同體大慈平等佑，無緣大悲無不憫；
差別教化應機施，迥異世間偏私情。
跋
佛慈平等及眾生，佛悲圓攝有無緣；
私情牽繫太侷限，千手千眼無盡恩！

Universal Valentine Yutang Lin
Great mercy born of oneness cares for all beings equally;
Unconditional compassion neglects none.
Variegated guidance given to meet recipients' conditions,
Completely different from worldly partial preferences.
Comment:
Buddha's mercy extends equally to each and every being;
Buddha's compassion encompasses all without exception.
Personal feelings tie and bound into too narrow a sphere;
Thousand eyes and hands of Guan Yin render endless help.
