When mortals are alive, they worry about death. When they're full, they worry about hunger. Theirs is the Great Uncertainty. But sages don't consider the past. And they don't worry about the future. Nor do they cling to the present. And from moment to moment they follow the Way.
BodhidharmaIf 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.
BodhidharmaWhen you don't understand, you depend on reality. When you do understand, reality depends on you.
