Inscription: In the history of Zen, Yeno (Hui-neng), traditionally considered the Sixth Patriarch of the Zen seat in China, cuts a most important figure. In fact, he is the founder of Zen as distinguished from the other Buddhist sects existing in China. The standard set up by him as the true explanation of Zen faith is this stanza: The Bodhi (True Wisdom) is not like the tree, The mirror bright is nowhere shining. As there is nothing from the first, Where does the dust itself collect?
