"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."

"A #Buddha doesn’t observe precepts. A Buddha doesn’t do good or evil. A Buddha isn’t energetic or lazy. A Buddha is someone who does nothing, someone who can’t even focus his mind on a Buddha. A Buddha isn’t a Buddha. Don’t think about #Buddhas."

"When the mortal mind appears, #buddhahood disappears. When the mortal mind disappears, buddhahood appears. When the mind appears, reality disappears. When the mind disappears, reality appears. Whoever knows that nothing depends on anything has found the Way. And whoever knows that the mind depends on nothing is always at the place of enlightenment."

"Every suffering is a #Buddha-seed, because suffering impels mortals to seek wisdom. But you can only say that suffering gives rise to #buddhahood. You can’t say that suffering is buddhahood. Your body and mind are the field. Suffering is the seed, wisdom the sprout, and buddhahood the grain."

One of the most striking things about Bodhidharma’s earliest biography is how little it tries to explain or conclude.
Even the famous “single sandal” story is recorded without interpretation.
That restraint may be the most instructive thing of all.
