無我
It is the truth that there is no fixed, independent, and eternal entity known as the "self." This does not imply nihilism—the idea that the self does not exist at all—but rather means that because all beings arise through interdependent conditions and are in a state of constant flux, there is no essential core to which one can cling as the "self."
本來面目
A Buddhist term referring to one's "original face" or "true, fundamental nature."
It signifies a pure, clear nature or truth—free from pretense or falsehood—that one possesses even before birth.
回光返照
A term from Buddhist Zen practice meaning "turning the light back to shine inward"—specifically, shifting one's gaze or mind from the outside world to the self in order to engage in deep introspection and self-reflection.
凡所有相 皆是虛妄 若見諸相非相 卽見如來
All forms and shapes—whether visible to the eye or imagined in the mind—are illusory and devoid of true reality. If one realizes that these forms are merely outward appearances rather than true substance, one will behold the Tathagata—the embodiment of ultimate truth and Buddhahood.
不應住色生心 不應住聲香味觸法生心 應無所住 以生其心
One should give rise to the mind without dwelling on forms (sights), and one should give rise to the mind without dwelling on sounds, scents, tastes, tactile sensations, or mental objects; one should give rise to the mind without dwelling on anything.
若以色見我 以音聲求我 是人行邪道 不能見如來
If one seeks Me through form or sound, one walks a deviant path and cannot see the Tathagata.
一切有爲法 如夢幻泡影 如露亦如電 應作如是觀
All beings and phenomena in the world, born of causal connections, are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; they are like dew and like lightning—thus should they be contemplated.
我相
atman samjna
"idea of a self" or the perception of an ego/soul; the illusionary, ingrained mental habit of viewing an unchanging, permanent "I" or "self" in things that are actually impermanent and conditional.
人相
pudgala samjna
"A mind fixated on the notion of distinction based on being human," or "a mindset that differentiates others from oneself and remains captive to the stereotype of what it means to be human."
衆生相
sattva samjna
It is a mindset that divides and distinguishes between Buddhas and sentient beings. It is a mindset of self-limitation and giving up on spiritual practice, thinking, "I am a lowly sentient being, so I cannot become a Buddha," or "How could I possibly attain great enlightenment?"
壽者相
jiva samjna
The erroneous notion—or attachment—that one's finite lifespan of life, or the years, age, and status one possesses, are eternal or special.
身是菩提樹 (신시보리수) - 몸은 보리수요 The body is the Bodhi tree,
心如明鏡臺 (심여명경대) - 마음은 맑은 거울(대)이라 The mind is a clear mirror.
時時勤拂拭 (시시근불식) - 때때로 부지런히 털고 닦아 From time to time, diligently brush and wipe
勿使惹塵埃 (물사야진애) - 티끌과 먼지가 묻지 않도록 하라 Ensure that no specks of dirt or dust settle on it.
— Great Master Shenxiu
菩提本無樹 (보리본무수) - 보리에 나무없고 Bodhi originally has no tree,
明鏡亦非臺 (명경역비대) - 거울 또한 거울이 아니다 The bright mirror also is not a mirror,
本來無一物 (본래무일물) - 본래 한물건이 없거니 Originally there is not a single thing,
何處惹塵埃 (하처야진애) - 어느곳에 티끌이 일어나랴 Where does it cling to dust and impurities?
고통이 너를 붙잡고 있는것이 아니다. 네가 고통을 붙잡고 있는것이다.
It is not suffering that is holding onto you; it is you who are holding onto suffering.
삶은 소유물이 아니라 순간 순간 있음이다.
Life is not about possessions, but about being in each and every moment.
-법정 스님 BeopJeong Sunim
