防不勝防 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

防不勝防險惡心,靠無可靠世間情;
莫逐外緣守本真,法界一體護眾生。

世間險惡不勝防,疑慮叢生窮緊張。隨時遷變豈可靠?為人作嫁尟自覺。長遠義利唯菩提,早悟一體以護生。

Hardly Preventable Yutang Lin

Hardly preventable are treacherous minds;
Scarcely reliable are worldly associations.
Run not after connections but remain pure;
In light of oneness help all sentient beings.

Comment:

Tricky and treacherous dealings in the world are hardly preventable. Suspicion and worries are abundant, adding to nervousness. Things that are constantly changing, how could that be reliable? Working ultimately to others’ advantage could hardly be realized in advance. In the long run only Bodhi activities would result in lasting benefits. Soon realize oneness of all to help all sentient beings.
