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.

More quotes by 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
To find a Buddha all you have to do is see your nature.
Bodhidharma
The Buddha is your real body, your original mind.
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
But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.
Bodhidharma
In order to see a fish you must watch the water
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
Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.
Bodhidharma
Delusion means mortality. And awareness means Buddhahood.
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
And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.
Bodhidharma
When we're deluded there's a world to escape. When we're aware, there's nothing to escape.
Bodhidharma
Unless you see your nature, all this talk about cause & effect is nonsense. Buddhas don't practice nonsense.
Bodhidharma
The ultimate Truth is beyond words. Doctrines are words. They're not the Way.
Bodhidharma
The Way is basically perfect. It doesn't require perfecting.
Bodhidharma
Those who remain unmoved by the wind of joy silently follow the Path.
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
All know the way, but few actually walk it.
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
Not suffering another existence is reaching the Way.
Bodhidharma
