无奈　林钰堂

晴天霹雳雪上霜，世情凄惨无奈深；
筹划有穷赖心净，超乎人力仰佛恩。

跋

日日为众祈祷，深悉世间之惨痛苦楚。事情之突变往往无从预料。种种营谋，只是增加困扰，徒劳无功。无奈之现况只能逆来顺受。人力无法之处，在自己份上，只有心净可依，此外，唯有向佛陀、神明祈求赐佑。

Could Not Be Helped　Yutang Lin

Sudden thunder in sunny day, frost on top of snow,
Piteous situations in the world could not be helped.
Artificial maneuvers are limited, rely on mind pure;
Beyond human power all depend on Buddha's help.

Comment:

Daily I pray for many sentient beings. Hence I have learned deeply the pain and suffering in the world. Sudden changes in life are often unpredictable. All kinds of maneuvers and planning are just creating inconveniences without real effects. Situations as they are, are mostly could not be helped, and people could only swallow them even though they are painful. Where human endeavors could not reach, on our own part, we can rely only on our purity of mind, and in addition, we can only pray to Buddhas and gods for compassionate help.
