善用餘生　林鈺堂

餘生長短難預期，與死競走圖建樹；
善用時間心繫法，行唯供眾無他求。

跋

死期難以預知，因此欲從事之法務需要積極進行，猶如與死競走，希望能搶先一步達成。善用時間無過於專志不懈。

Making Good Use　Yutang Lin

Difficult to foresee how much longer this life will last;
Racing with death to achieve tiny contribution in time.
Making good uses of time by setting mind on Dharma;
Activities are only as offerings to all, no other seeking.

Comment:

Difficult to know in advance when death will come. Therefore, one needs to actively engage in Dharma activities of one's own choice. It is like racing with death so as to accomplish the contribution in time. No better way to make good uses of time than to concentrate on one's dedication and sustain it.
