高下　林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

信從遵奉若神明，疑棄不顧賤塵沙；
極高轉瞬成最下，本來平等方安穩。

 

跋

世間高下隨潮流而遞轉。時尚一變，高下異位。看穿共業之不一定，安於本來平等之一介微渺，便不致隨波浮沉。

High and Low　Yutang Lin

In good faith respected as god;
Left behind in doubt as if dust.
Highest turns lowest in a blink;
Only original equality is even.

Comment:

High and low in the world vary with tides. As fashion changes, high and low trade seats. Seeing through the uncertainty of common karma, one remains satisfied with one's minuteness in the original equality of all beings, lest one would float up and down with the current waves.
