Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

Suffering does not befall him who is without attachment to names and forms.

They are but ... the contents of your own mind... If at this point you should manage to understand that, ... and you will find yourself in a paradise among the angels.
