智慧教導直指空，一概不許死裡活；
慈悲方便勸容忍，偶而點撥「何執此？」
跋
智慧教導如嚴父，一掃妄緣全歸空；
禪門毒辣無肯路，逼到絕處待活轉；
慈悲喚醒猶親娘，知難省悟勸容忍；
唯恐常勸執轉緊，偶一致問待兒歸！

Father Stern and Mother Merciful Yutang Lin
Wisdom teachings point directly to emptiness of substance.
Nothing allowed, resurrect one through putting to death first.
Ingenuity born of compassion urges one to practice tolerance.
Occasionally hint at with the question, "Why grasping this?"
Comments:
Wisdom teachings are like a stern father; all deluded ideas are swept away into nothingness.
Chan (Zen) instructions so sharp that nothing is agreed on; forcing one to the dead end to wait for one's turn around.
Compassionate waking calls are like a merciful mother; realizing how stubborn the child is, give advice to practice tolerance.
Only afraid that constant urging could cause the grasping tighter, occasionally put a question to wait for the child's return to home.
