器量 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體


佛法指向無限
行者各有器量
修行的重點
 在於擴展器量
   趨向無限

器量是可見而不易自覺的
一般的指標是
  局於成見而自是
  思慮偏差全不覺
  善於責人缺自省
  說渡眾生計眼前

開展器量靠當人自己努力
旁人只能指點一二  隨緣點撥
至於能否撥動
  全看修行者是否了悟
       是否有心開展了

希求佛果
欲證明空 空樂
却少自省
  自心不空 那來空樂 明空
先由自限於思量中超脫
才談得上其餘呢

Capacity

Yutang Lin

Buddha Dharma points toward boundlessness
Each practitioner is of various individual capacities
The key point of Dharma practices lies in
        Expanding one's capacities
        Toward boundlessness

Capacities are recognizable and yet not easy to be self-aware of
Common indicators are
        Confined by fixed views and be self-righteous about it
        Thinking in biased and erroneous ways without awareness
        Good at scolding others but lack of self reflection
        Preaching salvation of all beings and yet concerned with only a few

Expansion of one's capacity depends on one's own efforts
Others can only indicate here and there
        Depending on the circumstances being appropriate or not
As to the results of such incidents of advice
        It all depends on if the practitioner has comprehended it
                And if the practitioner is sincere in such expansion

Aspiring toward Buddha fruits
To attain and realize the union of Brightness and Sunyata, of Sunyata and Bliss
And yet seldom reflects on oneself to see that
        When one's mind is not blank, how could there be
        The union of Sunyata and Bliss, of Brightness and Sunyata
First one needs to transcend self-limitation in entangling thoughts
Only then can one wish for the remaining attainments
