參差 林鈺堂

鬧劇輪迴添一場,到頭縱悟已嫌遲;
同體大悲等祝禱,惜乎法緣多參差!


不能省悟所作所為只是在無盡輪迴中添入一場鬧劇者,縱然臨終猛醒,也難以補救、挽回了。修行者本著同體大悲,平等為一切眾生之證覺而迴向祝禱。只可惜眾生之法緣參差懸殊,以致於不能一起救脫。

Variation Yutang Lin

Another farce staged in the stream of transmigration;
Even if awakened near the end that could be too late.
In limitless-oneness compassion pray for all equally;
Dharma connection for beings varies to such extent!

Comment:

For those who could not reflect and realize that their doings are merely adding another staging of a farce in the endless cycle of transmigration through life and death, even if they could suddenly awake to the real situation near the end of their lives, it could be too late for them to make amends or remedies. A Buddhist practitioner based on the compassion born of limitless-oneness would constantly pray for and dedicate merits toward the enlightenment of all sentient beings equally. What a pity that the connection with the Dharma for each sentient being varies to such extreme extents that it is impossible for all to be equally helped at once.
