面对法界 林钰堂

衡量人我皆偏见,因果缘起岂能限?
整体相关定行止,莫落圈内随瞎忙。

人际的考量皆是各有立场的偏见。实际的演变,因缘太繁杂,岂是各自出乎私心的如意算盘所能操纵的?明乎此理,则不应仍随世俗而瞎忙一生,而要就对法界整体的影响来决定个人生活的重心所在。个人行止的意义,不在世间的评价,而在于其对法界整体有无贡献。

Facing Dharmadhatu Yutang Lin

Considerations related to relations are biased;
How could causal conditions be manipulated?
Deciding one actions by all relevant factors,
Not to fall into the circle of blind commotion.

Comment:

Considerations of personal relations are prejudices based on each one stand. Actual evolution of events involve too many complications; how could it be manipulated by anyone self-centered wishful thinking? Realizing this point, one should not follow the worldly way to spend life in blind bustling. Instead, one had better decide the central activities of one life by considering how they will affect the whole Dharmadhatu in the long run. The significance of one activities does not rest in worldly evaluations but in their contribution to the whole Dharmadhatu.
