生命恆河浩蕩流，
波濤曲折也自由，
清濁起滅循環繞，
從無一滴可滯留。
跋
有情之生滅，生命之動靜，一如聖河之奔流。從事法務之服務，猶如順流之舟子，默默而恆久的引渡，成為生命大河之一部分，不再有世間的思慮。

Today is Christmas in western hemisphere and the Birthday of Amitabha Buddha in eastern hemisphere according to Chinese Buddhist tradition.
今天在西半球是聖誕節而在東半球依照中國佛教傳統而言是阿彌陀佛的聖誕。
Disciple Kai Xin came out from a seven-day retreat today. And during the retreat Kai Xin was inspired to compose the
attached praise.
弟子開心剛完成一個七天的閉關，且在閉關期間她因感應而造了附呈的讚頌。
I had revised it. The revised file attached.
我已審訂。審訂版附呈。
In addition, Kai Xin had asked a musician to compose a song using my poem, The River of Lives, as its lyric. And the musician had also asked a singer to sing the song. It is also ready today for all to enjoy. I will release the music score and the mp3 file soon. Right now just waiting for fixing a typo.
除此之外，開心已請一位音樂家將我的詩作〝生命之河〞譜曲。而此音樂家又請了一位聲樂家將之唱出來。此曲亦是今天完成以供大家享聽。只要等一個錯字改好，我會很快的將樂譜及mp3檔案傳給大家。
It is so wonderful to be able to offer to all these two works on such an auspicious day!
能夠在這麼吉祥的日子將這兩個作品供養給大家真是太好了！
May all beings attain Enlightenment soon!
願一切眾生早日成佛！

The River of Lives Yutang Lin
The great river of lives flows constantly on a grand scale,
With waves rising and twisting at liberty and at will.
Clear or muddy, high or low, recycling without ceasing,
Never is there a drop that could linger despite the stream.
Comment:
Birth and death of sentient beings, motion and rest of lives are like the surging of a great river. Engaging in Dharma services is like a ferryman streaming down the river to render help constantly and unobtrusively. Thus the practitioner becomes part of the great river of lives, and is no longer bound by worldly considerations.
