學忽略 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

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
此生未虛度 唯智者得之

Learning to Overlook

Learning to Overlook


Learning to Overlook Yutang Lin

How long could one remain watchful to all details in life
When attention paid to certain matters, the rest must be overlooked
Staying alert on watching over all details would soon wear out one's mind
When it is passable, let it pass; what can be let go, let it go

Being too vigilant renders all sides heavily burdened
Seems rather smart, nevertheless wisdom shallow
Learn and practice to overlook, so all may become at ease
Even at a loss, the peace and harmony ensued is priceless

Being unobservant over trifles, seems stupid
Mind gained leisure, only then can one engage in Dharma practices
Once attainment realized, universal salvation will be everlasting
This life not wasted, only wise ones could achieve this
