如盲执烛 | Like a blind man holding a candle

云门祖庭

双语佛典

智如日，慧如月；智慧常明，于外着境，被妄念浮云盖覆，自性不得明朗。
——《六祖坛经》

Our evil habits may be likened unto the clouds; while sagacity and wisdom (Prajna), are the sun and moon respectively. When we attach ourselves to outer objects, our Essence of Mind is clouded by wanton thoughts which prevent our Sagacity and Wisdom from sending forth their light.
from Platform Sutra
