Bodhidharma

Not creating delusions is enlightenment.

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

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

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.

Freeing oneself from words is liberation.

The Dharma is the truth that all natures are pure.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Delusion means mortality. And awareness means Buddhahood.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Once you see your nature, sex is basically immaterial.

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