善用身心　林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

身心閒置易積病，懶散超出賴常操，
隨時演練契善巧，服務創新展潛能。

跋

身心閒置易生積弊。常課做純粹的運用，如步行、念佛、拜佛、練健身球、誦經、習定，深呼吸，等等，日久不但可克服懶散之習氣，並且可以契入運用之善巧。吾人之潛能往往未及開發即已隨命終而歸於無用，殊為可惜。善於利用身心，可以圓滿開發潛能，進而貢獻於服務大眾，不負此生。願有志上進之士，咸注意之。

Use Body and Mind Well　Yutang Lin

Body and mind left idle would easily become dysfunctional;
Transcending laziness depends on regular exercises.
Constant practice would mature into ingenious uses;
Breakthrough in services comes from developing potentials.

Comment:

Idle mind and body easily become sluggish or ill. Regular exercises using pure applications of body and mind such as walking, chanting the name of a Buddha, prostration to Buddha, playing health balls, reciting sutras, meditation, deep breathing, etc., maintained over a long period of time would, not only diminish the habit of being lazy but also mature such applications to the level of ingenuity. Human potentials are often left undeveloped throughout life, and become useless at death. What a waste! Putting body and mind to good use could help fully develop all potentials toward making contributions to the society, so that this life does not become worthless. May all those who are dedicated to improving themselves and the society would pay attention to this point.
