是非皆離入無二，無實之非去牽纏，
三段破立解活用，佛即非佛是名佛。
跋
拙作〈《金剛經》要旨〉中，指出經中避免對立的論法有三：是非皆離、無實之非及三段破立。詳見《養和齋明經集》。此經中以「甲，即非甲，是名甲」除盡一切法執。雖然如此，有些學佛者仍難免為「佛」所限之心態及行止。在此特地將經中未及標明之句補綴，願能提醒「佛，即非佛，是名佛」，而徹底解脫之！

Subject: Appendix to the Diamond Sutra in Calligraphy_金剛經補綴翰墨
In my earlier work F0151 and Poem078, I pointed out the last crucial
concept that was not explicitly mentioned in the Diamond Sutra, namely, that: Buddha, is non-Buddha, is named "Buddha."
在我早期的作品F0151及Poem078當中，我指出了在金剛經中並沒有明確提及的最終決定性的觀念，那就是，佛即非佛是名佛。
Today I wrote this in calligraphy to call attention to this important "final sentence."
今天我將之手書以喚起注意這重要的〝末後一句〞。
Attain Enlightenment Soon!
祝早成佛！

Appendix to the Diamond Sutra Yutang Lin
Disengaged from both right and wrong to merge into non-dual;
Negating as being insubstantial could eradicate entanglement.
Syllogistic denial and confirmation lead to lively usage;
Buddha, is non-Buddha, is named "Buddha."
Comment:
In my Chinese article "Essentials of the Diamond Sutra" it has been pointed out that there are three types of arguments in the Sutra to avoid dualism: Disengaged from both right and wrong, negating as being insubstantial, and syllogistic denial and confirmation. For details please read my book in Chinese "Yang He Zhai Ming Jing Ji." ("Collection of Expositions on Sutras from the Study for the Cultivation of Harmony") In this sutra the pattern of "A, is non-A, is named ‘A’" is used to free attachments to everything. Nevertheless, some followers of Buddha could not help but maintain attitudes and behaviors that are confined by "Buddha." Therefore, I offer the statement which is not spelled out in the Sutra, as an appendix to it. May Buddhists be reminded that "Buddha, is non-Buddha, is named ‘Buddha’," and become thoroughly emancipated.
