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.

More quotes by Bodhidharma
To have a body is to suffer.
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
Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.
Bodhidharma
Without the mind there is no Buddha. Without the Buddha there's no mind.
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
And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.
Bodhidharma
To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.
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
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
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
All know the way, but few actually walk it.
Bodhidharma
If you use your mind to look for a Buddha, you won't see the Buddha.
Bodhidharma
People who don't see their own nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are liars and fools.
Bodhidharma
Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen.
Bodhidharma
Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
Bodhidharma
Someone who seeks the Way doesn't look beyond himself.
Bodhidharma
Once you stop clinging and let things be, you'll be free, even of birth and death. You'll transform everything.
Bodhidharma
To find a Buddha all you have to do is see your nature.
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
To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.
Bodhidharma
