通論 林鈺堂

特定勸誡難蒙納,方便不足誠篤存;
轉申通論供普參,機緣成熟待時節。

佛、菩薩有無盡方便可以普渡眾生。吾人縱欲就特定對象解說某種事理,亦往往投訴無門或難蒙垂納。雖然如此,一片誠篤之情並不因之而稍減,唯有轉為一般性之通論,普供有緣之學佛眾,以作為進修之參考。如此一來,可免無謂之諍論及爭執,而隨機緣之成熟,各得領悟之益!

General Comments Yutang Lin

Specific advice could hardly be accepted willingly;
Lack of helpful means, yet abundant in ardentness.
Offering general comments instead for all to share;
Maturity of opportunities depends on time and tide.

Comment:

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have boundless helpful means to convert all sorts of sentient beings. For us humans, even though we would like to explain certain matters over to some specific audience, it is often the case that either there is no way to communicate or the expounding could hardly be accepted. Although such is the case a sincere mind would not thereby become frustrated. Instead general comments are offered for all to share so that those interested in Buddhist practices and have the opportunity to come across could make references. Thus meaningless arguing and fighting out of grasping could all be avoided. In time when opportune conditions meet those mature and fortunate enough would comprehend the teachings therein and be benefited.
