Bodhidharma sat facing a wall. Huike [who would be his successor] stood in the snow and cut off his arm, saying, “My mind is not at peace. Please, Teacher, pacify my mind.” Bodhidharma said, “Bring out your mind and I will pacify it for you.” Huike said, “When I search for my mind, ultimately it cannot be found.” Bodhidharma said, “I have already pacified your mind for you.” — Case 41. Bodhidharma Pacifies the Mind
