煞醒　林鈺堂

煞士突襲驚世夢，防堵流竄難周全；
人事盡處宿業引，早悟無常務心安。

跋

煞士突襲，來勢洶洶。流竄難測，人心惶惶。或癒或逝，無能掌控。人事有窮，宿業定奪。早悟無常，莫滯俗習。一生根本，首在心安。

Awakening through SARS　Yutang Lin

Raiding from SARS startled worldly dreams;
Blocking its diffusing is hard to be complete.
Beyond human endeavors, karma takes over.
Beware of impermanence, work inner peace.

Comment:

Raiding from SARS is powerful. With its spreading unpredictable, people are fearful. Some recovered and yet some succumbed; it is a matter beyond human control. Where human endeavors reach their limits outcomes of matters are decided by karmas. Beware of impermanence early, and not to linger in worldly routines. The fundamental matter for our lives is to cultivate inner peace.
