學錯 　林鈺堂

學佛難成猶可愍，奈何迷失欠反省；
我慢嗔怒絕宿緣，樊籬自樹豈解脫？

跋

學佛難成，只因光陰極易虛渡。修行得力，全賴反省自己的偏執。解脫之道，在於去貪、嗔、癡。若是行徑已經背離，而猶不能自覺，則為學錯矣！

Mistakenly Learned　Yutang Lin

Difficulty in reaching enlightenment could win sympathy.
Lack of self-reflection under delusion could not be helped.
In arrogant rage cutting off relations without good reasons,
How could fence building be in accord with emancipation?

Comment:

Enlightenment would be hard to reach only because time is easily wasted. To be effective in Dharma practices one needs to be able to reflect on one's prejudices and grasping. The path to emancipation consists of getting rid of greed, anger and ignorance. If a practitioner's actions have already deviated from the right path, and yet self-reflection is still lacking, then he or she has learned the Dharma mistakenly.
