融通 林鈺堂

生活徹底依法行,心思無復世俗觀;
融通一片非易致,見地先當不二分。

理想的學佛過程是逐漸將原先以自我為中心的想法、行為及生活轉變成通達緣起、心地開闊、慈悲普濟的生命。由於個業及共業的種種牽繫,這是很不容易圓成的。全心全力投入此道才有可能在此生中實現。一般學佛者至少要先在見地上能看透,不再分別世法與佛法的界限,而以佛法的觀點融會一切,才有可能修到極致。

Harmonious Unification Yutang Lin

Daily life in complete accordance with Dharma teachings;
Thoughts and views no longer within worldly stereotypes.
Oneness of harmonious unification is not readily achieved;
Practitioners' views should, in the first place, be non-dual.

Comment:

The ideal process of approaching Enlightenment is to gradually transform habitual views, activities and way of life that are self-centered into a life of comprehending causal conditions and relations, openness, and compassionate universal salvation. Due to all sorts of entanglements and hindrances that are rooted in individual or public karmas, this transformation is very difficult to achieve perfectly and fully. Wholeheartedly and completely exerting one's efforts into this quest might realize this goal in this life. For Buddhists in general, at least they need to be able to comprehend the Buddhist principles thoroughly in the first place, so that they no longer draw an artificial boundary between worldly sphere and Dharma realm, but to view all things universally from the Dharma point of view, only then could they reach the ultimate goal through devoted practices.
