业障　林钰堂

业障解说虽虚玄，能获深信必有据；
危急险境疑难症，屡凭祈祷速解消。

跋

人生一切困苦，佛法皆以业障解说。业障乃抽象观念，何以能获深信？久修者皆知，许多危急而无救之险恶处境，或是医药罔效之疑难重症，却有单凭祈祷与佛事功德回向而得消解的。若非冥冥之中有业障之作用以及佛事对治之功效，如何能有此等感应事迹？

Karmic Hindrance　Yutang Lin

Karmic hindrance seems explanation mysterious;
Winning deep faith must due to some experience.
Imminent danger and incurable equivocal disease,
Now and then reduced or relieved through prayer.

Comment:

Difficulties and sufferings in life are explained in Buddhism as symptoms of karmic hindrances. Karmic hindrance is an abstract concept; how could it win deep faith? People who have practiced for years all know that, many dangerous but incorrigible situations or chronic incurable equivocal diseases have been relieved through prayers and dedication of merits of Dharma activities. Unless in the realm beyond human perception there are operations of karmic hindrances and antidotal effects of Dharma activities, how could there be such inspirational incidents?
