执无碍 林钰堂

不因他执起随执,莫让己执成彼障;
见解各异行自是,无需聚焦起冲突。

有执难免,去执甚难。若计他执,便成己执。己执必申,多少障他。各有见地,自行其趋。但移焦聚,便免冲突。执虽俱在,并存无碍。

Grasping without Hindrance Yutang Lin

Not to react to others' grasping to form a grasping,
Do not let one's grasping become others' hindrance.
Views differ, let each carry on in individual ways.
No need to focus at some point to ignite a conflict.

Comments:

Grasping is hardly avoidable; getting rid of grasping is rather hard. While counting others' grasping, that is already one's own grasping. Insisting on pushing forward one's grasping, more or less that will hinder others'. Each has individual views, and will carry on in the direction of particular inclinations. Just move aside the focus, and then conflict will be avoided. Even though each still maintains particular grasping, coexistence is without hindrance.
