The body is the wisdom-tree,
The mind is a bright mirror in a stand;
Take care to wipe it all the time,
And allow no dust to cling.

Fundamentally no wisdom-tree exists,
Nor the stand of a mirror bright.
Since all is empty from the beginning,
Where can the dust alight

Re: Who is Right.
Fri, March 14, 2008 - 4:51 PMWonderful !!!! beautiful sayings and both are true. They look different only because one is about a method and one is about what is achieved after using the method, one is statement for a seeker how to reach top of the mountain and one is from who is already standing on top of the mountain.
One is about how to become enlightened and one is a statement from an enlightened being himself
