開心　林鈺堂 　 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

要過開心的日子
先要將心打開
包容世界
善待其他有情

將心打開
在日常與人應對間
不要老是拒絕、排斥
　　 （因為忘不了自己的自以為是）
這樣也好　那樣也好
接受　感謝
　　 （自己用不到的也可以轉贈合適者）

人際融洽了
大家開心
比起自命清高
卻處處與他人格格不入
豈不好些
　
能反省　看清自己的孤僻
從而捨之
才有可能融入無限的一體

Open-minded　Yutang Lin

To live happily
First, one need to open one's mind
To embrace the world as it is
And be considerate to other sentient beings

To open one's mind
During daily interactions with others
Do not remain rejective and aloof
　　　　 (Because one could not forget one's self-righteousness)
This is fine, and that would also do
Be receptive and grateful
　　　　 (What one does not need can be turned over to those in need)

As interactions among people become cordial
Everyone is happy
Compared with upholding one's self-esteem
And yet runs into confrontation at every turn
Wouldn't it be better

Capable of reflecting on oneself
And thereby recognizes one's tendency to stay aloof
And then give it up
Only then will it be possible to meld into the boundless oneness of all
