任彼　林鈺堂

任彼來去無從計，風雲聚散隨時異；
炎涼情勢循私轉，清泉直注養菩提。

跋

世間往來，交情冷熱，皆隨私利而轉，更苦於計較之不停。只以佛法之闡揚及修習與人結緣，則免於去來、炎涼之考量。任彼千變萬化，吾道煦和如一。

Let Others Be　Yutang Lin

Let others come and go freely without haggle;
Winds and clouds gather and disperse in time.
Hot or cool situations vary with self-interests.
Clear spring gushes just to nourish Bodhicitta.

Comment:

Social visits and gatherings, warm or cold receptions, all vary with self-interests. Not to mention the suffering of endless comparisons and haggles involved therein. Entering contact with others only through explaining Dharma teachings and engaging in Dharma practices would free all involved from considerations of joining or leaving, warm or cold receptions. Let others be free in whatever they choose to change into, and our Dharma path would remain warm and harmonious as always.
