『心偈』38

「何ヲカ拂フ 拂フガ塵 拂ハヌガ塵」

             柳宗悦『心偈』

What do you dusts off?

You dust off is dusts, that you don't dusts off is also dusts.

 

Since we have a lot of dusts, we wish dust off dusts and clean up.

No one don't wish it.

This wiping can't be bad.

But dusting off or not dusting off is also relative acts, isn't it?

It is said that the act of not dusting off is dusts, you can say the act of dusting off is new dusts.

Both of them are binary acts.

And existence of dusts will be also relative thing.

If you go to the unbinary world, you don't have dusts that you have to dust off.And there is no difference of dusting off or not dusting off.  

We can say that Buddha-nature is original purity, what is the meaning of the acts dusting off or not dusting off in front of the purity.  

You may say dusting off that is silly of you wash blood for blood.

So It is said that the act of not dusting off is dusts, the act of dusting off is also dusts.

The world not involved wiping and not wiping is only purity.  

Cleanness like dusting off isn't still out of dual meanings.  

Like not dusting off  much less will be sink third meaning of forth meaning.  In the non duality world what do I  pay for it?

And it is said that "the non duality world " is "all things are essentially nothingness."

The poem of famous Hui-neng the sixth ancestor of Zen is ” you don't need dusting off dusts."
