堪治　林鈺堂

因緣不可強，境遇無從移；
堪治唯心地，離纏護菩提。

跋

離於世局，毫無勢利，方易認清本份。因緣無可勉強；境遇何能更替？唯餘心地，自作自受，自擇自趨，尚可治理。牽纏唯苦，頓然全放。純粹一心，回歸本淨。願眾咸證，身心融洽。

Renewable　Yutang Lin

Causes and conditions cannot be compelled;
Situations and opportunities stay immovable.
Only mind field remains to be still renewable;
Keep away from tangle to nurture Bodhicitta.

Comment:

Staying away from worldly situations and being powerless and profitless, only then could it become easier for one to realize one's original state. Causes and conditions could not be compelled. How could situations and opportunities be replaced? Only mind field remains to be renewable because there one reaps what one sowed, and one is entitled to make choices and have preferences. Entanglements lead only to suffering; just let go of them all at once. Become pure and single-minded to resume original purity. May all attain harmonious unification of mind and body!
