無違 林鈺堂

合意不易順服難,貼心助成更幾希;
只循開悟定舉止,應對措施悉無違。

意見相合非易事;相左縱服頗為難。貼心助成極希有;真誠感人或可能。凡有意願無違逆;恆順眾生如何行?考量唯在助證悟,應對舉措天地寬。

No Conflict Yutang Lin

Not easy to reach agreement, difficult to comply;
Helping to satisfy all wishes is even rarer to find.
Actions chosen only to help reach enlightenment;
Responses and maneuvers are free from conflicts.

Comment:

It is not easy for views to match. Complying with divergent views is uncomfortable. Helping to satisfy others' intentions is indeed rare to find. It might be possible when one's sincerity moves others' hearts. Any intention not to be violated; how could going along with sentient beings' wishes be accomplished? When all considerations hinge only on helping to attain enlightenment, then possible responses and maneuvers could fill the space between heaven and earth.
