佛法精髓在「無我」；解脫非關「我」如何。
眼前有情每多苦；卻待心開方涉懷！
藩籬消逝自閒靜；悄然任運和柔行。
習性宿植縱難改，順機指路詳叮嚀。

Irrelevant to "Self" Yutang Lin
The marrow of Buddhist teachings lies in "non-self";
Liberation is irrelevant to how "oneself" is.
Sentient beings before ones eyes are mostly in suffering;
And yet only after the mind opens they become of concern.
Since the fence faded away it is naturally peaceful and quiet;
Floating along unobtrusively in harmonious and tender ways.
Even though deep-rooted habits and propensities are hard to alter,
According to circumstances, carefully point out the path in many words.
