勿随他转 林钰堂 净心弘法施普门，应机劝导偶而为； 跋 弘法当平等普施一切有缘。若遇自行其是而违逆法理者，则宜本慈悲心，于适当机缘，提供劝导。但不可勉强及坚持己劝，以至于成为不智之争执。当了解种种众生有不同的见地与行为，因此衍生法界中之万象缤纷，故宜以开阔如法界之心胸而包容之，而超越之，不复计较。不要因为他人之造业，而将之引为自心烦恼的根由。各有因缘果报，不需陷入纠缠。多一个清净的心地，方能为世间添一分清平与祥和。 一九九八年十二月八日 Do Not Trail Along Yutang Lin With pure mind to spread the Dharma to all equally; Comment: In propagating the Dharma, one should, with an equal mind, provide service to all who comes into contact. If someone is doing his own thing in conflict with the teachings of Buddhism, then, based on compassion, admonishment and advices should be given at appropriate occasions. However, it could not be pushed and insisted to the extent that unwise disputes arise. All sorts of sentient beings with variant views and behaviors yield the colorful phenomena as we witness. With such an understanding, one should tolerate all varieties with a mind as open and broad as the whole Dharmadhatu. Thus one may transcend disputes and discord, and no longer bound within quarreling. Do not trail along others?commitment into making it a source of one own sorrows and worries. Each has his own causes, conditions and the resulting consequences; there is no need to be trapped into entanglements. Only when there is one more mind clear and peaceful, will there be one more chance of a world in peace and harmony. Written in Chinese: December 8, 1998 [Home][Back to list][Do Not Trail Along] |
