選修　林鈺堂

愛人當從損邊施，奈何勸諫耳邊風；
置啄枉費反招怨，法界課程任選修。

跋

陳師常示：「愛人當從損邊施」。奈何世間少有能聽勸者。屢諫不從，若再進言，反招嫌怨。法界大學，課程繁雜；任人選修，可免庸議。

Elective Courses　Yutang Lin

Love should be given through opposing;
Alas! Words taken as wind passing ears.
Vainly spoken just to invite resentments.
Courses in Dharmadhatu are all elective.

Comment:

Guru Chen often said, "Love for others should be given through the opposing side." Nevertheless, there are few in the world that can listen to advice. Repeated suggestions are not followed; under such circumstances further comments would only invite resentments. In the University of Dharmadhatu courses vary to great extent; just let each and every one elect their own courses, then there would be no vain arguments.
