都对 林钰堂
世间以自我为中心
讲求多端 习以为常
出世以去私为要务
恒顺谦让 再接再励
都想达安乐
但见解大异
只就因缘来理会此等差异
便知都对
这是“法法如是”的一解
说起来头头是道
赞许、接纳的也不少
到了实行地步
却又花样繁多 各行其执
因为真正涉及的因缘太复杂了
从因缘观之 还是都对
这是“法住法位”的一解
行者没说“我是什么”
若说是，便为“什么”所限
若说不是，又如何确定
信者说“行者是什么”
不信者说“行者不是什么”
信者不信者各有因缘
使他们信或不信
客观加以了解 本该如此
所以也是都对
这是“万法无咎”的一解
顺因缘而观
了达一切都对
自然不偏一边 不执一是
而任运解脱无碍

All Correct Yutang

Worldly ways center around each one's self
Demanding and requiring much, and quite used to it
To go beyond the worldly ways the key point is to rid of one's self
Always accommodating and humbly yielding, further and further
Both wishing to attain peace and happiness
But views are drastically different
Simply comprehend such differences through causal conditions
Then one would know that all are correct
This is one explanation of the Dharma phrase: each thing is as such
In speech all aspects are expounded well in details
Their admiration and acceptance are also not a few
When coming to the point of putting theories into practices
There are yet many varieties, each carrying out his own grasping
Because causal conditions actually involved are far too complex
Viewing all these through causal conditions
Still, all are correct
This is one explanation of the Dharma phrase: each thing stays in its place
A practitioner has never said, I am such and such
Were it said, he would have been limited by "such and such"
Were it said otherwise, how could that be determined
One believer said, the practitioner is such and such
One disbeliever said, the practitioner is not such and such
Believer and disbeliever, each had their own causal conditions
That led to their believing or disbelieving
Comprehending them objectively, it is only naturally so
Hence, all are still correct
This is one explanation of the Dharma phrase: all things are blameless
Having observed all things through causal conditions
And thus comprehending that all are correct
Naturally one would neither bias toward one side, nor grasping to one right
But become liberated in the evolution of matters, free from hindrances
