學無盡 林鈺堂

人間相較顯高下,知解難出感官圈;
孰知法界無盡藏,虛己從學識超凡。

人類知識,在人際相較之下,似乎高下懸殊。奈何受限於感官之領域,由法界觀之,難免偏頗、狹隘之失。佛法教示,當虛己開懷以體會與法界本為一體之無限深廣。若能信受實修,久後必有超出一般想像與見識之奇妙體驗。

As compared among humans there are high and low;
Cognitive understanding goes not beyond our senses.
Who would know Dharmadhatu a mine undepletable?
Open one's mind to learn its transcendental wonders.

Comment:

Human knowledge, when compared among humans, seems to range over a wide spectrum. Nevertheless, as limited by spheres of our senses, human knowledge could not help but seem narrow and partial in light of the whole Dharmadhatu. Dharma teaches us to open our minds so as to experience the original oneness with the whole Dharmadhatu that is boundless. For those who could accept such teachings and put them into practices, in the long run they would certainly attain wondrous experiences that are beyond common knowledge and imagination.
