繩與鉤 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

因緣牽連線繩纏,執著牢套鉤鎖深;
抽絲剝繭已不易,解結鬆掛更為難。

因緣交織成業網,執著自取添掛鉤。抽線解網非易事,宜先鬆執減牽纏。

Ropes and Hooks Yutang Lin

Causes and conditions connect like ropes and threads enwrap;
Grasping and attachment tighten like hooks and locks bite in.
Pulling silks to unwrap a cocoon is already not a matter easy;
Untying knots and loosening clasps are surely more difficult.

Comment:

Causes and conditions knit up nets of karmas. Self-inflicted grasping and attachment add hooks to the nets. It is not an easy matter to pull the threads to dismantle karmic nets. One had better first loosen the grasping and attachment in order to reduce entanglements.
