本自圓通　林鈺堂

陰陽兩極交相益，二元調和方融洽；
智悲一體分不開，本自圓通無界限。

跋

智悲圓融，常見以陰陽融通喻之。陰陽分屬兩極，交會以互補，可得融洽，可望結成一體。真智大悲卻是發乎無限一體之證悟，本來無有界限、無從分辨。只在觀念上可以分說智悲，證悟上則無以名之。智悲本自圓融，要修証者應先認清：智悲非同陰陽二元之兩極，而是本自圓通、無從分辨的。

Originally One in Harmony　Yutang Lin

Yin and Yang, two poles in communion for mutual benefits;
Dual extremities tuned to balance to attain harmonious unity.
Wisdom and compassion spring forth from limitless oneness,
Originally in unity and complete infusion without distinction.

Comment:

Complete communion of wisdom and compassion is often explained by the analogy of the communion of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are two separate poles; their coming together may balance each other and yield mutual benefits of harmonious coexistence and eventual unity. Nevertheless, wisdom and compassion spring forth from the awakening to limitless oneness, and hence they are originally indistinguishable and inseparable. Only in concepts that it is possible to mention them as separate qualities, while in attainment and awakening there is no way to denote it. Wisdom and compassion are originally in complete communion and of unity. Practitioners who aim at attainment of the ultimate should recognize clearly at the beginning that, wisdom and compassion are not dualistic poles like Yin and Yang, but are originally in complete oneness and indistinguishable.
