忏悔的重点 林钰堂
认清自己的过失
在佛前 发露自己的过犯
誓不再犯 求原谅
愿蒙甘露洗净
重新上道精进
至于自己有理无理
别人了解不了解
误会不误会 又该当如何
都与自忏无关
提起来就像自饰责他
更重要的是
后悔为了私人小事而纠缠
太无聊了
众生的苦 众生的解脱
怎么忘记了
二○○七年十月廿二日

Key Points of Repentance Yutang Lin
Recognize clearly one's own mistakes
In front of Buddha, reveal one's transgressions
Vow never to commit the same errors, and ask for pardon
May Buddha's nectar wash one clean and clear
So one can again advance diligently on the path
As to whether one has reasons or not
And others understood one or not
Misunderstood one or not, and should be like this or that
These are all irrelevant to one's repentance
Mentioning such amounts to self-pretense and blaming others
The most important point is that
One regrets entanglement for minor personal matters
What nonsense and waste of life
Sufferings of sentient beings, and their emancipation
How come one had all forgotten
