无我的积极面　林钰堂

无我不自限，任运能应变；
历练趋圆熟，救渡多方便！

跋

无我非消极之无所作为，而是能以清明的心地体会真相，不离同体之情怀，自然出生适切之回应。更由于不自设限而能不断地发展潜能，经由随缘之历练而圆融智悲，渐渐领会种种渡化利他之方便。

Active Aspect of Non-self　Yutang Lin

In the absence of Self, there is no self-set limitations.
Floating along currents and is capable of adjustment.
Experienced through trials, one matures into harmony.
In salvation deeds varieties of skillful means displayed.

Comment:

Non-Self does not amount to indolent inactivity. Rather, it implies the capacity to appreciate real situations with clarity of mind, and, without separating from the compassion born of realization of oneness of all, naturally respond adequately to situations. Furthermore, owing to the absence of self-set limitations, one would be able to develop continuously one's potentials, and through experiences gained in going through situations that came and gone one's wisdom and compassion mature toward unification in harmony. Thus, one gradually comprehended all sorts of skillful means in the salvation of all beings toward enlightenment.
