Every teaching of Buddhism concerns the mind. And every teaching of the mind is based on meditation and wisdom. Many people think of meditation as sitting down and not moving and of wisdom as thinking up great ideas and making insightful pronouncements. But for Hui-neng, meditation is not about our physical body, and wisdom is not about our mental ability. By means of wisdom, we see our true body, our buddha nature. And by means of meditation, we put our true body into action, we become a buddha.
