同体大悲　林钰堂

万法一体流转中
离于对立　无从表彰、认定
故谓之“无缘”
而实际上
一体无分即是根本大缘

由同体之根本“因缘”
自然生起慈悲救护的心及行
而能超乎世间的考虑
不需有特殊的因缘来启发
就勇猛地从事救渡

众生一体
哪个能算是“无缘”？
舍弃或排斥任一个
就是自限于同体之外
需要开导、软化的
是那种错误的固执心及见呢

Great Compassion Born of Oneness　Yutang Lin

Blank Essence has neither distinct color nor shape
Neither tangible nor delineable
Hence it is said as Genuine Blank
Yet it pervades all things

Even though without distinct color or shape
　　　　And yet capable of displaying colors and shapes of all things
Even though intangible and un-delineable
　　　　And yet it is not absolute void
　　　　But originally present
Hence it is said as Wondrous Presence
But all things it displayed are originally of Blank Essence

Ordinarily when causal conditions are mentioned
　　　　The tacit assumption is that they are only among things
Blank Essence as originally present
And yields boundless application of wondrous presence
This should be recognized as the Fundamental Causal Condition
　　　　That transcended the definable causal conditions
