開闊與否　林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

遍設道場收徒弟，號稱博大卻排擠；
斷絕俗務專修行，形似閉鎖心無敵。

跋

修習佛法的原則，一體兩面是無執與開闊。如何纔是真正契合此等原則，需要仔細分辨。不需計取表相；只有務實，纔能真正證悟及得佛法之受用。

Open or Not　Yutang Lin

Centers set up everywhere to receive disciples and followers,
Labeled as large and encompassing, and yet repels others.
Ceased all worldly engagements to practice solely the Dharma,
A recluse seems closed but with a mind free of enemies.

Comments:

The principles guiding Buddhist practices are, as two sides of a coin complementing each other, no attachment and opening up. How would practices be truly in accordance with such principles is a matter requiring careful discrimination. No need to patch up appearances or hold on to formality. Only cultivation based upon sincerity and truthfulness would lead to realization and enjoyment of the fruits of the Dharma.
