Shen hsiu -
The body is like a bodhi tree
the mind is like a standing mirror
always try to keep it clean
don't let t gather dust.
Han Neng's reply -
bodhi doesn't have any trees,
this mirror doesn't have a stand
our buddha nature is forever pure
where do you get dust?
The mind is the bodhi tree
the body is the mirror's stand
the mirror itself is so clean
dust has no place to land
