成人有餘 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

成人有餘堅持多,成佛不足欠靈活;
著相自限謀心安,難悟無限法喜深。

 

執取不放,塑造人格。格局狹隘,動彈不得。漸捨漸?,可望活轉。著相設限,以障為依。無限法喜,緣慳一嚐。慈憫誘引,望早出繭。

Over-qualified to Be a Person@Yutang Lin

Full of insistences, over-qualified to be a person;
Lack of freedom, insufficient to become Buddha.
Peace of mind resting on self-set limits of formality
Could not comprehend boundless joy of Dharma.

Comment:

Grasping without renunciation carved personality. Narrow scope and sphere set, one could hardly turn around. Gradually widen through gradual renunciation, resurrection hopeful. Setting limits under grasping to form, one mistook hindrances as reliance. Boundless joy of Dharma, such a one lacked the opportunity to taste even once. In compassionate mercy one tries to guide and lead, with hope of their sooner emergence from cocoons.
