As Seen from Buddha's Eyes
Yutang Lin
On the practice path of Dharma plenty are
Hindrances and difficulties
Arose from one's mind and intertwined with exterior causal conditions
If seen from one's own point of view
Extremely difficult to break through and dismantle
Because from the outset personal views and preferences would
Pull and push at every turn and corner
As seen from Buddha's eyes there is no limitation nor boundaries
For a Dharma practitioner to emerge from perplexities
Better learn to see as seen from Buddha's eyes
As soon as one's panorama is opened up
Incessantly self-torturing knots in mind and worldly affairs
Amid uncountable sentient beings' eternal bewilderment
Become too trivial to remain problems
If a practitioner assumes that there is certain amount or degree of
Self-sacrifice, merits, comprehension, realization
As seen from Buddha's eyes, once the panorama is opened up
Those would also become too trivial to worth mentioning
May our practice path be constantly viewed as seen from Buddha's eyes
So that progress remains smooth and safe, swift and swell
