莫随他执　林钰堂

心中想法本无实，何况偏执误谬多；
莫因彼执起随执，本来无事享清净。

跋

心中想法，因执成立。各有所偏，何曾如实？妄想猜疑，造业生事。莫因他迷，随起是非。任彼渲染，本来无事。幻化思念，随时而逝。

Not to Follow Others' Grasping　Yutang Lin

Thoughts in mind are originally without substance,
Not to mention being one-sided and full of errors.
Do not grasp to things originated by others' grasping.
Enjoy the tranquility of originally no such matters.

Comments:

Thoughts in mind stayed only as results of grasping. Each one's views are prejudiced somehow; when had views been true to facts? Deluded guesses and suspicions created karmas and much fuss. Do not follow others' delusion to become entangled in a mess of accusations. Let people do their distorted gossiping; originally no such matters. Thoughts and ideas are illusive; they passed away with time.
