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. "

Section 33

Wisdom and Clarity Defeat the Demons

The Buddha said, "People who cultivate the Way are like a soldier who goes into battle alone against ten thousand enemies. He dons his armor and goes out the gate. He may prove to be a coward; he may get halfway to the battlefield and retreat; he may be killed in combat; or he may return victorious. Shramanas who study the Way must make their minds resolute and be vigorous, courageous, and valiant. Not fearing what lies ahead, they should defeat the hordes of demons and obtain the fruition of the Way.

Section 4

Clarifying Good and Evil

The Buddha said, "Living beings may perform Ten Good Deeds or Ten Evil Deeds. What are the ten? Three are done with the body, four are done with the mouth, and three are done with the mind. The three done with the body are killing, stealing, and lust. The four done with the mouth are duplicity, harsh speech, lies, and frivolous speech. The three done with the mind are jealousy, hatred, and stupidity. Thus these ten are not in accord with the Way of Sages and are called the Ten Evil Deeds. To put a stop to these evils is to perform the Ten Good Deeds. "
