More Quotes from Bodhidharma:
Everything good and bad comes from your own mind. To find something beyond the mind is impossible.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
... the fools of this world prefer to look for sages far away. They don't believe that the wisdom of their own mind is the sage ... the sutras say, 'Mind is the teaching.' But people of no understanding don't believe in their own mind or that by understanding this teaching they can become a sage. They prefer to look for distant knowledge and long for things in space, buddha-images, light, incense, and colors. They fall prey to falsehood and lose their minds to insanity.
Bodhidharma
