冒滥　林钰堂

名相雷同质云泥，谬以天渊岂类伦；
成证渡生妄自訏，南柯一梦蚁穴中。

跋

陈师常示，密宗行人之通病是“冒滥”，亦即名实不符。佛理精微，证量难达。往往有人，或欠自知之明，或存欺诳之心，自号“师”、“佛”，以盲导迷，造堕落之因，结牵缠之缘，令人为之悲悯不已。

Counterfeit　Yutang Lin

Under same name are differences between cloud and mud.
A distance of heaven and abyss, how could they be akin?
Realization and salvation are professed in delusion;
Similar to a dreamer's life passed within ant colony.

Comment:

Yogi Chen often taught that a common illness of many tantric practitioners is "counterfeiting," i.e., to claim beyond reality. Buddhist theories are very subtle and profound, while their realization is difficult to achieve. Nevertheless, now and again there are people who, either out of inability to know their own limits or with intention to deceit others, professed to be Gurus or Buddhas. They blindly lead deluded followers and thus plant the seed of downfall while engaging in building entangling connections. How pitiable is such folly!
