A raft needed to cross the river is discarded when the other shore is reached, not carried about on one's head.

A person creates what they defend against.

I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake on Earth as a drop of oil on my foot.

You yourself must earnestly practice, the enlightened ones only proclaim the path.

Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.

The gift of Truthovercomes all gifts.The joy of Truthovercomes all pleasures.The taste of Truthovercomes all sweetness.

It is better to travel well then arrive.
