表意 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體
物多終成累，忘失有若無；
過渡暫保管，流通暢胸懷。
必需品終歸少數，屯積多徒添滯礙；
或遺忘或難抉取，名下有罕用若無。
身及物皆非長遠，暫保管不久易主；
適時機物盡其用，常佈施暢達胸懷。

Expression of Intentions@Yutang Lin
Things many would eventually become burdensome.
When forgotten possessing was as if not-possessing.
In transition one temporarily keeps and handles them.
Put them in circulation to keep mind open and fluent.
Comment:
Things necessary are indeed only a few,
Much accumulation vainly adds hurdles.
Either forgotten or difficult to reach at,
Entitled but rarely used as if not having.
Body and things are all non-everlasting,
Fleetingly in charge, soon change hands.
Make the most of things when suitable,
Freely offer things to keep mind open.
