無奈　林鈺堂

晴天霹靂雪上霜，世情悽慘無奈深；
籌劃有窮賴心淨，超乎人力仰佛恩。

跋

日日為眾祈禱，深悉世間之慘痛苦楚。事情之突變往往無從預料。種種營謀，只是增加困擾，徒勞無功。無奈之現況只能逆來順受。人力無法之處，在自己份上，只有心淨可依，此外，唯有向佛陀、神明祈求賜祐。

Could Not Be Helped　Yutang Lin

Sudden thunder in sunny day, frost on top of snow,
Piteous situations in the world could not be helped.
Artificial maneuvers are limited, rely on mind pure;
Beyond human power all depend on Buddha's help.

Comment:

Daily I pray for many sentient beings. Hence I have learned deeply the pain and suffering in the world. Sudden changes in life are often unpredictable. All kinds of maneuvers and planning are just creating inconveniences without real effects. Situations as they are, are mostly could not be helped, and people could only swallow them even though they are painful. Where human endeavors could not reach, on our own part, we can rely only on our purity of mind, and in addition, we can only pray to Buddhas and gods for compassionate help.
