@NoaidiX where in the sutras is the Buddha compared metaphorically to a mirror?
That sounds like a Pure Land school interpretation, an experience evoked by 念佛, calling to mind the Buddha through recitation of the Buddha's name. The Chan school also likens the Buddha to a mirror, reflecting one's own nature, but these aren't directly sūtra-based metaphors.

While not a sūtra, in the Zongjinglu (宗鏡録), Chan master Yongming Yanshou advises his audience to take the Buddha as a mirror (以佛為鑑) — not an actual mirror (鏡), but as a mirror-like example (鑑).
