　　Your body is just like a Bo Tree , your heart is just like a bright mirror table.

　　You have to whisk it so hard hourly, yet there must be no dust on the mirror.

　　Note: Bo tree is a pipal .

　　身是菩提樹，心如明鏡臺。時時勤拂拭，莫使惹塵埃。

　　The Famous And Popular Gatha By The Sixth Sect Hui Neng

　　In nature there is no tree for Bodhi , the bright-mirror is not the table, either.

　　In nature there is nothing at all, anywhere is there dust which makes you sad

　　菩提本無樹，明鏡亦非臺。本來無一物，何處惹塵埃。

　　The Famous Gatha By The Sixth Sect Hui Neng

　　Sitting, not falling in sleep while being born

　　Falling in sleep, not sitting while being dead

　　Your body is just the utensil of a foul bone,

　　Why are you busy with its failure or success

　　生來坐不臥，死去臥不坐。

　　原是臭骨頭，何爲立功過？The Famous Gatha by a Buddhist monk Bao Zhang

　　In nature there is no life or death,

　　Showing up life and death nowadays .

　　And yet I have to live in my heart,

　　The second body will be here again

　　本來無生死，今亦示生死。

　　我得去住心，他生複來此。

　　My keeping to impermanence mood,

　　Buddha shows up imperishable nature.

　　He who does not know ways is as if

　　He is picking up gravels in spring pools

　　Nowadays I”m not working hard at it

　　And yet Buddhata is really at present.

　　It is not Master who teaches it to me,

　　As yet I have gotten nothing at all.

　　因守無常心，佛演有常性。

　　不知方便者，猶春池拾礫。

　　我今不施功，佛性而現前。

　　非師相授與，我亦無所得。

　　The Famous Gatha By Monk Tao Wu

　　Purity and immorality live together

　　Water and waves have the same form.

　　Touching circumstances is confused,

　　Otherwise going home is greatly forgot

　　Yet the three worlds are equal in fact,

　　Which of them are quite pure in nature.

　　There is no mind while facing states,

　　Which means Buddha is felt and seen

　　垢淨共住，水波同體。

　　觸境迷著，浩然忘歸。

　　叁世平等，本來清淨。

　　一念不起，即見佛心。

　　Wo Lun said:

　　Wo Lun has many tricks, which cut off hundreds of desires.

　　There is no mind facing states, Bo is growing up each day.

　　Hui Neng said:

　　Hui Neng has no tricks, not cutting off hundred of desires

　　There are minds facing states, so how Bo grows up one day

　　臥輪有伎倆，能斷百思想對境心不起，菩提日日長。

　　慧能無伎倆，不斷百思想。對境心數起，菩提怎麼長？
