心唯菩提 林钰堂

心唯菩提不计较,一视同仁任去来;
目注解脱何纷扰?可怜迷妄犹自缚。

欲得解脱,当念菩提。常念菩提,任运解脱。境转缘迁,菩提无异。聚散去来,青天浮云。唯悯迷执,犹陷自缚。

Mind Set on Bodhi Yutang Lin

Mind set on Bodhi, free from grasping to trifles,
Seeing all as equals, let others come and go at will.
Eye fixed at Liberation, where could bothers arise?
What a pity that deluded ones remain self-bound.

Comments:

To attain liberation one should be mindful of Bodhi. Constantly settingmind on Bodhi one remains liberated as events unfold. As circumstances turn and conditions move, Bodhi remains constant. Gathering or dispersing, leaving or arriving, floating clouds in the blue sky. Only feels pitiful for those grasping out of delusion that they are still trapped in self-bondage.
