等同之間 林鈺堂 萬法同觀遮差異，一切等觀泯居心； 跋 或謂「萬法同觀」與「萬法等觀」無異。同觀之中，將明顯察覺之種種差異一律起心遮蔽。等觀之際，則是心地恢復本來清淨，離於對立、分別之心行。同觀尚在意識牢籠之內，依之難出輪迴。修習等觀，則有望消泯見執，漸趨解脫。一字之辨，悟隔淵天。俗謂：「行家一伸手，便知有沒有」；此之謂歟！
Between Same and Equal Yutang Lin Viewing everything the same ignores the distinctions. Comments: Some would say that it is the same to say "viewing everything the same" or "viewing everything equally." In viewing everything the same all sorts of obvious distinctions are intentionally ignored. While in viewing everything equally the mind resumes original purity in the absence of mental activities that are dualistic and making distinctions. Viewing everything the same is still within the cage of cognitive awareness, hence relying on it will not free one from transmigrations. Practicing viewing everything equally would gradually release and eliminate fixed views so that one would gradually attain liberation. The distinction in using one word or the other reveals the polar distance between worldly and transcendental comprehensions. A popular saying goes: as an expert puts his hands into the matter, he would instantly find out whether it is genuine or not." The saying certainly applies here!
