More quotes by Bodhidharma
When we're deluded there's a world to escape. When we're aware, there's nothing to escape.
Bodhidharma
Unless you see your nature, all this talk about cause & effect is nonsense. Buddhas don't practice nonsense.
Bodhidharma
The mind's capacity is limitless, and its manifestations are inexhaustible. Seeing forms with your eyes, hearing sounds with your ears, smelling odors with your nose, tasting flavors with your tongue, every movement or state is all your mind.
Bodhidharma
This one life has no form and is empty by nature. If you become attached by any form, you should reject it. If you see an ego, a soul, a birth, or a death, reject them all.
Bodhidharma
And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.
Bodhidharma

Bodhidharma
Once you stop clinging and let things be, you'll be free, even of birth and death. You'll transform everything.

Bodhidharma
As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha
Bodhidharma
When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside. When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding.
Bodhidharma
The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.
Bodhidharma
Those who remain unmoved by the wind of joy silently follow the Path.
Bodhidharma
People who don't see their own nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are liars and fools.
Bodhidharma
The essence of the Way is detachment.
