自然圓滿 林鈺堂

勉強一時豈耐久?圓滿千萬急不得;
因緣聚散漸移轉,自然成就方適宜。

欲求所逼,往往勉強從事。一時牽強,不久即困難叢生。故知圓滿急不得。長遠努力,漸漸自然成形,方是圓滿之道。修行、弘法,亦不例外。

Naturally Perfect Yutang Lin

Could results be forced to last for long?
Perfection should not arrive in a hurry.
All things gradually change and evolve;
Only naturally accomplished would do.

Comment:

Driven by needs and desires things are often forced through. What is compelled temporarily would soon face the arising of difficulties. It is therefore understood that perfection could not be rushed. Long-term efforts gradually and naturally evolve into shapes; that is the way of perfect accomplishment. Dharma practice and propagation are no exception to this.
