Collection: Handmade & Other Statues

Huike said to Bodhidharma, "My mind is not at peace. Please, set it at peace, master."
Bodhidharma replied, "Bring me your mind and I'll set it at peace for you."
After sitting exhaustively, Huike returned and said to the master, "I've searched and searched, but I cannot find the mind."

"There," said Bodhidharma, "I've set it at peace for you."
—Zen koan
