莫怪其他_Not to Blame the Rest

遇到甚麼事
都拿來做修行想
因此悟到
莫怪其他

因緣是法界整體聯貫的
要怪起來　哪裡推究得完呢
怪哪一個　都是一偏之見
萬法互為因緣　漫無頭緒
若怪其餘　又要從何修起呢

無從選擇的　就接受是自身的業報
自行決定的　就了解責任終歸出乎造業
修行著力處　在於自己行止上的抉擇
　　心在眾生　目標在智悲圓融的證覺

記得釋迦老子的叮嚀
諸惡莫作　眾善奉行
自淨其意

自淨其意就莫怪其他
心就離於糾纏了

Not to Blame the Rest　Yutang Lin

Whatever came across me
Regarded it in the light of doing Dharma practice
Hence I comprehended that
Not to blame the rest

Causal conditions are connected throughout the Dharmadhatu as a whole
If one were to blame someone or something, how could the chain be exhausted
Blaming on whoever or whatever, is only a biased view
All things are mutually dependent as causes and consequences
　　　　No beginning and no end
If one were to blame the rest, where could one begin to practice Dharma

Matters of no choices, simply accept them as fruits of one's own Karma
Matters decided by oneself, simply understand that responsibility will born of activities
Applying efforts on practicing the Dharma hinges on
Personal choices in actions and inactions
　　　　　　　　　Mind abides on all sentient beings and aims at full enlightenment
　　　　　　　　　That is harmonious union of Wisdom and Compassion

Remember the earnest advice of the old father Sakyamuni
Refrain from all wrongdoings, carry out all good deeds and
Purify your own intentions and thoughts

Working on purifying your own intentions and thoughts
Then you don't blame the rest
And Mind is thus set free from entanglements
