自覺起修　林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

無執開闊融智悲，理論縱懂行依舊；
如數家珍不解用，自願除我方起修。

跋

縱然明瞭佛法之道理，若非自心覺悟，真誠欲去我執，無從修起。

Starting with Willingness to Yield　Yutang Lin

No grasping and opening up to be wise and compassionate,
Even though teachings understood life remains the same.
Counting family heirlooms without ideas of their uses,
Practice begins with the dawn of willingness to rid one's self.

Comment:

Even after the Buddhist teachings are learned and understood, unless one's mind is awakened to the point of willing to get rid of one's self, there is no real practice possible.
