好惡　林鈺堂

自樹一格難遷就，解脫道上罣礙多；
學佛著眼唯菩提，私心好惡不涉懷。

跋

學佛者凡事皆應著眼於菩提上，只問如何究竟利益一切眾生，而不計及個人之好惡、得失。斤斤於個人之好惡，即已忘失菩提大業矣。

Special styles chosen, renders adjustment impossible;
On such a path to liberation much hindrance remains.
To gain awakening need to adopt just the Bodhi view;
Personal likes and dislikes should not come into play.

Comment:

A being aiming at enlightenment should consider all matters from the Bodhi point of view. Ask not how personal likes and dislikes, gains and losses would be affected; but ask only how to ultimately benefit all sentient beings. While haggling over personal likes and dislikes the Bodhi matters are already forgotten.
