学忽略　林钰堂

人生精明能多久
管到东来　管不到西
处处精明累倒自心
得过且过　能放放

太过精明　彼此负担重
似甚聪明　奈何智浅
修学忽略　彼此宽松
就算吃亏　安宁无价

小事马虎　看似愚昧
心地得闲　方能修行
一旦成证　普济无尽
此生未虚渡　唯智者得之

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 二○○八年三月十八日
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 养和斋　　　于加州

Learning to Overlook

Learning to Overlook　Yutang Lin

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
