蛻變 林鈺堂簡繁轉換 - 繁體
由蛹化蝶經蛻變，轉凡成聖需出纏；
修行如法必革心，故步自封即退墮。
跋
修行佛法即去我之過程。真志欲成佛渡眾，生活必定經歷變革，方能離俗出纏。號稱學佛而終究選擇固執己見、故步自封者，唯自欺耳！

Metamorphosis@Yutang Lin
Transformed from larva to butterfly through metamorphosis,
From worldly being to holy one, one must exit entanglement.
To live in tune with the Dharma mind needs to be refreshed.
Self-imposed limitation within familiar steps is one's downfall.
Comment:
Practicing the Dharma is a process of getting rid of one's Self. With genuine devotion to attain enlightenment so as to help awaken all beings, one's life must go through dramatic changes so as to realize renunciation of the worldly ways and escape from entanglements. Claiming to pursue the enlightenment path and yet eventually chose to reaffirm one's own views and stay within familiar steps amount to merely self-deceit.
