“Bodhidharma stands far above the moralists, the puritans, the so-called good men, the altruists. He has gone to the very bottom of the problem.
If awareness doesn’t arise in you, your whole morality is bogus, your culture is simply a thin layer which could be destroyed by anybody. But once your morality has come out of your awareness, not out of a certain discipline, then this is a very different matter. Then you will respond to every situation out of your awareness. And whatever you do will be good.
Awareness cannot do anything that is bad. That is the ultimate beauty of the awareness – everything that comes out of it is simply beautiful, is simply right, and without effort, and without any practice. So rather than cutting the leaves and the branches, cut the root.
And to cut the root, there is no other methid than a single method: the method of being alert, of being aware, of being conscious.”
