Bodhi Wish in Calligraphy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A disciple asked me to write in calligraphy a statement found in one of my works:菩提心是為究竟利益一切眾生。
一弟子要求我寫一句在我作品中所發現的句子：菩提心是為究竟利益一切眾生。

In the context there, it is quite clear that the meaning is that the aim of Bodhi aspiration is such.
在那文中，此句相當清楚的顯示出菩提願心的目地就是如此。

But when this statement stands on its own, it might convey a sense that Bodhicitta has a purpose. In the ultimate sense, that would not be correct because Bodhicitta is harmonious union of wisdom and compassion and as such all Bodhi activities are natural expressions of it without any goal or purposes. So I modified it and then write the resulting statement in the attached calligraphy.
但是當此句子獨立出來時，它可能表達出菩提心是有一個意圖的意涵。就最終的意義而言，那就不是對的，因為菩提心是智慧和慈悲的圓融結合，因而如此的所有菩提行為都是自然的呈現，並沒有任何的目標或意圖。所以我修改了它然後將此句子寫在附呈的翰墨上。

May all beings attain Enlightenment soon!
願一切眾生早日成佛！
