欠醒人　林鈺堂

淡漠只因管不了，介入依然一團糟；
此起彼落輪番演，世間鬧劇欠醒人。

跋

世事理難清，旁觀似淡漠。縱使投身入，徒然添牽纏。鬧劇輪班演，悲苦無暫停。覺醒循佛道，出離消自執。

Lacking Awakened Ones

Lacking Awakened Ones　Yutang Lin

Being indifferent only out of helplessness;
Engaging within still sees only confusion.
Here and there, in turn similar acts are on;
Worldly farces lack awakened participants.

Comments:

Worldly affairs are difficult to sort out. Staying aloof would seem indifferent. Even if one threw oneself into the pits, only more entanglements would vainly ensue. Farces are staged in turn, here and there; sorrows and suffering never cease for a moment. Following the Buddhist path to become awakened, one renounces the worldly ways to reduce attachment to self-centeredness.
