Translation: 
"The Bodhi* fundamentally is not a tree. 
The bright mirror also has no stand. 
If originally a thing does not exist, 
On what can dust collect?"

* Note: Bodhi (Sanskrit: बो#ध) refers to the tree in India under which the Buddha sat and attained enlightenment.
The term also refers directly to the enlightenment (or awakening) itself.

Background:
According to Buddhist lore, the Fifth Patriarch proposed a poetry competition to determine his successor. The lowly, illiterate monk Hui-neng shockingly won the patriarchy, having asked another monastic to transcribe his poem on a wall beside the other poems. Huineng's poem (to the left) is a direct response to the frontrunning submission by the most esteemed scholar-monk of the monastery, Shen-Xiu, which read:

"The body is the Bodhi tree, 
The mind is like a bright mirror stand. 
Moment to moment, diligently wipe, 
To let no dust collect."

Chant Of The Sixth Patriarch - Reed Criddle
