More quotes by Bodhidharma
Not creating delusions is enlightenment.
Bodhidharma
Everything sacred, nothing sacred.
Bodhidharma
Worship means reverence and humility it means revering your real self and humbling delusions.
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 Buddha is your real body, your original mind. This mind has no form or characteristics, no cause or effect, no tendons or bones. It's like space. You can't hold it. It's not the mind of materialists or nihilists. If you don't see your own miraculously aware nature, you'll never find a Buddha, even if you break your body into atoms.
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
Once you see your nature, sex is basically immaterial.
Bodhidharma

To have a body is to suffer.
Bodhidharma
The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.
Bodhidharma
Our true buddha-nature has no shape. And the dust of affliction has no form.
Bodhidharma
But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.
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
The essence of the Way is detachment.
Bodhidharma
The mind is always present. You just don't see it.
Bodhidharma
Whoever knows that the mind is a fiction and devoid of anything real knows that his own mind neither exists nor doesn't exist.
Bodhidharma
When we're deluded there's a world to escape. When we're aware, there's nothing to escape.
Bodhidharma
