涟漪 林钰堂
风来波动生涟漪，圈圈交涉幻网织；
峰起谷落同一水，高低随缘渐远传。
跋
放眼法界之深远无限，世事诚微渺。奈何一般皆随世间情势而波动不已，更陷于自我之小圈内，旋绕不止。依佛法修行，可使心境远离世事之纠缠，恢复清明、宁静，而得以醒悟法界之无限开阔，以及世事之无常，不足计较。于此觉悟之心地中，再藉日常生活之行止，来展现法界一体之智悲融通。如此，则人生不仅是经过净化，更升华为菩提行愿矣！

Disciple Min Rong Rong suggested my Bodhi Vows; she said that when she first read it she was shaken by the great vows.

The other two poems were suggested by my wife; both of us like
these two poems.

Ripples Yutang Lin
Wind comes, waves swing, ripples are there;
Rings crossing rings, an illusive web weaved.
Crests and troughs, all from water the same;
Now high, now low, gradually spreading afar.
Comments:
In view of the limitless depth and breadth of Dharmadhatu worldly affairs are indeed of minor significance. Nevertheless, most people are floating up and down the rapids of worldly circumstances, and even trapped circling within the tiny maze of self-centeredness. Living one's life in accordance with Buddhist principles and cultivating Dharma practices would enable the mind to stay away from worldly entanglements. Furthermore, the mind would gradually resume its natural clarity and tranquility. Then one would realize the limitless openness of the Dharmadhatu and the transient nature of worldly affairs. From such awareness one would then convey the wisdom and compassion of limitless oneness through actions and inaction in daily life. Thus, life is not just purified but also sublimated into activities based on Bodhicitta vows.
