主題　林鈺堂

此生主題可尋得？莫逐花邊虛渡日；
千載良機供成長，一門深入養淨明。

跋

不虛渡此生，每個人應找出適合自己性向及能力的事業來投入，藉之培養純淨的本性，並貢獻、服務社會。莫沉迷於點綴花邊的事情上。

Main Subject　Yutang Lin

Have you found the main subject of this life?
Don't waste time on chasing after trimmings.
Use this rare opportunity for spiritual growth;
Delving through one practice to regain purity.

Comment:

So as not to live this life in vain one should find out a course that suits one's inclinations and abilities, and then devote oneself to it. Thereby one may cultivate one's original purity of mind and make some contribution to society. Don't become absorbed by matters that are just trimmings of life.
