畿子(有禅意的詩)

神秀說:「身是菩提樹,心如明鏡台,時時勤拂拭,勿使惹塵埃。」

The body is a Bodhi tree,
The mind a standing mirror bright.
At all times polish it diligently,
And let no dust alight.

慧能說:「菩提本無樹,明鏡亦非台,本來無一物,何處惹塵埃。」

Bodhi is fundamentally without any tree;
The bright mirror is also not a stand.
Fundamentally there is not a single thing —
Where could any dust be attracted?
