心心相印 林钰堂

达摩面壁九年
若说有心 怎待得住
若说无心 怎未示寂
等个知音 原来有心
随缘接引 原来无心

慧可立雪断臂示决心
请师为安心

将心来
觅心了不可得
为汝安心竟

原来 只要您肯放心
我便安心
佛门的心心相印
如是单纯

您还放不放心啊

Subject: Two New Works in Calligraphy_两篇新翰墨:心心相印心上人

They are attached.
将之附呈。

The disciple who asked for the calligraphy on Mind and Mind Meet suggested to use the name 凡心, worldly mind. That would not be suitable for Mind and Mind Meet. So I modified it to 圣凡同心, Saints and Worldlings of One Mind.
请求〈心心相印〉翰墨的弟子提议要以凡心为署名。不过那和〈心心相印〉不搭配。所以我改成以圣凡同心为署名。

May all beings attain Enlightenment soon!
愿一切众生早日成佛!

Mind and Mind Meet Yutang Lin

Bodhidharma sat facing a wall for nine years
If it were intentional, how could he abided for so long
If it were unintentional, how come he did not enter Nirvana
Waiting for someone who could comprehend, so it was intentional
Receiving anyone who was ready for the help, so it was unintentional

Hui Ke stood in snow and cut off one arm to demonstrate his resolve
And then asked Master to pacify his mind

Bring me your mind
I could not find even a trace of it
I have pacified your mind completely

So, as long as you are willing to let your mind go
I will have a mind pacified
In Dharma, mind and mind meet
As simple and pure as such

Do you still want to let your mind go or not
