More quotes by Bodhidharma
If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.
Bodhidharma
As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha
Bodhidharma
Externally keep yourself away from all relationships, and internally have no pantings in your heart when your mind is like unto a straight-standing wall, you may enter into the Path.
Bodhidharma
Once you see your nature, sex is basically immaterial.
Bodhidharma
And the Buddha is the person who's free: free of plans, free of cares.
Bodhidharma
Someone who seeks the Way doesn't look beyond himself.
Bodhidharma
Not suffering another existence is reaching the Way.

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
To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.
Bodhidharma
To see nothing is to perceive the Way, and to understand nothing is to know the Dharma, because seeing is neither seeing nor not seeing, and because understanding is neither understanding nor not 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
The ultimate Truth is beyond words. Doctrines are words. They're not the Way.
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
The mind is always present. You just don't see it.
Bodhidharma
You can't know your real mind as long as you deceive yourself.
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.
