行止抉擇 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

對錯優劣天淵別,未經深入豈可抉?
旁觀掣肘發號令,陷陣無助敗含冤。

行止之抉擇,對錯、優劣往往懸殊,而影響所及,情節重大。若未經當局者之歷練,卻操持號令,往往使得實際從事者礙手礙腳,寸步難行,進退皆困。願參預法務者皆注意此種問題,而免於此誤。

Choice of Action and Inaction Yutang Lin

Right or wrong, superior or inferior, how distant the variance!
How could it be chosen without in depth engagement?
Bystanders giving commands amounts to pulling the elbows;
Helpless in the firing line, buried under injustice done and lost.

Comment:

To a choice of action and inaction, the resulting right or wrong, superior or inferior approaches are often of marked distinctions. The consequences and influences could also be drastic. If the decisions were made by people who does not have firsthand experiences, then those who are actually engaging in the matter could be put in a no-win situation. May people who participate in Dharma activities pay special attention to this kind of problems and avoid such unfortunate mistakes.
