If you cling to

appearances while

searching for meaning,

you won't find a thing.

~ Bodhidharma

If you cling to appearances

while searching for meaning,

you won't find a thing.

~ Bodhidharma

The ignorant mind, with its infinite

afflictions, passions, and evils,

is rooted in the three poisons.

Greed, anger, and delusion.

~ Bodhidharma

Not thinking about anything is Zen.

Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting

or lying down, everything you do is Zen.

~ Bodhidarma

Once you stop clinging and let things be,

you'll be free, even of birth and death.

You'll transform everything.

~ Bodhidharma
