本自圆通 林钰堂

阴阳两极交相益,二元调和方融洽;
智悲一体分不开,本自圆通无界限。

智悲圆融,常见以阴阳融通喻之。阴阳分属两极,交会以互补,可得融洽,可望结成一体。真智大悲却是发乎无限一体之证悟,本来无有界限、无从分辨。只在观念上可以分说智悲,证悟上则无以名之。智悲本自圆融,要修证者应先认清:智悲非同阴阳二元之两极,而是本自圆通、无从分辨的。

Originally One in Harmony Yutang Lin

Yin and Yang, two poles in communion for mutual benefits;
Dual extremities tuned to balance to attain harmonious unity.
Wisdom and compassion spring forth from limitless oneness,
Originally in unity and complete infusion without distinction.

Comment:

Complete communion of wisdom and compassion is often explained by the analogy of the communion of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are two separate poles; their coming together may balance each other and yield mutual benefits of harmonious coexistence and eventual unity. Nevertheless, wisdom and compassion spring forth from the awakening to limitless oneness, and hence they are originally indistinguishable and inseparable. Only in concepts that it is possible to mention them as separate qualities, while in attainment and awakening there is no way to denote it. Wisdom and compassion are originally in complete communion and of unity. Practitioners who aim at attainment of the ultimate should recognize clearly at the beginning that, wisdom and compassion are not dualistic poles like Yin and Yang, but are originally in complete oneness and indistinguishable.
