Viele Leute schreiben viel... so wird folgender Dialog (J.Broughton) auf einen nahen Schüler der Bodhidharma Linie zugeschrieben:
Question: What if I gather the mind into dhyana so that it does not move?"
Answer: "This is bondage samadhi. It is useless. This holds even for the four dhyanas, each of which is merely a state of quiescence from which you will return to disturbance again. They are not to be valued. These are created dharmas, dharmas that will be destroyed again, not ultimate Dharma. If you can understand that intrinsically there is neither quiescence nor disturbance, then you will be able to exist of yourself. The one who is not drawn into quiescence and disturbance is the man of spirit." Further: "If one is capable of not seizing on interpretations, not creating the mind of delusion, and not esteeming profound knowledge, then he will be a peaceful person. If there is one dharma to be esteemed or valued, this dharma will be the one most capable of binding and killing you, and you will fall into having mind. This is an unreliable state of affairs. There are innumerable common men throughout the world who are bound by terminology and the written word."
