反觀       林鈺堂簡繁轉換 - 繁體

佛法目的在消弭「我執」
修法大多屬於對治
　　因此從「我」修起
　　也就難以離開「我執」

從一向習慣的「我」
要開展到無限的法界
談何容易

或許可以反過來觀想
了達本來無限之法身
絲毫不受小小「自我」之牽制
如如不動
由法身觀此微不足道之「我」
只是如泡沫之妄執
無需對治　無足掛齒
豈真有蹤跡可尋

Reverse Visualization

Yutang Lin

The goal of Dharma is to reduce and eliminate grasping to "self"
Most Dharma practices are counter-ways to this grasping
        And hence they begin with aiming at the "self"
        Thereby it becomes difficult to stay away from "self"

From the "self" that one is so used to grasping onto
To open up and expand to the boundless Dharmadhatu
Surely it is easier said than done

Perhaps one may reverse the visualization as follows
Comprehending that the Dharmakaya that is originally boundless
Cannot be affected in the least by the tiny bitty "self"
And remains as it is forever and ever
From the Dharmakaya's point of view
This tiny and insignificant "self" is merely
A deluded grasping that is like a bubble
No need to counteract
Not worthy of mentioning
How could it indeed have traces to follow
