赵彦春英译慧能《菩提本无树》
按:以下禅宗偈语出自《六祖坛经》(唐):佛门五祖黄梅传授衣钵,首席弟子神秀作偈。偈曰:
身是菩提树,
心如明镜台,
时时勤拂拭,
勿使惹尘埃。
My body is a Bodhi tree,
My heart is like a mirror stand.
I clean it to make it speck-free
So that dust has nowhere to land.
黄梅谓其未见自性。其时六祖方入黄梅门下,尚未见知,因亦作一偈:
菩提本无树,
明镜亦非台。
本来无一物,
何处惹尘埃。
There's nothing like a Bodhi tree,
Nor such thing as a mirror stand.
There is nothing that you might see.
Where can dust find a place to land?
