Bodhidharma

Worship means reverence and humility. It means revering your real self and humbling delusions.

Neither gods nor men can foresee when an evil deed will bear its fruit.

If you use your mind to look for a Buddha, you won't see the Buddha.

If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it's the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.

Only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teachers help.

People who don't see their nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are lairs and fools.

The Buddha is your real body, your original mind.

Mortals liberate Buddhas and Buddhas liberate mortals.

All know the way, but few actually walk it.

The mind is always present. You just don't see it.

A Buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad.

But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.

Regardless of what we do, our karma has no hold on us.

To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.

As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha.

All phenomena are empty.

Someone who seeks the Way doesnt look beyond himself.

According to the Sutras evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.

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.

As mortals, we're ruled by conditions, not by ourselves.

The Way is basically perfect. It doesn't require perfecting.

And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.

Whoever knows that the mind is a fiction and devoid of anything real knows that his own mind neither exists nor doesn't exist.

If we should be blessed by some great reward such as fame or fortune its the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.

The mind is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the mind.

Your mind is nirvana.

The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion.

The essence of the Way is detachment.

Not suffering another existence is reaching the Way.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

According to the Sutras, evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.

Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.

Buddhas move freely through birth and death, appearing and disappearing at will.

Words are illusions.

As long as you're enthralled by a lifeless form, you're not free.

To find a Buddha all you have to do is see your nature.

Our nature is the mind. And the mind is our nature.

Only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teacher's help.

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.

You can't know your real mind as long as you deceive yourself.

But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.

And the Buddha is the person who's free: free of plans, free of cares.

If your mind is pure, all buddha-lands are pure.

Those who remain unmoved by the wind of joy silently follow the Path.

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.

The Dharma is the truth that all natures are pure.

Once you see your nature, sex is basically immaterial.

People of this world are deluded. They're always longing for something - always, in a word, seeking.

Delusion means mortality. And awareness means Buddhahood.

Many roads lead to the path, but basically there are only two: reason and practice.

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.

To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings.

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.

To have a body is to suffer.

To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.

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.

Your nature is the Buddha.

Worship means reverence and humility it means revering your real self and humbling delusions.

The mind is the root from which all things grow if you can understand the mind, everything else is included.

Freeing oneself from words is liberation.

Not creating delusions is enlightenment.

Buddhas don't practice nonsense.
