唯一大事_The Only Important Matter

隨時可死餘何事？執著無謂當掃盡；
助益有情能幾多？開示悟入超自限。

跋

隨時可能死，執取無意謂。坦蕩超生死，看透我執妄。修行在滅私，泯人際對待。徹底利益眾，助彼超自限。

上師：

弟子想請您書寫這兩首詩。弟子喜歡您用與詩文相應的名字寫提請，這樣既配合詩文的法理，又符合無限一體。

感恩上師！

The Only Important Matter　Yutang Lin

Any instant one could die; what is the thing that matters?
Grasping is meaningless; they should be all swept away.
How much could one do to help benefit sentient beings?
Reveal the path to help them attain transcendence of self.

Comment:

One could die at any instant; grasping is meaningless in this light. To be open-minded beyond life-and-death matters one needs to see through the vanity of grasping to the notion of a self. The key to Buddhist practices is to diminish grasping to self; a practitioner should be free from dualistic mentality among human relationships. The only way to thoroughly benefit sentient beings is to help them transcend their self-imposed limitations.
