身是菩提樹， The body is a Bodhi tree,
心如明鏡臺。 The mind a standing mirror bright.
時時勤拂拭， At all times polish it diligently,
勿使惹塵埃。 And let no dust alight.
— 玉泉神秀 — Shenxiu

菩提本無樹， There is no Bodhi tree,
明鏡亦非臺。 Nor stand of a mirror bright.
本來無一物， Since all is void,
何處惹塵埃。 Where can the dust alight?
— 大鑒惠能 — Huineng
