与同 林钰堂
人与吾同 时时将心比心
愿与佛同 处处助人容人
给雨桐的法名
二○○八年二月八日
养和斋 于加州

Same As Yutang Lin
As sentient beings others are the same as I
All the time be sensitive to others' feelings as my own
My Bodhi wishes are the same as Buddhas'
Everywhere I try to help others and accommodate others
Comments:
The title of the couplet in Chinese is a homophonic pun for a little girl's name. So I gave the homophonic name as Dharma name for her. Since the couplet is meaningful in Dharma sense, so I translated it into English even though the pun was lost in translation.
