靈明圓遍　林鈺堂

覺受等觀離偏頗，不著無滯了性空；
靈明本來自圓遍，迷執妄織牢籠深。

跋

覺受整體，本無偏頗。私心自限，親疏壁壘。一體等觀，還歸實際。但有執取，便成罣礙。不著於相，覺性體空。任運流通，靈明圓遍。不悟此理，迷妄苦深。循理修習，易達解脫。

Boundless Awareness　Yutang Lin

View all sensations equally without discrimination;
Neither attached nor lingering, realize blank nature.
Clear awareness originally is completely boundless.
Deluded grasping blindly woven into jail cells deep.

Comment:

Sensation in its totality is originally without preference and abomination. Individual minds draw their own limits; close or distant are distinctly separated. Viewing all equally in oneness, to return to reality. Any grasping or attachment forms some hindrance. Not being confined by form or sensation, the nature of awareness is blank, i.e., it could not be grasped. Let whatever comes flows by, clear awareness is completely boundless. Without understanding of this basic truth, suffering in delusion is ever compounded. Practicing in its light one could attain liberation readily.
