Whoever knows that the mind is a fiction and devoid of anything real knows that his own mind neither exists nor doesn't exist.
BodhidharmaAccording to the Sutras, evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.
BodhidharmaUnless you see your nature, you shouldn't go around criticizing the goodness of others. There's no advantage in deceiving yourself. Good and bad are distinct. Cause and effect are clear. But fools don't believe and fall straight into a hell of endless darkness without even knowing it. What keeps them from believing is the heaviness of their karma. They're like blind people who don't believe there's such a thing as light. Even if you explain it to them, they still don't believe, because they're blind. How can they possibly distinguish light?
