五智圆通 林钰堂
如大圆镜妙观察，法界体性本平等，
任运解脱成所作，真智无执恒畅通。
跋
佛智不可思议，略从五面阐释而称五智：大圆镜智，明鉴万象；妙观察智，彻见因缘；法界体性智，一体融通；平等性智，万法无我；成所作智，任运解脱。五智本自圆通：如大圆镜，故妙观察；万法空性平等，故为法界体性。恒住空性，故能任运解脱一切对立，圆成救渡。究其根本，真智明空、畅通全在于无有相执。

Wisdom, Five in One Yutang Lin
Wondrous Observation in boundless mirror reveals all;
Everything is equal in sharing the lack of absolute self;
Accomplishing the liberation of beings upon occasions,
Real wisdom flows continuously through no adherence.
Comment:
The wisdom of enlightenment is inconceivable. In an attempt to describe it in five aspects it is labeled as the five wisdoms. The Great Round Mirror Wisdom refers to its truthful representation of all phenomena. The Wondrous Observation Wisdom refers to its thorough understanding of all the causal conditions and connections. The Dharmadhatu Essence Wisdom refers to its being in limitless oneness. The Equal Essence Wisdom refers to its insight of seeing all things equally as selfless. The Accomplishing Activities Wisdom refers to its liberating blessings to beings in all occasions. These wisdoms are five in name only; they are in oneness. As a boundless mirror it observes all details. All things are equally selfless; thus selflessness is the universal essence. Abiding in selflessness liberates all antagonism to accomplish salvation from suffering. Fundamentally, real wisdom is clear, selfless and free of hindrance because there is no adherence to concepts and senses.
