人與吾同 時時將心比心
願與佛同 處處助人容人
給雨桐的法名
二○○八年二月八日
養和齋 於加州

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.
