経無く、仏は弥陀三尊(さんぞん)の外(ほか)の仏無しと謂(おも)えり。

As a result, everyone from the ruler of the nation on down to the common people believes that there are no true sutras outside the three Pure Land sutras, and no Buddhas other than the Buddha Amida with his two attendants.

Thus, from the ruler down to the commoners, everyone has come to believe that there are no scriptures other than the three pure land sutras and that no Buddhas exist other than Amida Buddha and his two accompanying bodhisattvas who are revered in Jōdo sect.
