the body is like a bodhi tree

the body is like a bodhi tree

our nature a mirror bright

day by day we polish the mirror

and let no dust alight

the body is not like the bodhi tree

nor our nature a mirror bright

since all is void

how can dust alight

(hui neng)

what does it mean?

kin says:

it's like eating plain rice.. it can be boring.. and tasteless.. but give it a bit of salt, and it will taste different, but it's still the same rice.. = meaning, don't be so serious and frustrated about life and your problems.. take it lightly and try to add a bit of "spice" or humour to it and concentrate on what really matters..
