一時與長久

歲月是流轉的
文化是千秋的
花開是時節的
青山是常在的
勸導是有限的
守戒是不變的
感受是短暫的
相處是長遠的
傷痛是當下的
歡喜是持久的
委屈是暫時的
真相是恆常的
功名是一時的
生命是一世的
生死是瞬間的
願力是無窮的
妄念是剎那的
佛性是不滅的
因緣是變化的
悟道是永恆的

Momentary vs Everlasting

Age is fleeting, but culture is timeless.
Flowers are seasonal, but mountains are abiding.
Counseling is limited, but discipline is sustainable.
Feelings are momentary, but relationships are for life.
Pain is transient, but joy is perpetual.
Misunderstanding is temporary, but Truth is eternal.
Fame and gain are short-lived, but life is everlasting.
Birth and death are ephemeral, but vows are abiding.
Delusion is swift, but Buddha-nature is imperishable.
Causes and conditions are changing, but enlightenment is forever.
