自由 林鈺堂

路無定軌莫自限,依無必處莫自偏,
鵠無暫停莫自認,門無可覓莫自閉。

外形內相皆出乎一偏之執取。離於自限、自偏、自認、自閉,則行住靈活,內外融通。

Freedom Yutang Lin

Path has no predetermined course; do not set limits by oneself.
Rest has no necessary spot; do not prefer one place by oneself.
Target has no pausing moment; do not presume it by oneself.
Door is nowhere to be found; do not shut oneself in enclosure.

Comment:

Outward forms and inner concepts all arise out of one-sided grasping. Refrain from limitation, preference, recognition and closure that are self-imposed, then action and inaction will be alive and fluent, and inside and outside will be in harmonious oneness.
