"Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror does not stand. What does Zen mean by "nothing, where there is dust"? "

Bodhi is a kind of consciousness, but what trees are there? My heart is like a mirror, but there is no platform at all. Nothing, no appearance, no picture, no form. Since there is nothing, where does the dust come from? There is no place to live.

Appreciate:

The heart is self-nature, which is different from ordinary people's thoughts. People's thoughts are cultivated, and their self-nature is innate. Ordinary people are the masters of thought and hinder self-nature.

Buddhism believes that everything is an illusion, and the illusion affects the self, not the self. The body is also an illusion that affects self-nature because there is dust in the heart. Of course, the body is related to past lives, dust is delusion, self-nature is perfect and pure, and delusion is not caused by heart and non-ego.

If people realize their own nature, master their own nature, and then think, it is not delusion. Everything in life is self-nature, self-nature is perfect and pure, its nature is empty, its origin is doomed, it is very comfortable and has no delusion at all. What can we talk about?

Bodhi theory

Bodhi has no trees,

The mirror is not a stage,

There's nothing,

Where is the dust?

Original explanation:

This is a four-sentence poem by Huineng, the sixth ancestor.

This originated from Shen Xiu and Huineng.

Shen Xiu said, "As a bodhi tree, my heart is like a mirror. Always wipe, don't get dust. "

Huineng said, "Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. Nothing, where is the dust? "

Indeed, it is really difficult to understand these two sons, and even a correct understanding is not easy.
