開悟機緣 林鈺堂

開悟機緣整體事,此中離我及我所;
祝禱成佛因緣具,無關好惡與親疏。

任一有情之圓滿成就正等正覺,皆是攸關全法界悟迷、升沈之大事。此事與任何私人之好惡及交情淺深皆無關。因此,在誠心祝禱一切有情早証圓覺時,應撇開一切人際關係之考慮,只是單純地普為一切有情同等祈願。

Opportunity for Enlightenment Yutang Lin

Opportunity for enlightenment matters to the totality;
It has nothing to do with self or self-related concepts.
Wishing others' to obtain conditions for Buddhahood,
Without considerations of preference or relationships.

Comment:

Any sentient being's attaining full and right enlightenment is an important matter that affects the rising or sinking, awakening or lost of all beings in the whole Dharmadhatu. This matter has nothing to do with any personal preferences or social relationships. Therefore, when we pray sincerely for all sentient beings to attain full enlightenment soon we should throw away all social and personal considerations, and simply pray equally for all.
