Sutra in Forty-Two Sections (Section 42)

Sutra in Forty-Two Sections

Translated from Chinese into English by the Buddhist Text Translation Society,

Section 42

Understanding that the World Is Illusory

The Buddha said, "Look upon royalty and high positions as upon the dust that floats through a crack. I look

upon treasures of gold and jade as upon broken tiles. I look upon fine silk clothing as upon cheap cotton. I

look upon a great thousand-world universe as upon a small nut kernel. I look upon the waters of the

Anavatapta Lake as upon oil used to anoint the feet. "
