莫隨他執 _Not to Follow Others' Grasping

心中想法本無實，何況偏執誤謬多；
莫因彼執起隨執，本來無事享清淨。

跋

心中想法，因執成立。各有所偏，何曾如實？妄想猜疑，造業生事。莫因他迷，隨起是非。任彼渲染，本來無事。幻化思念，隨時而逝。

Not to Follow Others' Grasping　Yutang Lin

Thoughts in mind are originally without substance,
Not to mention being one-sided and full of errors.
Do not grasp to things originated by others' grasping.
Enjoy the tranquility of originally no such matters.

Comments:

Thoughts in mind stayed only as results of grasping. Each one's views are prejudiced somehow; when had views been true to facts? Deluded guesses and suspicions created karmas and much fuss. Do not follow others' delusion to become entangled in a mess of accusations. Let people do their distorted gossiping; originally no such matters. Thoughts and ideas are illusive; they passed away with time.
