Bodhidharma

Bodhidharma
According to the Sutras, evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.
Bodhidharma
If you see your nature, you don't need to read sutras or invoke buddhas. Erudition and knowledge are not only useless but also cloud your awareness. Doctrines are only for pointing to the mind. Once you see your mind, why pay attention to doctrines?

To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.
