内外有别　林钰堂

离于依着无认知，稍存心念已隔阂；
融入整体超思议，勿觅见解绕外围。

跋

佛法之究竟在证入本来之一切一体，于此整体融通之中，完全没有知见及认知。吾人学佛切莫误执于要以佛法解说万象，以致于与证悟格格不通，平白滞留于证悟之外，就证悟而言，但有言说，皆是戏论。只要去执净尽，即是本来之自然融通。

Not to Stay outside　Yutang Lin

In the absence of attachments and without cognition,
Even slightest intentions already formed barricades.
Merging into oneness of the totality transcends ideas.
Don't seek explanations and thus stay circling outside.

Comments:

Ultimately Dharma aims at realization of the original oneness of all. In this union of all in the totality, there is no trace of cognition or knowledge. As we progress on the enlightenment path we definitely should not mistakenly grasp to trying to explain all phenomena in terms of Dharma, and thus become blocked from ultimate realization of oneness and unfortunately remain an outsider to the realization. To the ultimate realization of Dharma whatever had been put into words are merely playful talks. Only need to thoroughly eradicate all grasping and it will be the original natural harmonious union.
