唯嫌拣择 林钰堂 是非对立偏颇生，无不自在真解脱； 跋 佛是无入而不自得的，于一切处境无有嫌怨。学佛者于处境有顺逆之想，喜恶之心，皆是由于执着未逝；对他人的批评是非，与他人的对立，往往基于偏颇的自以为是。若能如此了解，则当避免陷入世间的诤执，而以纯善的心地专志于修行及弘法的服务，才有可能从纠缠不休的世间局限中安然超脱。禅宗三祖僧璨大师之〈信心铭〉有云：“至道无难，唯嫌拣择”；此之谓欤？
Abhorring only Picking Yutang Lin Right or wrong, antagonism was born from preference. Comment: Buddha remains at ease under any circumstance, and hence has no complain whatsoever. When a practitioner holds a situation to be favorable or adverse, pleasing or abhorring, he is under the conditioning of attachment. Criticism to and antagonism with others often are based on one-sided and self-centered prejudice. When one understands the above, one should avoid falling into the trap of worldly entanglements. Instead, with pure motive one would dedicate one's time and energy to Dharma practices and services. Only in this way could one safely sail through the suffering sea of worldliness. Seng Can, the third patriarch of Chan School in China, composed a famous short essay called "An Article on Faith." It began by saying, "The ultimate path has no difficulty; it abhors only picking." Perhaps the comment above could serve as an explanation to this statement.
