層層無盡 林鈺堂 銀河之外漸近觀，一葉之內屢顯微； 跋 舍弟傳來其母校網頁，上列科技特效，能由樹梢一葉，以每次十倍之比例，昇空向下層層遠眺，或入內深探層層顯微。上達銀河之外，內至夸克之域。歷經四十次如此之縮小及放大視野後，令人不禁直接體會「無我」之意義。 吾人習於生理之視野而不悟受其局限。若能了悟無限層次不同廣狹視野之本來融通，即能超越通俗「有我」之見地，而確知無我可執。
Scales ad infinitum Yutang Lin Gradually looking down from beyond Milky Way, Comment: My brother forwarded a webpage from the website of his alma mater. It presents a special technological feast that shows successively, at the rate of powers of ten, views looking down ever higher into space from above a leaf at the top of an oak tree, or magnifying ever tinier particles inside the leaf. It goes as far above as reaching beyond the Milky Way, and as deep within as arriving at the realm of quarks. Having gone through this sequence of forty layers of ever magnifying views one could not help but to comprehend intuitively the meaning of "no self." We are accustomed to our normal physical senses and views without a keen awareness of our being limited by them. If one could comprehend the fact that views of varying scopes ad infinitum are originally in harmonious oneness, then one would transcend the ordinary views stemming from the assumption of a self, and reach the truth with certainty that there is no self that one could hold onto.
