Quotes

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
But people of the deepest understanding look within, distracted by nothing. Since a clear mind is the Buddha, they attain the understanding of a Buddha without using the mind. Bodhidharma
Bodhidharma quote: "The mind is the root from which all things grow if you can..."
The mind is the root from which all things grow if you can understand the mind, everything else is included. 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
