平等不平等 林钰堂

众生平等
那是就毫无执取 本来清净
而又无限灵敏的本面而言
因缘各异 境遇悬殊
再加愚迷偏执几多
众生不平等

若能同时看到性与相
便知不可只说一边
而是平等中有不平等
  不平等中有平等
性同而相异 相异而性同

佛慈出乎无限一体之本净
因此平等慈视眷顾一切有情
佛慧毫无执取而又无限灵敏
因此对千差万种的众生
有迥然不同的示现与教导

若能了然智悲的圆融
便知应当体会两足尊的深广与巧妙
千手千眼不过一心一意
大慈大悲自然千变万化

弟子茶桶感应见上师金观音现双身相而问,何以非唐卡所示之单身相。其实金刚萨埵早有单身像与双身像之传续,应知同理。引伸其义而有此作。

Equal Not Equal Yutang Lin

All sentient beings are equal
As far as their original face, that is boundlessly sensitive
Free from grasping and originally pure, is concerned
Causal conditions vary from one to another, circumstances
Up and down like heaven and earth, in addition
Being ignorant to various degrees
Sentient beings are not all equal

If one can see essence and appearance simultaneously
Then one knows that one cannot mention only one side
The truth is, in equality there is inequality
And in inequality there is equality
Essence is the same but appearances differ, while appearances differ
Essence remains the same

Buddha's compassion is born of original purity of limitless oneness
Hence regards and cares for all sentient beings equally with mercy
Buddha's wisdom is free from grasping and infinitely responsive
Consequently, to sentient beings that are of so diversified propensities
Drastically different demonstrations and guidance are provided

If one comprehends fully the harmonious union of wisdom and compassion
One will know to appreciate the depth, breadth and wondrous ingenuities
Of the Reverend Both Wisdom and Compassion Fulfilled One
Thousand hands with thousand eyes are but of one mind and one intention
Boundless wisdom and boundless compassion naturally yield myriads responses
