介绍（中）	这套九手卷轴中的关键场景描绘了佛教净土学派创始人僧人法年（1133-1212 年）为他最重要的弟子之一新兰（1173-1262 年）刻下自己的肖像。年轻的神兰，从他浓密的眉毛很容易辨认出来，耐心地等待着他的主人誊写佛经中的一段话，其中佛陀阿弥陀（梵语：Amitābha）发誓要拯救所有呼唤他名字的人。Hōnen题写的肖像是作为悬挂在房间中央的画作的复制品制作的。这幅画描绘了弘年，头顶有一个莲花基座，上面可以看到"尊敬阿弥陀佛的名字"中的"佛陀"字样。《昭光德传》是弘年几部插图传记之一，由新兰的亲戚角尹（卒于 1351 年）于 1301 年编纂，以巩固他作为新兰合法继承人的地位。这幅画来自丢失原件的早期副本。这里插图前面的文字部分实际上属于同一卷轴的另一部分，描述了弘年对山岛画像的崇拜。与此处保存的文本相关的绘画已丢失。
介绍（英）	This pivotal scene from a nine-handscroll set depicts the monk Hōnen (1133–1212), founder of the Pure Land School of Buddhism, inscribing a portrait of himself for one of his foremost disciples, Shinran (1173–1262). The young Shinran, easily recognizable by his bushy eyebrows, waits patiently as his master transcribes a passage from a sutra in which the Buddha Amida (Sanskrit: Amitābha) vows to save all those who call his name. The portrait Hōnen inscribes was made as a copy of the painting hanging in the center of the room. That painting depicts Hōnen with a lotus pedestal above his head, upon which the character for “Buddha,” from the phrase “Hail the name of Amida Buddha,” is visible. The Shūikotokuden-e, one of several illustrated biographies of Hōnen, was compiled in 1301 by Shinran’s relative Kakunyo (died 1351) in order to consolidate his position as Shinran’s rightful successor. This painting comes from an early copy of the lost original. The text portion preceding the illustration here actually belongs to another section of the same scroll, and describes Hōnen’s veneration of a portrait of Shandao. The painting associated with the text preserved here is lost.
