多植佛缘 林钰堂 听闻不易信受难，满园花放蜂几采？ 跋 曾有不识之佛教徒来信，请我提供关于死亡之拙作，以供彼写作之参考。后来又自谓，已有太多此方面之作品，而终止其著述。 愚见则异乎彼，不因已有他人之著述，而不进行自己想作的文章。良以机缘无定，佛书虽多，有缘接触及信受者仍在少数。吾人有志弘法，只有各各多多努力，不断著述、印赠，才能尽量接引更多的初机。

Comment: Once I received a letter from a Buddhist, whom I did not have the pleasure to be acquainted with, requesting me to send my works on dying to help her write on the subject. Happily I obliged accordingly. Later she wrote again saying that the project had been discontinued, and citing as a main reason that there were already many works on this topic. My view is different. I do not stop writing on a subject that I have something to say even though others have already treated it. The reason is that, even though there are many books on the Dharma, there is no guarantee that they would all reach needy and appreciative minds. There remains only a few who have the opportunity to get to know the Dharma and develop faith in the teachings. Those of us who are dedicated to the spreading of the Buddhist teachings should each does his or her best by continuously engaging in writing on Dharma topics and printing them for free distribution. Only in this fashion could the maximal number of novices be reached and helped.
