繁華富麗誠耀眼，不知不覺流世俗；
簡約單純少知音，卻近釋迦成道時。
跋
佛門中不乏組織龐大、信眾雲集之門派，但因龍蛇混雜，在富麗堂皇之表相下，難免許多世俗的心行。
專務實修的行者，無暇人事的應酬，一切簡約，心志單純，因此毫不起眼，只有少數正見相合，感應所招致的知音往來。
如果學佛目的在成佛，又是那一種行徑接近悉達多當年在菩提樹下證悟的情況呢？

Complex or Simple Yutang Lin
Complex and grandiose are surely attractive to eyes
Unknowingly thoughts and activities turned worldly
Simple and innocent often lack appreciative audience
Yet closer to when Sakyamuni attained enlightenment
Comments:
Not a few are groups of Buddhists that have large organization and many followers. Nevertheless, due to the mixture of dragons and serpents, under the grandiose surface many worldly thoughts and activities prevailed.
Dharma practitioners who work solidly on practices have no spare time for social functions. All matters in their life are simple, and their intention is innocent. Consequently, they are not attractive to worldly eyes, and they are associated with only a few who shared the same Right Views and are gathered together by holy inspirations.
If the goal of a Buddhist is to attain enlightenment, which kind of practice path is closer to the situation of Siddhartha when he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree?
