The title of this lovely arrange, 明鏡止水 (Meikyo Shisui) is literally translated into English as ""The moon reflecting on still water.

Meikyo Shisui is the likening of spontaneous, ‘no mind’ response to the water and the moon. Both the water and the moon are unthinking; therefore the moon does not think about reflecting on the water, and the water does not think about being reflected upon. If you scoop up the reflection of the moon in a container, it`s obvious that the water is still going to hold the reflection. We can think of a person’s spirit reflecting on things as being the same as the moon reflecting on the water. Mirrors also reflect, and in the same way that everything held in front of a mirror is reflected, a person's spirit will reflect everything held in front of it.

However, if something was casting a reflection and we placed our body in the reflection, our spirit would be taken by it. Therefore, with an empty, calm mind, we produce no reflection, just as if we face a mirror into a mirror; there will be no reflection in between. We can think of this as being in an extremely aware state of mind where we can react spontaneously and naturally with no distracting thoughts, for, although we call this state mushin or ‘no mind, ' it doesn’t mean ‘not thinking, ‘ it means ‘free of distracting thoughts. ’ However, neither the moon nor the water is duty bound to speak by means of the water’s purity or impurity. Also, although the moon reflects on the surface of the water, if we search the bottom of the water and find no moon, this is the end. It's simply the mind and heart that reflects the same as a still lake or a clear mirror. The moon has shape and color. The mind has neither shape nor color. By using the visible we provide a metaphor for the invisible.
