即今便修 林钰堂

修行非为谋顺吉,
即今纷杂也不移。
去执岂待境遇改?
心出樊篱便适宜。

Right Now Do the Practice Yutang Lin

Practicing the Dharma is not with a view to gain facilities;
Right now even among perplexities the aim is not swayed.
How could reducing attachment wait till environment has changed?
As soon as the mind is out of the cage, it would be fine.
