Beloved Bhagwan, Bodhidharma’s “Wake-up Sermon”.

The essence of the way is  detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from  appearances. The sutras say, “Detachment is enlightenment because it  negates appearances.” …

The three realms are greed, anger and  delusion. To leave the three realms means to go from greed, anger and  delusion back to mortality, meditation and wisdom. … The sutras say,  “Buddhas have only become buddhas while living with the three poisons  and nourishing themselves on the pure dharma.” The three poisons are  greed, anger and delusion.

The great vehicle is the greatest of  all vehicles. It’s the conveyance of bodhisattvas, who use everything  without using anything, and who travel all day without traveling. Such  is the vehicle of buddhas. The sutras say, “No vehicle is the vehicle of  buddhas.” …

The sutras say, “The cave of five aggregates is the  hall of Zen, the opening of the inner eye is the door of the great  vehicle.” What could be clearer?

Not thinking about anything is  Zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting or lying down,  everything you do is Zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the  buddha. The buddhas of the ten directions have no mind. To see no mind  is to see the buddha.

To give up yourself without regret is the  greatest charity. To transcend motion and stillness is the highest  meditation. Mortals keep moving while arhats stay still. But the highest  meditation surpasses that of both mortals and arhats. People who reach  such understanding free themselves from all appearances without effort  and cure all illnesses without treatment. Such is the power of great  Zen.
