一線似有還實無，心中分別悉如斯；
忽然消盡並徹見，融歸整體樂詠舞。
跋
今晨睡時見自身於似大劇院之廳堂內，全場人滿，而我沒有絲毫突顯自己之意圖。忽然融入整體，清楚感覺與一切一體。十分喜樂，自然哼出小曲，並且隨節拍左右足交替踏步，示於旁人。即於枕上作此詩，而後起身記下，並以簡譜記下該曲。隨後又有以下之感言：
有道理差得遠，無道理難看透；
講道理略接引，無話語真親切。
該曲之簡譜如下：

Merging into Totality
Merging into Totality Yutang Lin
One line as if there were but actually non-existent,
All mental distinctions are exactly like this.
Suddenly evaporated and clearly seen to be so,
Merging back into totality, such joy prompts singing and dancing.
Comment:
This morning during sleep I saw myself in a large hall, like an opera house, full of people, and I had not the slightest intention to make myself outstanding. Suddenly I merged into the totality and I clearly sensed oneness of all. A tremendous joy felt and it prompted naturally a tune in my mind. I then stepped my left and right foot alternatively to the tempo while humming the tune, and showed it to someone besides me. Right away I composed this poem (in Chinese) in the bed, and then got up to put it down on paper. I also recorded the tune in simplified musical notes. Thereafter, I also had the following reflections:
With theories it is distant apart, without theories it is difficult to see through;
Employing theories to receive and guide a bit, without words it is truly intimate.
The music score of the tune is as follows:
