順來　林鈺堂

已無迎拒號如來，欲証如來修順來；
順從如來常隨學，隨順既來漸契如。

跋

一體無二，迎拒自泯。順從法教，常隨佛學。已去不擾，元本幻化。既來則安，漸契如來。

Accommodating　Yutang Lin

Absence of welcoming and resisting is called "As It Comes."
To attain "As It Comes" practice accommodating to reality.
In accordance with Dharma follow the example of Buddha;
Accepting things as they are will gradually imbue oneness.

Comment:

The Chinese translation for "Tathagata" is literally equivalent to "As It Comes."

In oneness without duality welcoming and resisting naturally vanished. In accordance with Dharma teachings, constantly follow the examples set by Buddha. Whatever has passed no longer to stir up; phenomena are by nature illusive. Whatever has happened just accommodate to it; thus one will gradually attain "As It Comes."
