尊重意願　林鈺堂

他人意願恆尊重，行止後果各自擔；
踐履步步涉因緣，心所嚮往引軌跡。

跋

修習無我，則尊重他人意願。深明因果，瞭然於無能代受後果，因此不敢代人抉擇行止。命途步步皆牽涉眾多因緣，志向堅定方能引成途徑。

Respect Others' Wills　Yutang Lin

Others' wills should always be respected carefully;
Consequences of actions will be born individually.
Step after step involved and stirs up causal ripples;
What minds long for will lead and form the tracks.

Comment:

To practice non-self one should respect others' wills. When the significance of causal laws are fully comprehended, one sees clearly that no one can take over the consequences of others' actions, and hence one would not make decisions for others. Each step in the course of one's life involves many causal conditions; only firm resolutions could lead and shape paths.
