學忽略　林鈺堂

人生精明能多久
管到東來　管不到西
處處精明累倒自心
得過且過　能放放

太過精明　彼此負擔重
似甚聰明　奈何智淺
修學忽略　彼此寬鬆
就算吃虧　安寧無價

小事馬虎　看似愚昧
心地得閒　方能修行
一旦成證　普濟無盡
此生未虛渡　唯智者得之

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 二○○八年三月十八日

Learning to Overlook

Learning to Overlook　Yutang Lin

How should a Dharma practitioner's way be
Just observe if state of mind is becoming more relaxed
As matters arise, be empathetic and more tolerant
Saying things in an impartial and peaceful manner

If always mindful of details and think elaborately
Making derisive statements in counting others' faults
Mentioning oneself in excessively abasing terms
Then absence of self has not been comprehended

After long-term practices and yet became entangled by trifles
Thus causing deep sympathy in Buddhas and patriarchs
