回歸真實　林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

正覺無關時地限，切莫誤認隨流行；
真誠開展契法界，平實深廣不可量。

跋

正覺非一時一地局限中所能契入。佛法修行人若誤執名相，追隨流行，則往往徒有學佛之名，而愈行愈遠。重點是在真誠開展，有如面對全法界，三世十方一切聖眾及有情，而由之起心動念，發為言行。如此年深日久，自然漸漸契入無可造作、量度之法界真實。

Return to Reality　 Yutang Lin

Right awakening is irrelevant to limitations of time and space;
Do avoid following fashion and falling victim to misrepresentation.
Simply expand sincerity to merge into the limitless Dharmadhatu;
Be plain and natural, with depth and width immeasurable.

Comment:

Right awakening cannot emerge within the confine of locality and time frame. If a Buddhist practitioner mistakenly holds onto names and formality and follows the fashion, then he will be a Buddhist in name only but actually walks further and further astray. The key is to expand sincerity as if facing all holy beings and sentient beings in the whole Dharmadhatu, and, based on such awakening, to motivate and conduct oneself in thinking, speech and action. After years of such practice one would naturally and gradually merge into the reality of the Dharmadhatu which is beyond manipulation and measurement.
