Turbulent Flows

Yutang Lin

Opinions and arguments so variegated like turbulent flows;
Muddily mixed, mutually agitating, bar clarity or evenness.
Delusive thoughts all pacified, outside the arena of arguing,
Only then could the blue sky beyond dusty mess be noticed.

Comment:

Muddy views form turbulent flows; swirling around to carry all into abyss of whirlpool. Worldly life is full of suffering rooted in karmic hindrances; only when delusions have ceased could one realize the benefits of renunciation. Abide steadfastly in the sky beyond dusts; Dharma rains would moisture the field of mind. Wash off the mud of worldly worries, then clarity would naturally prevail by itself.
