散心偈
Verses On The Scattered Mind
既要滑机,
看看东西,
又要念佛,
按按算机。
Both wanting to scroll on a phone,
to look-see at worldly things,
and wanting to recite Āmítuófó’s name,
while pressing on a counter.
一心三用,
即是分心,
散心加散,
如何至心?
With one mind used in three ways,
this precisely is the distracted mind,
with the scattered mind adding more scatteredness,
how does this express the sincere mind?
