Quotes about Freedom by Bodhidharma

  • An Awakened person is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad.
  • The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.
  • A buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad. Such is his power that karma can't hold him. No matter what kind of karma, a buddha transforms it. Heaven and hell are nothing to him. But the awareness of a mortal is dim compared to that of a buddha, who penetrates everything, inside and out.
