Let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted,

Let go of your worries

and be completely clear-hearted,




like the face of a mirror




that contains no images.




If you want a clear mirror,




behold yourself




and see the shameless truth,




which the mirror reflects.




If metal can be polished




to a mirror-like finish,




what polishing might the mirror




of the heart require?




Between the mirror and the heart




is this single difference:




the heart conceals secrets,




while the mirror does not.
