夫以五千道德元幽，开众妙之门。六一金丹吐纳，授长生之诀。黄庭内景，籍藴瑶京。紫字灵书，文成碧落。性命无非圭旨，法符悉具真诠。
以故探至道于崆峒，黄帝犹勤其询访。考遗编于柱下，宣尼且奉为师承。诚以抱一含元本仙真之妙谛，不等步虚控景，侈方士之诡谈也。
都城之西偏有白云观，邱真人修真之地也。溯自霞岛幽楼，雪山召对，行云弄电，更显神秘与遥远；敬天爱民，如同契飞龙之德。在此地，以一言止杀，为宫则万古长春。
迨苍纪既属乎有明，而白云始以之名观。不仅高轩缥缈，上出层霄，更有飞阁逶迤，与世隔绝；元夜灯花初遏时艳春三，加上诞辰汤饼方开节传燕九，使得盛况如斯。
洎乎我朝，每次迭加葺治，都仿佛乎丹房玉局、依稀乎紫府清都。而西山爽气遥连北阙祥光低护，让人感受到了仙境的美好，即便红尘扰攘，也应殊海外神山；但丹室清幽信，是人间福地之一。
然而金台紫馆固是仙迹所凭依；麟脯羊珠尤是真灵餐饭。此处栋宇兴歌夫轮奂、鼎彝未荐馨香，则楼阁玲珑足称仙人好盘盂冷淡犹循辟谷方，其何妥神灵昭恭敬耶？
