Shaolin master has a famous saying that a mirror is not a stage.
"Mirror Tower" comes from the poem "Body is like a bodhi tree, heart is like a mirror tower" written by a beautiful monk in Tuolin Temple of Lushan Mountain. Wipe frequently to avoid dust. Monk Huineng, the Zen master of the sixth ancestor, wrote a poem: "Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not Taiwan. There is nothing, so there is no dust. "Huineng monk doesn't know a few Chinese characters, but he is very clever. He realized that Zen is changeable to everything in the world, and everything is empty. Therefore, he became the sixth generation Zen master. After living in Nanhua Temple in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, there are no trees in Bodhi, and the mirror is not Taiwan. There was nothing. Where did the dust come from?

Bodhi has no trees,

A bright mirror is not a stage.

There's nothing. What dust will there be?

This is the story of the sixth ancestor Huineng and Shen Xiu, right?

Shen Xiu once said, "I am like a bodhi tree, and my heart is like a mirror." Wipe frequently to avoid dust. "

Huineng wrote: "Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There is nothing, so there is no dust. "

It can be seen that Huineng is the idea of achieving all emptiness in Buddhism.
