过度 林钰堂 热诚弘法极堪夸，勇猛正行理无差； 跋 学佛者能积极、热诚弘法，并不多见，故极宜赞叹之。奈何智悲若欠均衡，有时热诚有余，考量不足，率尔行事，反而造成自他之困扰与不便。勇猛于自己所见之正行，而忽略了对方之意愿及需求，因而形成事端，也是一种我执作障的表现。行持有节，如何方为适当，见仁见智，岂得遽下评断？提出此点，正足以供我自己反省；但望也能顺带提醒一般学佛者，各自反思。
Overdone Yutang Lin Ardently propagating the Dharma is applaudable. Comment: Not many Buddhists are very active and ardent in propagation of the Dharma; hence, such Buddhists are more than praiseworthy. Nevertheless, due to imbalance of wisdom and compassion, now and then overzealous efforts would yield rush actions that lack proper considerations. Consequently, the situation could become puzzling and inconvenient for many involved. Being vigorous in acting out what one sees as a right move while overlooking the intention and need of the others involved could result in controversies. Then it would constitute a display of self-centeredness. What would constitute proper measure of our actions is a subject that different people hold different views about; how could anyone hastily pronounce a judgment? In bringing out this topic I am using the opportunity to reflect on my own actions; but I also hope that it could serve as a reminder to other practitioners for their own reflection.
