粗細 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體


作風粗細
  固然出乎天性
但隨見解所在
  也可調節
  
識大體 難免粗略
要穩妥 節骨眼上需細心

惜時省力 便需粗枝大葉
一味精挑細檢 難以開展

粗中帶細 還需本來細緻
細而能放 多虧眼界夠寬

佛示修行鬆緊猶如調弦
修行生活中
  何處當粗略 何處宜細膩
行者也要自己摸索 體會
以便省時專注於修行及佛事
而又不為表相所拘所局

Rough or Detail Yutang Lin

Rough or detail in one's handling of matters
     Certainly has to do with individual propensity
However, as views migrate with age and experiences
     Degrees of refinement may be adjusted

Viewing the whole picture
     Difficult not to overlook details
To ascertain reliability
     Need to be careful at crucial joints

To save time and efforts
     One proceeds with thick branches and large leaves
All the time choosing fine points and picking needles
     Hard to step out wide and far

Sketching without missing the fine lines
     It took original sensibility
Refined and yet capable of letting go details
     Thanks to an open panorama

Buddha taught us to practice loose and tight like tuning a zither
In daily life of a practitioner
     Where to overlook and where to be attentive
Are to be groped and figured out gradually
So as to save time and concentrate on Dharma practices and activities
Without being hindered and confined by appearances and formality
