学无尽 林钰堂

人间相较显高下,知解难出感官圈;
孰知法界无尽藏,虚己从学识超凡。

人类知识,在人际相较之下,似乎高下悬殊。奈何受限于感官之领域,由法界观之,难免偏颇、狭隘之失。佛法教示,当虚己开怀以体会与法界本为一体之无限深广。若能信受实修,久后必有超出一般想像与见识之奇妙体验。

Learning Unlimited Yutang Lin

As compared among humans there are high and low;
Cognitive understanding goes not beyond our senses.
Who would know Dharmadhatu a mine undepletable?
Open one's mind to learn its transcendental wonders.

Comment:

Human knowledge, when compared among humans, seems to range over a wide spectrum. Nevertheless, as limited by spheres of our senses, human knowledge could not help but seem narrow and partial in light of the whole Dharmadhatu. Dharma teaches us to open our minds so as to experience the original oneness with the whole Dharmadhatu that is boundless. For those who could accept such teachings and put them into practices, in the long run they would certainly attain wondrous experiences that are beyond common knowledge and imagination.
