個體_Individual Body

放眼法界渺若無，微觀粒動豈有邊？
莫限念執計人我，當融整體享太平。

跋

一介人身，在萬法流轉之中，極為微渺，似有若無。若微觀原子以下之層次，則唯見粒子之移動軌跡，而無有邊際。欲達解脫，當善用如是微鉅觀察，以助跳出平常因執著感官所形成之身見，而恆處於計較人我的心態。若達眾生個個皆同法界，即無煩惱。

Individual Body　Yutang Lin

In view of the whole Dharmadhatu, a body is as tiny as naught.
Where could the boundaries of traces of subatomic particles be?
Don't be limited by grasping to concepts into circles of quarrel;
Simply melt into the totality to enjoy peace of limitless oneness.

Comments:

One human body, within the flux of all things, is very tiny, so tiny that it seems to be there and not there. When things are viewed at the subatomic level only traces of particles' movement can be observed without a definite boundary. To achieve liberation one should make good use of macrocosmic and microcosmic observations as indicated above to help escape the ordinary concept of a body that is formed by grasping to sense objects. Due to such a concept of a body one would constantly abide in a mental state of comparing and quarreling with others. If one could comprehend that each and every sentient being is identical to the whole Dharmadhatu, then there would be no sorrows.
