Recently, a friend of mine told me a story on “菩提本无树，明镜亦非台，本来无一物，何处惹尘埃。”.

He told that there is anther version, it's

“身是菩提树，心如明镜台，时时勤拂拭，勿使惹尘埃。”

Then, I found something interesting from the Internet:

"

佛对我说：你的心上有尘。我用力地擦拭。
佛说：你错了，尘是擦不掉的。我于是将心剥了下来.
佛又说：你又错了，尘本非尘，何来有尘
我领悟不透，是什么意思？
我想这是从神秀和慧能那两个偈子引申出来。
神秀说：“身是菩提树，心如明镜台，时时勤拂拭，勿使惹尘埃。”
慧能说：“菩提本无树，明镜亦非台，本来无一物，何处惹尘埃。”
的确，要能够参透这两个偈子的确很难，就是正确的理解也不易。
参悟不透...
身是菩提树，心如明镜台，时时勤拂拭，勿使惹尘埃
众生的身体就是一棵觉悟的智慧树，
众生的心灵就象一座明亮的台镜。
要时时不断地将它掸拂擦试，
不让它被尘垢污染障蔽了光明的本性。

菩提本无树，明镜亦非台，本来无一物，何处惹尘埃
菩提原本就没有树，
明亮的镜子也并不是台。
本来就是虚无没有一物，
那里会染上什么尘埃?
现在只能从字面上去理解它，惨悟不透！
心本无尘，尘即是心。无心无尘，人便死。
我曾经思考过一个问题:
人觉得一个东西好吃,事实上嗅觉比味觉占更大的比重
所以象狗这样嗅觉灵敏的生物,在饮食上远比我们快乐
这样的想法到底对不对?..如果错了..错在哪里?
其实尘在外，心在内，常拂之，心净无尘；
尘在内，心在外，常剥之，无尘无心；
心中有尘，尘本是心，
何畏心中尘，无尘亦无尘心??

"

I don't quite understand the meaning of the two old sayings.

 

I lperfer“菩提本无树，明镜亦非台，本来无一物，何处惹尘埃。”over the first one. The reason is that  I think it tries to tell people no need to brush hard on their hearts to make it tidy and shiny because no matter how hard you brush, dust is always there. In my own opinion, the harder you try to brush off, your heart will bleed more. And I think it will take longer time for the heart to recover (It's quite painful, isn't it? I can imagine the pain if I try to brush my wound on my arm after I cut myself with a knife. And we are talking about our hearts here!!!)  So instead, ppls should keep their dusty hearts and live on. As time goes, the dust will go off gradually. I guess when ppls leave this world, all the dust will stay behind.... Based on my experience, there are many many great things waiting for you to explore in this world. Don't waste time to do the brushing. Go explore and fill your life with more enjoyments! Life is unpredictable. Sometimes, life happens and you have no controls. But look at the bright side because you don't know what's ahead of you and that's the exciting thing about life.

放下

在自己的局里又给自己设了个局。“走”不出，那就“跳”出来吧，LOL。

走不出就算了,,不管了,哭好,笑好,吃好,睡好,买衣服买好..突然就发现,已经走出了..

小妹儿，要乱来咯哇

After I read an article about the life of 沈殿霞

 

I really like one sentence in that article, which is :

 

"笑，成為大眾堅強抗逆的重要武器"

 

So Cheer up! Life is short.
