濬沙歸海　林鈺堂

源本大海淤沙隔，勤加濬通歸一體；
清淨靈明未嘗異，業障深重待清除。

跋

宿業累積，糾纏環扣，障蔽本淨之靈明，以致不能與法界整體融通。猶如淤沙隔離所形成之海邊小湖。修行消除業障，便如濬沙通海。只要淤積清除，自然融通大海，回復一體。

Reunion with Ocean　Yutang Lin

Originated from ocean but separated by sand silt,
Diligently dredged through to reunite in oneness.
Purity, clarity and sensibility could not be dulled;
Accumulated karmic hindrance is to be removed.

Comment:

Accumulation of karmic activities and chain of catching of entanglements block and blur one's clarity and sensibility of mind that is originally pure. Consequently, one lost the capacity to merge and communicate with the totality of the Dharmadhatu, just as a small lake by the sea that is separated from the sea through sand silt. Engaging in Dharma practices to remove karmic hindrances is similar to dredging such sand silt in order to rejoin the ocean. Once the sediments are cleared away it is natural to merge and reunite with the sea in oneness.
