“Bodhidharma instructed his disciples that the Lankavatara Sutra be used to seal the mind.
The method of cultivating practice transmitted by Bodhidharma pointed out that we should pay attention closely to this important sutra.
His major teaching is there are two paths to enter Dharma Gate: Study and Practice. Study: through the study of Buddhist sutras and scriptures, you will understand Buddha Nature.
Your Buddha Nature doesn't manifest because it is clouded by defilements, such as: greed, attachment, passion, aggression and ignorance. Practice: when you follow Buddhist principles in your daily life, you discover that your Buddha Nature is equal to the Buddha's.
•Bao Yen Hsin: The willingness to accept, without complaining, suffering and unhappiness because you understand it is your own karma.
•Sui Yen Hsin: Understanding that all situations are the consequences of karmic causes, and therefore, you maintain equanimity in all circumstances, both negative and positive.
•Tsung Fa Hsin: Realizing through practice the essence of your Buddha Nature, which is equanimity.”
