川流　　　林鈺堂　　　　　　 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

 

 

川流未曾息，何以執點滴？
心中何所繫，咸成煩惱根！

 

 

跋

 

經驗整體是不斷轉變且無從執取的，猶如川流；那有人會去撈取其中的點滴呢？任何心中的執著，都是虛妄而與實際的經驗整體不符合的，但也都可能形成種種煩惱的根源。

Running Stream

Yutang Lin

 

Running stream never ceased to flow;
Why bother to get drips out of the water?
Whatever is grasped in one′s mind,
Will become a source of sorrows later!

 

Comments:

Totality of experiences is ever evolving and beyond grasping, just like a running stream; why would anyone bother to get drips out of it? Any grasping in mind is delusive and no match to the only reality, which is the totality of experiences; and yet it is possible to transform into the source of all sorts of sorrows.
