Bodhi originally has no tree, The bright mirror is also not a platform. Originally there is not a single thing, Where does dust arise? Such-ness stillness as mother, When thought moves, conditions arise. Emptiness and form are one thing, Everywhere dust adheres.
Zen says: "There is no single thing that is not mind, no single mind that is not thing."
Mind creates things, things engage mind. The such-ness of original mind moves when thought stirs, the two breaths interact to form things and lose the original mind. Things are the movement of mind, mind and things are one not two; unifying duality reveals the Zen path.
Those who grasp things are turned by things; Those who grasp mind are bound by mind. At the place where both mind and things are released, Spontaneous freedom appears before you.

Bodhi originally has no tree,
The bright mirror is also not a platform.
Originally there is not a single thing,
Where does dust arise?
Such-ness stillness as mother,
When thought moves, conditions arise.
Emptiness and form are one thing,
Everywhere dust adheres.
Zen says: "There is no single thing that is not mind, no single mind that is not thing."
Mind creates things, things engage mind. The such-ness of original mind moves when thought stirs, the two breaths interact to form things and lose the original mind. Things are the movement of mind, mind and things are one not two; unifying duality reveals the Zen path.
Those who grasp things are turned by things;
Those who grasp mind are bound by mind.
At the place where both mind and things are released,
Spontaneous freedom appears before you.
