海中一滴　林鈺堂

海中一滴欲如何？怎奈波濤逆意流；
本來無隔莫妄立，全體移轉順因緣。

跋

個人在世極微渺，偏偏意慾一籮筐。世局遷變無定軌，預想隨時歸幻滅。放下心中妄分別，本來一體何需爭？融入整體隨緣渡，昇沈開合循因果。

A Drip in Ocean　Yutang Lin

What could a drip in ocean do?
Tossing with waves willy-nilly.
Grasp not artificial boundary,
Moving as a whole naturally.

Comment:

Each individual is tiny in the world, and yet personal views and desires are abundant. Situations in the world evolve without a set routine, and preconceived plans, like mirages, could vanish at any instant. Let go of artificial discriminations; originally all are in oneness, so why need to compete or fight? Merge into oneness and go along with conditions; ascending or descending, opening up or closing in, will follow the law of causes and consequences.
