客家民謠與其對作家的開導
再一度受騙，偶然的機緣，
讀到一首客家民謠，好像是特別對我開導。
民謠唱道：
手把青秧插滿田。 低頭看到水中天。
六根清淨方為稻（道）。 後退原來是向前。
對我的開導：
只要秧滿田，何計虧與賺？
清靜生福慧，俯仰都有（由）天。
英文譯詩附後
並請批評指正
A Hakka Folk song and a Poet’s Enlightenment
Once again were cheated, by chance, I read a Hakka folk song.
(adopted from the Bag Monk)
As if it’s a special enlightenment, which I needed and found.
The Folk Song:
I hand-transplant green seedlings fully in the field.
When I bow to earth, I can see the sky in the water.
Only if roots are cleaned the rice can grow well.
While I move backward, actually I move forward.
The Enlightenment:
As long as seedlings are planted fully in all the fields,
Why should I care whether I’ll be a loser or winner?
Since cleanness can cultivate wisdom and wellness,
I can see the sky either looking downward or upward.
民謠的第三句原為，「六根清淨荒為稻」。
我不明「荒」字在此何意，願方家教我，再酌予改回。
感謝通宵先生，另一偶然的機緣，得見此譯詩，為我修改一處瑕疵。
此詩普網後又曾自行修改多次。 誠希早期讀者能回頭重讀。
老小子才疏學淺，無能一次定稿，謹此致歉。
