A Broken Mirror

From my daughter's book, Zen ABC:

A monk asked Hua-yen, "How does an enlightened person return to the world of delusion?" The master replied, "A broken mirror never reflects again, and the fallen flowers never go back to the old branches."

  3. Hey Kevin,
    I don't remember which pill was which in The Matrix, but I hope the blue pill was the one that allowed Neo to see what was really going on.
    Blessings!
