Thoroughly Letting Go

Yutang Lin

 

Concerned about small matters mind can hardly open up
Self-centered preoccupations see no date of emancipation
Thoroughly letting go seems extinguished all feelings
Bodhisattvas sit in silence to listen to worldly worries

 

Comment:

Dharma practices aim at ultimate liberation. If a Dharma practitioner is always concerned about small personal matters, then it amounts to no significant advancement on the enlightenment path. In order to attain Bodhisattva′s merits born of realization one must, first of all, leave blank one′s mind!
