From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?

What is most needed is a loving heart.

Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.

Beings are owners of their action, heirs of their action.

From craving arises sorrow, from craving arises fear, but he who is freed from craving has no sorrow and certainly no fear.

This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.

Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp; hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.
