正意　林钰堂

洞察我执害无穷，一念涉己已中邪；
敬谨正意缘众苦，修行回向普救脱。

跋

意念与己有关，即已离于觉悟。行者当时常缘想众生的种种苦，而以修行回向，平等救渡一切。

Straightening Thoughts　Yutang Lin

Seeing through the ill consequences of self-centeredness,
One thought involving oneself means already bewildered.
With pure mind contemplate often the suffering of beings,
Dedicate merits of Dharma practices equally to save all.

Comment:

Thoughts that involve one's self are already astray from enlightened awakening. A Dharma practitioner should often contemplate the various sufferings of sentient beings, and dedicate the merits of Dharma practices equally to all beings in order to save them from such suffering.
