　　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 .

　　身是菩提树，心如明镜台。时时勤拂拭，莫使惹尘埃。

　　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

　　菩提本无树，明镜亦非台。本来无一物，何处惹尘埃。

　　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

　　生来坐不卧，死去卧不坐。

　　原是臭骨头，何为立功过？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

　　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

　　And yet Buddhata is really at present.

　　It is not Master who teaches it to me,

　　As yet I have gotten nothing at all.

　　因守无常心，佛演有常性。

　　不知方便者，犹春池拾砾。

　　我今不施功，佛性而现前。

　　非师相授与，我亦无所得。

　　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

　　垢净共住，水波同体。

　　触境迷着，浩然忘归。

　　三世平等，本来清净。

　　一念不起，即见佛心。

　　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

　　卧轮有伎俩，能断百思想对境心不起，菩提日日长。

　　慧能无伎俩，不断百思想。对境心数起，菩提怎么长？
