"Whoever is overcome
by this wretched and sticky craving,
his sorrows grow
like grass after the rains.
But whoever overcomes
this wretched craving,
so difficult to overcome,
sorrows fall away from him
like water from a lotus leaf."
"One should not despise
what one has received,
even though it be little,
nor envy the gains of others."
"Attach to nothing.
Hold on to nothing.
Cling to nothing
of the past, present and future."
"Empty your boat.
Emptied, it will sail lightly."
"Happy indeed we live,
we who possess nothing.
Feeders on joy we shall be
like the Radiant God."
