看此清澈浴塘水中
映現無盡開闊之晴空
脫去俗慮，赤裸裸地
洗盡塵垢，自在融入
本來清淨的大圓境界
跋
弟子王浩請我以毛筆寫出一些拙詩。我讓弟子們及佛友眾選詩，而以曾受感動或認為重要者為限。
「林鈺堂」曾有「淋浴堂」之諧音聯想，見舊作。此次書詩，欲以「鈺堂」署名以示親切，而思及「浴塘」，更添詩意。將來輯成一冊，即名之曰：浴塘游詠。
內子琇瑩曾書拙詩數首，亦當補於此集之後，以為紀念。

Subject: Book Request_求書
Disciple Wang Hao wanted me to select some of my Chinese
poems to put them into calligraphy; see his request in Chinese in the attached file.
弟子王浩希望我能從我中文詩作中選一些作品來書寫成書，請看附呈他以中文書寫的請求檔案。
I am busy and do not intend to do a thorough search through
my poems, nor do I intend to write many. So I am sending this to all on my
list, suggesting that, if you found some of my poems that moved you much or
were very much appreciated by you, then let me know about them.
In this way there will be a few that I will choose from to write.
我很忙碌而且不打算從頭至尾的去搜尋我的詩作，也不打算寫太多。因此我傳這個電郵給我名單中所有的人，建議，如果您們認為我詩作中有哪些令您們很感動或者非常的欣賞，那麼就讓我知道。這麼一來，我就可以從中挑些出來寫。
No hurry about this.
這個不急。
Attain Enlightenment Soon!
祝早成佛！

世尊陛下：
詩偈墨妙，歷祖垂化之方便，人天渴仰之依歸。弟子不才，願代眾祈請師佛親選所作金剛道歌，于暇時書翰，圓成寶笈，光被千秋，德澤萬世！我等供養澄觀，手摹心賞，亦必能早識本面矣！

Poems from the Bath Pond Yutang Lin
Look! In the water of this clean and clear bath pond
Boundlessly open sunny sky appears in reflection.
Take off worldly considerations, nakedly immerse
To wash away earthly dusts, and then remain at ease
In the originally pure realm of limitless oneness.
Comments:
Disciple Wang Hao asked me to select and then write some of my Chinese poems in calligraphy. So I asked disciples and Dharma friends to offer their selections but limit the choices to only poems that moved them or were deemed important to them.
The pronunciation of my name in Chinese, Lin Yu Tang, is the sameas that of "Shower Hall" in Chinese, and I wrote about this in a work years ago. This time in doing the calligraphy I intended to use only Yu Tang to indicate affection for these poems. And then I thought of "Bath Pond" in Chinese as having the same pronunciation but more poetic. Hence, in the future when all these poems by me in my calligraphy are compiled together into a book, the title will be, Yu Tang You Yong, Poems from the Bath Pond.
In the past my wife Shou Yean had done calligraphy for a few poems by me. These will also be included in this book in recognition of her contribution to the Dharma services.
