癡心　林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

修行任運契無我，菩提生涯隨緣度；
自挑途程藏私情，癡心囈語求成佛。

跋

修行為證入無我。若求成佛，而自限途徑，即已存私而不自覺，豈得合於正道？

Wishful Thinking　Yutang Lin

Practice in accordance with opportunities to be selfless.
Life of Bodhi passes along the course of changing scenes.
To demand a preferred path reveals a hidden motivation;
Wishful thinking as spoken in dreams to reach enlightenment.

Comment:

The goal of Buddhist practice is to realize selflessness. Were one to pray for a preferred path toward enlightenment, there is already some hidden self-centered motivation without one's awareness. How could that match the right path?
