Well-trained

Yutang Lin

Thorough understanding arrived through experiences;
Where eyes see and where feet reach are often distant.
Merging into oneness cannot be conveyed in speeches;
Concord of understanding and action reaches maturity.

Comment:

Thorough understanding could be gained only gradually through experiences. Comprehension of theory and levels of actual achievement are often far apart. Realization of awakening could not be communicated through words; it takes long-term practice in one's own coordination of understanding and action until perfect maturity and harmony to achieve sudden unification.
