| 順延 林鈺堂 俗務先理法順延，功德難積業續演； 跋 一般世事纏身，難以修法為先。因此習於將法務恆排其次，一再順延。結果個業遷演不止，糾結屢增，而無從得到佛法的助益。若能就因果上綜觀大局，方得省悟：欲出業網困頓，必需先植福田，以謀懺消，以啟新機。學佛者宜知就因果而自檢行實，方能踏實長進。習於順延，佛果必然稽遲。
Postponing Yutang Lin Taking care of worldly affairs first, postponing on Dharma matters, Comment: Usually people are entangled by worldly affairs to the point that it is difficult to set Dharma practices as of first priority. Consequently, people are used to treat Dharma matters as of secondary urgency, and repeatedly postponing consideration or action on such matters. Under such circumstances personal karma continues to evolve and become ever more entangled, without a possibility to gain some beneficial help from Dharma-related activities. If one could review the main outlines of the situation from the point of view of causal laws, only then could one realize that, in order to escape the stagnant trap of karmic nets one needs to first cultivate the field of merits, so as to compensate and repent for past misdeeds and to invoke new possibilities of solutions. A Buddhist practitioner had better learn to reflect on his or her own activities in the light of causal consequences; only then can one advance on the path because of having taken solid steps. A habit of postponing on Dharma matters will definitely result in late harvest of the fruits along Dharma path.
