無念而行 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

一般皆習於依念而行
深入修行者
  或可止念而行

其實世事之變遷
   命途之演進
豈是意念所能完全預料
更談不上隨意掌控

一心循法而行
難免遭逢種種世俗的誤解與對立
甚至突如其來的壓抑與打擊
種種的困擾又非理喻可解
這樣的考驗與磨鍊
反而容易促成無念的心境
   (因為思念無用,世間無可貪求)
可以一心地修法

修行不要挑境遇
而是要在任何際遇下
修一心為法、為眾生
從而遠離私心之顛倒夢想

Acting without Thoughts Yutang Lin

People usually are accustomed to acting by thoughts
Advanced practitioners
        May be able to act in the absence of thoughts

Indeed the transformation of matters in the world
        And the evolution of personal circumstances
Could not be fully predicted by wishes and thoughts
Not to mention to be controlled at will

Single-mindedly acting in accordance with the Dharma
Couldn't help to encounter all sorts of
Worldly misunderstanding and antagonism
And even sudden oppression and pounding
Furthermore, all such predicaments cannot be resolved by reasoning
Such trials and drilling could nevertheless
Readily promote a state of mind that is free from thoughts
        (Since thinking is futile, and nothing worldly is worth pursuing)
But congenial to single-mindedly practicing Dharma

To practice Dharma one does not choose circumstances
But, instead, under any circumstances
Practice single-mindedly for Dharma and for all sentient beings
Thus one will stay far away from self-centered deluded daydreaming
