眼前一點事 不如意
憤然而去 談不上
爭執半天 滿意為止
吵翻天 忘盡其餘
心眼聚焦如斯
自限不悟 狹隘難開
真心要得解脫 達證悟
記得常開心眼
觀眾生種種的不如意苦
方知眼前的是芝麻大
觀佛菩薩教化的種種方便
方知尚待修習的深廣如海
只要還有一點主意
就是心眼被遮了
想要開心地學佛
先開心眼
心眼開了
開心的眼神多麼明亮

Opening Mind's Eye
Opening Mind's Eye Yutang Lin
For bits of matters, right in front of one's eyes, that are not to one's liking
Abruptly left, leaving no room for communication
Arguing half a day, stop only when satisfied
Fighting till the sky is turned over, forgotten all the rest
When mind's eye is focused thus
Self-confinement unaware, too narrow to open
Sincerely aspiring for liberation and realization of enlightenment
Remember to open one's mind's eye constantly
To observe all kinds of undesirable situations that beings are enduring
And thus realizing matters that one is facing are big as sesame
To observe all sorts of skillful means that Buddhas utilize in conversion
And thus realizing things to learn and practice are vast as ocean
As long as there is still some personal opinion
One's mind's eye is covered
To advance on the Dharma path with an open mind
First open one's mind's eye
When one's mind's eye is open
The light in the eyes of an open mind is so bright
