觉路无争 林钰堂

无我道上与谁争?私心自障当移开。
寥廓性地任耕耘,春华秋实自然来。

觉路无我,何来竞逐之对象?所当务者唯在认清私心自障,而移转之。空性无有边限;一分耕耘,时至自然一分收获。

No Competition on the Path of Awakening Yutang Lin

On the path of non-self who is there to compete with?
Hindrances created by selfishness should be removed.
Wide and deep field of realization is open to cultivation.
Naturally spring blossoms and autumn harvests will arrive.

Comment:

There is no self on the path of awakening; where could a competitor come from? The work to do is only to recognize hindrances created by one's own grasping and turn them around into opportunities for growth. Blank essence sets no limitation. According to how one cultivates, corresponding harvest will come naturally in time.
