緣起 林鈺堂

萬象顯隱緣相依,就緣轉化謀進展;
繽紛世事孰能主?隨緣遷就且湊和。

救脫可期修順緣,縱然棉薄盡全力;
憫眾倒懸悲泉湧,蒙佛慈祐恆接引。

欲明性空,當觀緣起。互為因緣,萬象顯隱。致力改善,當修順緣。錯綜複雜,無可主宰。隨緣遷就,一時湊和。

憫眾劇苦,慈悲泉湧。了悟緣起,救脫可期。盡其在我,縱然棉薄。蒙佛慈祐,渡眾無盡。

Conditional Origination Yutang Lin

All phenomena, apparent or invisible, are mutually dependent conditions.
One works on transforming given conditions so as to affect improvement.
Worldly matters are so variegated and complicated; who could dominate?
Accommodating in accordance with situations, let's adapt to get harmony.

Eventual salvation could be expected as suitable conditions are worked on.
Even though it's as scanty as a thin layer of cotton, one exerts full strength.
Compassionate feelings for sentient beings' suffering gush up like a spring.
Fortunately under Buddhas' blessings spiritual guidance remains incessant.

Comment:

To comprehend the absence of inherent existence one should observe conditional origination. Mutually dependent as causal conditions, all phenomena are apparent or invisible. Working on improvements one should gather favorable conditions. Variegated and complicated are situations and conditions; none could dominate the flow of events. Accommodating to given situations to achieve temporary harmony.

Feeling pitiful for sentient beings' severe sufferings, compassion gushes up like a fountain. Comprehending conditional origination of all phenomena, eventual salvation could be expected. Doing one's best even though it is scanty. Fortunately, under Buddhas' blessings, salvation service to all beings will never cease.
