共苦 林鈺堂

輸贏對錯賴繫念,相逼共苦乃實情;
看穿爭執反惹禍,為眾祈慧安和平。


各有偏見,不能看開;爭執不讓,交相逼害。若涉評點,唯添混亂。靜居祈慧,願眾安和。


                     二○○三年三月廿九日 
                     養和齋    於加州


Shared Suffering Yutang Lin

Right or wrong, win or lose, all rest on grasping to concepts;
Shared suffering due to mutual pursuit constitutes the reality.
Seeing through disputes as bringing damages to the contrary,
Pray for all to have wisdom to settle for peace and amiability.

Comment:

Each holds on to one-sided views and fails to see the panorama. Insisting on preferences without yielding, mutually force and harm one another. Engaging in arguments and criticisms will only add to confusion. Remain silent but praying for all to have the wisdom to settle for peaceful and amiable ways.
