More quotes by Bodhidharma
Worship means reverence and humility it means revering your real self and humbling delusions.
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
The Buddha is your real body, your original mind.

Bodhidharma
The essence of the Way is detachment.
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
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 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
