More quotes by Bodhidharma
And the Buddha is the person who's free: free of plans, free of cares.
Bodhidharma
Without the mind there is no Buddha. Without the Buddha there's no mind.
Bodhidharma
When mortals are alive, they worry about death. When they're full, they worry about hunger. Theirs is the Great Uncertainty. But sages don't consider the past. And they don't worry about the future. Nor do they cling to the present. And from moment to moment they follow the Way.
Bodhidharma
All know the way, but few actually walk it.
Bodhidharma
To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.
Bodhidharma
But people of the deepest understanding look within, distracted by nothing. Since a clear mind is the Buddha, they attain the understanding of a Buddha without using the mind.
Bodhidharma
Someone who seeks the Way doesn't look beyond himself.
Bodhidharma
In order to see a fish you must watch the water
Bodhidharma
The Way is basically perfect. It doesn't require perfecting.

Bodhidharma
Once you stop clinging and let things be, you'll be free, even of birth and death. You'll transform everything.

Bodhidharma
Our true buddha-nature has no shape. And the dust of affliction has no form.
Bodhidharma
To have a body is to suffer. Does anyone with a body know peace? Those who understand this detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss. When you seek nothing, you're on the Path.
Bodhidharma
Mortals liberate Buddhas and Buddhas liberate mortals.
Bodhidharma
But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.
Bodhidharma
Those who worship don't know, and those who know don't worship.
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
To have a body is to suffer.
