More quotes by Bodhidharma
Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.
Bodhidharma
Not suffering another existence is reaching the Way.
Bodhidharma
Worship means reverence and humility. It means revering your real self and humbling delusions. If you can wipe out evil desires and harbor good thoughts, even if nothing shows, it's worship. Such form is its real form.
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
To have a body is to suffer.
Bodhidharma
All know the way, but few actually walk it.
Bodhidharma
But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.
Bodhidharma
Unless you see your nature, all this talk about cause & effect is nonsense. Buddhas don't practice nonsense.
Bodhidharma
The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.
Bodhidharma
Not creating delusions is enlightenment.
Bodhidharma
To enter by reason means to realize the essence through instruction and to believe that all living things share the same true nature, which isn't apparent because it's shrouded by sensation and delusion.
Bodhidharma
You can't know your real mind as long as you deceive yourself.
Bodhidharma
Once you see your nature, sex is basically immaterial.
Bodhidharma
Whoever realizes that the six senses aren't real, that the five aggregates are fictions, that no such things can be located anywhere in the body, understands the language of Buddhas.
Bodhidharma
When we're deluded there's a world to escape. When we're aware, there's nothing to escape.
Bodhidharma
Freeing oneself from words is liberation.
Bodhidharma
But people of the deepest understanding look within, distracted by nothing. Since a clear mind is the Buddha, they attain the understanding of a Buddha without using the mind.
Bodhidharma
To find a Buddha all you have to do is see your nature.
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
When mortals are alive, they worry about death. When they're full, they worry about hunger. Theirs is the Great Uncertainty. But sages don't consider the past. And they don't worry about the future. Nor do they cling to the present. And from moment to moment they follow the Way.
