蜕变之痛 林钰堂
成蛾必经出蛹之挣扎
小蛇必经数次之蜕皮方成巨蟒
凡夫要成圣
必经世俗心态与投入菩提的角力
平安成就古来无
莫以为菩提道一定是平顺的
一再经历考验的关卡
是成佛必经的道次第
佛子啊！
只有坚持菩提心、菩提行
您才能安渡
长成佛陀来渡化世间
莫懈怠
享受您的蜕变之痛
这是佛子新生必经的阵痛啊

Pain of Metamorphosis Yutang Lin
Becoming a moth must go through the struggle of getting out of a pupa
A small snake must go through many shedding to grow into a serpent
For an ordinary human being to become holy
The wrestling between worldly mentality and devotion to Bodhi must take place
Uneventful attainment of enlightenment is unheard of since ancient time
Do not assume that the Bodhi path will only be smooth
The passes that you constantly encounter to challenge and test you
Are the necessary stages and grounds on the path to full enlightenment
Sons and daughters of Bodhicitta!
Only by upholding Bodhi aspirations, intentions, and activities
Can you travel safely all the way
To grow into Buddhas that will convert and awaken the worldlings
Do not relax, nor wonder away
Enjoy your pain of metamorphosis
They are the pains of labor for the birth of a new Buddha offspring
