老生常談不嫌煩，解脫精髓在去執；
逢事但循「無我」理，塵埃漸落心自寧。
跋
一路修來，深覺「無我」之益。逢事皆依之而觀察、思索及行止，自然得長遠清明之益。不嫌老生常談，但望修行者能常咀嚼之！

Chewing over "Non-self" Yutang Lin
Old people’s regular saying would not be abhorred as bothersome;
The pith of emancipation is to be rid of grasping.
Matters resolved in accordance only with the principle of non-self,
Dust gradually settles down and mind naturally resumes calm.
Comment:
As I have walked along the path of practice the benefit of adhering to "non-self" is deeply felt. Whatever happens, simply observe, ponder and act or refrain in accordance with this teaching to transcend selfishness and self-centered limitations, then the benefit of long-term clarity and peace would naturally ensue. Please not be abhorred by such regular saying of old practitioners; I simply hope that Buddhist practitioners would often chew over the teaching of "non-self."
