何需急　林鈺堂

認定對頭急爭勝，千方百計圖快意；
天災人禍孰倖免？老病死苦遲早臨！

跋

世間種種敵對，汲汲於營謀運作，務求早得勝算，不惜摧毀對方。若能放眼法界之運行，便知有情皆難免經歷種種困苦，又何需多此一舉，彼此競添煎熬？

What's the Hurry?　Yutang Lin

Recognize opponents and hurry to win supremacy,
Using thousands of means to plot a willful ending.
Calamities and tragedies could hardly be deferred;
Sooner or later, senility, diseases and death arrive.

Comment:

All sorts of antagonism are abundant in the world. People work diligently to plot for victory and supremacy, even at the expense of the extinction of the opponents. If one could widen the vista to the whole Dharmadhatu, then it would become obvious that sentient beings could hardly escape from all sorts of hardship and suffering. Why need to make the extra efforts in competing to add sorrows to one another?
