体佛慈怀　林钰堂

感恩虔呼发自心，佛慈何尝宠唯一？
放眼法界咸同体，体佛悲悯便共鸣。

跋

日前敬造〈药师如来证契仪轨〉时，将昔时所作之〈感恩虔呼〉加入赞颂节内。该等虔呼虽仅就个人体验而发乎一人之心，但佛慈平等普及一切众生，未尝只为一人而行救渡，因此吾侪善体佛陀慈怀之深广，当随此等虔呼而起共鸣，故宜充供众同修之用。

Appreciating Buddha's Comapssion　Yutang Lin

Calling on Buddha out of gratitude that stemmed from my heart,
Has Buddha's compassion ever be favored only on any one being?
Opening one's sight to the whole Dharmadhatu, all are in oneness.
Appreciating Buddha's universal compassion, we praise in unison.

Comments:

A few days ago while reverently composing the "Medicine Guru Buddha Unification Sadhana" I included hailing taken from an earlier work "Hail to Medicine Guru Buddha" into the section on praises. Although those hailing were based on one's personal experiences and stemmed from only one person's mind, nevertheless, Buddha's mercy is universally extended equally to all beings, and never aim at only the salvation of just one person, hence as we comprehend and appreciate the depth and expanse of Buddha's compassionate mind we should hail in unison with such sincere and devout hailing. Therefore, such hailing is appropriate for all to adopt in practice.
