All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.
Bodhidharma
Buddhas move freely through birth and death, appearing and disappearing at will.
Bodhidharma

Bodhidharma
Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.
Bodhidharma
When delusions are absent, the mind is the land of buddhas. When delusions are present, the mind is hell. Mortals create delusions. And by using the mind to give birth to mind they always find themselves in hell. Bodhisattvas see through delusions. And by not using the mind to give birth to mind they always find themselves in the land of buddhas. If you don't use your mind to create mind, every state of mind is empty and every thought is still. You go from one buddha-land to another. If you use your mind to create mind, every state of mind is disturbed and every thought is in motion. You go from one hell to the next.
