我殼 林鈺堂簡繁轉換 - 繁體

求脫當出殼,奈何執習牢;
探頭唯虛晃,迅即縮老巢。

出脫匪易事,證達賴堅毅;
莫織見添蓋,宜遠俗專修。

The Shell of Self Yutang Lin

To escape one needs to exit from the shell.
Alas! The habitual grasping is so deep-rooted.
Extended one's head outside only as a gesture,
Immediately retracted it back into the old nest.

Comment:

To escape is not an easy matter,
Its realization relies on perseverance.
Don't knit views to add coverings,
Better to stay away and do only practices.
