clear the dust from your mirror...

“The Body is like the sacred Bodhi Tree,
From dust ever keep it free,
The mind... a reflecting mirror,
Let not dust be its cover.”
(Shen-hsiu)

  1. "Bodhi originally has no tree,
    The mirror also has no stand.
    Buddha nature is originally clean and
    pure;
    Where is there room for dust?"

  2. Imagined dust only. Gone if we imagine no dust.

  3. That would still be imagining, wouldn't it?
