行事依法 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

弘法濟世能延續,只因行事依佛法,
感得聖眾恆加被,切莫循情誤眾生。

投入佛法之修行及弘揚已近卅載。雖然寒微卻也結緣普及世界各地,屢有感應之回報。佛法事業能如斯延續並開展,全賴行事之際恪守佛法之道理,而不循人情世故。依法行事,自然感得佛恩加被,龍天護持。陷入人際考量而苟且一時,難免斷失與正法聖眾之聯系。行者應知此中利弊,而以千秋大業為重,慎擇並堅持循法之行止,則眾生方能有幸繼續領到佛恩之加持。依法行止,難免違逆人情,遭逢責難,行者當以菩提大心超越此等阻障,而安住法界一體之平和中。

Acting According to Dharma Yutang Lin

Propagating Dharma to benefit the world can be sustained
Only because one always acts in accordance with Dharma
Thus holy ones are moved to grant compassionate blessings
Don't comply with worldly ways to wrong all sentient beings

Comments:

Having devoted to Dharma practices and services for almost three decades now, even though humble and minute and yet still have built Dharma connections to many parts of the world, and have constantly received inspirational responses. That Dharma activities can be thus sustained and propagated, it all depends on abiding by Dharma principles at junctures of taking actions or inactions, instead of following worldly considerations. Acting in accordance with Dharma, one naturally inspires blessing from Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and obtains support and protection of Dharma protectors. When entrapped by worldly considerations and thus acted for temporary appeasement, one risks loosing the sacred connection with Dharma and holy beings. A Dharma practitioner should be keenly aware of the benefits and dangers therein, and put the eternal salvation mission at the foremost, and thus carefully choose and constantly abide by actions and inactions that are in accordance with Dharma. Only then can all sentient beings continue to benefit from the sacred Dharma connection thus sustained. Acting in accordance with Dharma would inevitably run into conflict with people's feelings and hence receive criticisms and ridicules. A practitioner should overcome such hindrances by abiding in the Great Mind of Bodhi, and remain peaceful in the oneness of Dharmadhatu as a whole.
