去留_Moving or Staying

在一個地方
心中計較不停
　　抱怨不休
這樣的心態去哪裡都一樣
真要修行
不如留下　順緣修心

在一個地方
心中坦蕩
遇事自然解脫
這樣的心態去哪裡都自在
真要修行
大可隨緣廣結佛緣
就沒有去留的問題了

Moving or Staying　Yutang Lin

While staying at one place
Kept comparing incessantly
And complaining unceasingly in mind
Such a mental state and attitude would remain the same anywhere
If one sincerely would like to practice Dharma
Rather stay on to practice pacifying the mind

While staying at one place
Mind is open and clear
As matters arise one remains at ease
Such a mental state and attitude would find ease at any place
If one sincerely would like to practice Dharma
One could readily establish Dharma connections as conditions arise
And the question of moving or staying will be no more
