More quotes by 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
The Buddha is your real body, your original mind.
Bodhidharma
When we're deluded there's a world to escape. When we're aware, there's nothing to escape.
Bodhidharma
As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha
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
Without the mind there is no Buddha. Without the Buddha there's no mind.
Bodhidharma
Those who remain unmoved by the wind of joy silently follow the Path.
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
Those who worship don't know, and those who know don't worship.
Bodhidharma
Unless you see your nature, all this talk about cause & effect is nonsense. Buddhas don't practice nonsense.
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
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
Once you see your nature, sex is basically immaterial.
Bodhidharma
Not creating delusions is enlightenment.
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 seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.
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
The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.
Bodhidharma
Delusion means mortality. And awareness means Buddhahood.
Bodhidharma
Once you stop clinging and let things be, you'll be free, even of birth and death. You'll transform everything.
Bodhidharma
