道途、真理與生命　林鈺堂簡繁轉換 - 繁體

唯依因緣無可執，自然運行活生生；
修習契此成道途，千變萬化無可限。

跋

耶教中常提基督乃唯一之道途、真理及生命。此三者在修習佛法之我聽來，亦是融合一體。但是真理只在於一切乃因緣所成而無可執取；因緣之運行有其自然之規律，靈活一如有生命；吾人修習契合真理之種種努力皆成道途。如此瞭解則形形色色，方便萬千而無限無盡，終不定於一尊一是。

The Way, the Truth, and the Life　Yutang Lin

Simply dependent on causal conditions with nothing to hold onto,
All phenomena function naturally and lively, as if a living entity.
All endeavors to resume oneness with this lively totality become ways.
With myriads of varieties, simply impossible to limit or bound them.

Comments:

In Christianity it is often quoted the saying of Jesus, "I am the way, the truth, and the life," and its consequent claim of sole monopoly to salvation. To me as a Buddhist practitioner these three, Way, Truth and Life, also form a harmonious trinity. However, the Truth is simply that all phenomena are consequences of causal conditions and there is nothing to hold onto; functioning of causal conditions are in accordance with natural laws, and it is lively as the Life; all our endeavors to practice so as to become in accordance and even in oneness with such Truth form Ways. With such comprehension of Way, Truth, and Life, ways and means of salvation become myriad and variegated such that they are boundless and endless; they would never rest in only one being or one right approach.
