心空_Blank Mind

心空
方能聽進訴苦

心空
便即感受當前

心空
無作意中閒暇

心空
有所作皆利眾

心空
靈感自然出現

心空
感應加被到達

念念佛號
漸漸淨心
念止本空
應用無窮

Blank Mind　Yutang Lin

Mind blank
Only so can complaints be heard

Mind blank
Immediately perceives whatever present

Mind blank
Leisure born of absence of intentions

Mind blank
All endeavors benefit all sentient beings

Mind blank
Inspiration arises naturally

Mind blank
Inspirational blessings arrive

Thought after thought of Buddha's epithet
Gradually purifies the mind
As thoughts cease, originally blank
Applications are inexhaustible
