圆融无碍　林钰堂

不计小节非疏忽，旷达岂与粗心同？
时地因缘恰切配，圆融施展整体通。

跋

或谓圆融是不为小事所碍。若然，则粗心大意亦近似之。不因枝节问题而困扰，可谓旷达，但离圆融尚远。理事融通，举止施展皆能配合时、地、因缘而恰到好处，方称圆融。圆融是整体的境界，岂有大小之分？

All-round beyond Blockage　Yutang Lin

Disregarding branching issues but not out of carelessness;
Could broad-mindedness be the same as being negligent?
Perfectly corresponding to time, place, and conditions,
Act in the spirit of the harmony of oneness of all involved.

Comment:

Some explained "all-round" as not being hindered by minor points. Were that the case, carelessness would resemble it. Not being bothered by branching issues of minor consequences could be called "broad-minded." However, it is still far from being all-round. Having mastered the harmony of theory and practice, acting exactly in accordance with the time, place and conditions involved so that it is a perfect balance of all factors, this could then be called "all-round." "All-round" describes the state of oneness of all; how could there be distinctions of trunk and branches?
