見徹難_Difficult to See through

無常莫執不著相，口頭常提少深思，
反省言行及見解，通徹察微十分難。

跋

佛法之基本觀念「無常」、「莫執取」、「不著相」，一般學佛者皆知，也是常見於說詞的。但是能依之深思反省，而在言行及見解上轉變者，則不得多見。至於徹底通達佛理，並能省察微細心行者，則甚尟矣！

Difficult to See through　Yutang Lin

Impermanence, no attachment, nor formality,
Mentioned often but seldom ruminated over.
Reflecting on speeches, behaviors and views,
Difficult to see through and observe subtleties.

Comment:

Fundamental concepts of Buddhist teachings, such as impermanence, no attachment, and no formality are known to ordinary Buddhists and are often mentioned in speeches and writings. However, it is not often seen that a Buddhist is able to think over such teachings and reflect on its implication to one's daily life, and consequently yield changes in views, behaviors and speeches. It is even rare to meet one that has comprehended the Buddhist philosophy thoroughly and is able to pay attention to subtleties in one's mind.
