Moving or Staying

Yutang Lin

While staying at one place
Kept comparing incessantly
And complaining unceasingly in mind
Such a mental state and attitude would remain the same anywhere
If one sincerely would like to practice Dharma
Rather stay on to practice pacifying the mind

While staying at one place
Mind is open and clear
As matters arise one remains at ease
Such a mental state and attitude would find ease at any place
If one sincerely would like to practice Dharma
One could readily establish Dharma connections as conditions arise
And the question of moving or staying will be no more
