自限 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

偏私的心念
出乎愚迷
看不清世上
豈有誰能使私心貫徹
變化萬千的世局
哪是一介微渺所能掌控

偏私的意圖
明眼看來
只是無益於自他的自限

修行佛法者要認清
只有大公無私
才能自他普濟
早點從迷私中覺醒
無有存心地從事修行吧

Self-limitation Yutang Lin

Thoughts of self-interests
Born of ignorant delusion
Failed to see clearly that in the world
How could anyone let selfish intentions prevail
Scenes of the world that evolve in myriad ways
How could those be manipulated by a tiny self

Intentions biased by self-interests
Seen by a clear eye
Are merely self-limitations that benefits no one

Dharma practitioners should recognize clearly
That only universal fairness without partiality
Can benefit oneself and others equally
Wake up from attachments to one's self sooner
And practice Dharma free from intentions
