業障　林鈺堂

業障解說雖虛玄，能獲深信必有據；
危急險境疑難症，屢憑祈禱速解消。

跋

人生一切困苦，佛法皆以業障解說。業障乃抽象觀念，何以能獲深信？久修者皆知，許多危急而無救之險惡處境，或是醫藥罔效之疑難重症，卻有單憑祈禱與佛事功德迴向而得消解的。若非冥冥之中有業障之作用以及佛事對治之功效，如何能有此等感應事蹟？

Karmic Hindrance　Yutang Lin

Karmic hindrance seems explanation mysterious;
Winning deep faith must due to some experience.
Imminent danger and incurable equivocal disease,
Now and then reduced or relieved through prayer.

Comment:

Difficulties and sufferings in life are explained in Buddhism as symptoms of karmic hindrances. Karmic hindrance is an abstract concept; how could it win deep faith? People who have practiced for years all know that, many dangerous but incorrigible situations or chronic incurable equivocal diseases have been relieved through prayers and dedication of merits of Dharma activities. Unless in the realm beyond human perception there are operations of karmic hindrances and antidotal effects of Dharma activities, how could there be such inspirational incidents?
