Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either. Bodhidharma
As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha. Bodhidharma
But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside. Bodhidharma
I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.John Lennon
To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings. Bodhidharma
