閒於法　　　林鈺堂　　　　　　 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

 

 

「閒雲野鶴」
「偷得浮生半日閒」
看來　在繁雜的人間
閒是極難有的

即使有閒暇的人
心中也難無事閒靜

能深入荒野居住的
畢竟是極少數
廣闊寂靜無擾的時光
可望而難以企及

投入佛法的修行及服務
雖然處於人間
世間的牽連及干擾却漸漸淡去
代禱的世事雖然綿綿繁複
心中却沒有絲毫的世慮掛礙
也沒有對立的心態與意念
因而常在自然的寧靜中

想得閒
無需遠遁
心住於法
自然清閒

Leisure in Dharma

Yutang Lin

 

"as a leisurely cloud, a wild crane"
"half a day in leisure stolen from this floating life"
From these old Chinese sayings, it seems that
Among complicated world of human existence
Leisure is extremely hard to get

Even for those who have time in leisure
Their minds are hardly free from worries to sustain tranquil leisure

Capable of living alone in deep wilderness
After all are deeds of only scarcely few
Vast openness in solitude and tranquility is a time
Could be wished for but difficult to attain

Devoting oneself into Dharma practices and services
Even though one is still amid worldly environments
And yet worldly entanglements and intrusions will gradually fade away
Although matters for praying come frequent and complicated
Not a trace of worldly considerations lingers and hinders in mind
Nor is there dualistic attitudes and intentions
And hence one abides naturally in tranquility

Wishing for leisure
No need to escape far away
Mind abiding in Dharma
Leisure and clarity will naturally arise
