The body is the wisdom tree,
the mind like a bright mirror stand
Always strive to wipe it clean
making sure that no dust lands
- Shenxiu
Wisdom has never been a tree,
And the bright mirror has no stand;
There has never been anything,
So whereupon can the dust land?
- Huineng
Wisdom is the exceeded grasp
the mirror mind dimmed from bright
if there has been no things
then there is no dust to settle
- nina
