万象迁异似川流，机缘巧合太难值；
迟疑一起情势改，纵知回头不复昔！

跋

世间聚散，道上行止，同属无常，川流不息。巧合难值，信纯方契；猜疑一起，格格不入。情景俱改，欲续无由；纵知反顾，无猜不复！

最敬爱的师佛，
可否请师佛在《浴塘游咏》的诗集中的扉页及末页加上师佛的〝四无量心”及〝愿文″回向？另有以下几首，也请求师佛的墨宝。

F0715深寂、F0233深心结缘、F0981真情、F1044欲休还语、F1112静、F1137稍纵即逝、F1165苦口、F1175拣择。

F1137　稍纵即逝

很多时候，机会只在一霎那，错过了再也不复返。因缘也因种种的条件而改变，难得有学佛的因缘，真要好好把握，否则谁能保证下一世还有机缘修习佛法呢？

Fleeting Windows of Opportunity　Yutang Lin

All phenomena evolve and transform as a river flows.
Opportune opportunities are too difficult to come by.
Hesitation due to suspicion would change the situation.
Even if redeemed later, no longer the same as before!

Comment:

Gathering or dispersing in worldly matters, proceeding or stopping on the Dharma path, all are impermanent, just as a river flows incessantly. Matching concurrences are rare to come by, only pure faith could sustain them. As soon as suspicion arises, no communion in any way. Both feelings and situations had changed, no means to continue. Even though later one might learn to reflect, Alas! Suspicion-free no more!
