Everything is like a dream

There’s no advantage in deceiving yourself. Even if you have mountains of jewels and as many servants as there are grains of sand along the Ganges, you see them when your eyes are open. But what about when your eyes are shut? You should realize then that everything you see is like a dream or illusion. 

("The Zen Teaching Of Bodhidharma", Red Pine, 1987)

Semuanya seperti sebuah mimpi

Tidak ada manfaat menipu dirimu sendiri. Bahkan jika kamu memiliki pegunungan permata dan pelayan sebanyak butiran pasir di sepanjang sungai Gangga, kamu melihatnya ketika matamu terbuka. Tetapi bagaimana jika matamu tertutup? Kamu seharusnya menyadari bahwa segala hal yang kamu lihat seperti sebuah mimpi atau khayalan.
