平和 林钰堂
行者行径如何是
当看心地渐宽松
逢事体谅多宽容
出语平和淡论事
若老计执想太多
语带讥讽论人非
提及自身过谦抑
便是无我未参透
久修却成多计较
常令佛祖悲悯深

How should a Dharma practitioner's way be
Just observe if state of mind is becoming more relaxed
As matters arise, be empathetic and more tolerant
Saying things in an impartial and peaceful manner
If always mindful of details and think elaborately
Making derisive statements in counting others' faults
Mentioning oneself in excessively abasing terms
Then absence of self has not been comprehended
After long-term practices and yet became entangled by trifles
Thus causing deep sympathy in Buddhas and patriarchs
