因緣_Causal Conditions

一切隨因緣聚散而現隱
用心培植、耕耘的
　　漸漸茁長　成熟　結果
無意理會、沾惹的
　　自然枯萎　斷絕　灰飛

順自己的好惡而舉止
　可能正好反而減順緣　增障逆

明察因緣而後抉擇進退
　方能添所望之順緣
　　或減所厭之違緣

佛子恆順因緣
　　亦當明察而作明智之抉擇
方能在修途上少障多助
早日成證

Causal Conditions　Yutang Lin

All present or disappear as causal conditions meet or disperse
Those carefully planted and nurtured
Gradually grow, mature and yield fruits
Those uninterested to bother with or remain connected
Naturally wither, discontinue and fade away

Behaving according to personal likes and dislikes
Could bring about decreasing of favorable conditions and
Increasing of adverse hindrances, contrary to one’s wishes

Learn about causal conditions, and then choose one’s moves
Only then can one hope to increase favorable conditions wished for
Or reduce unwelcome adverse situations

Buddhists always act according to causal conditions
They should also study conditions first and then make wise choices
Only then can they have more help and less hindrance on the path
To attain perfect enlightenment sooner

Wishing them well with a prayer from Bath Pond
