Kindle Notes & Highlights
Death is certain for the born; for the dead, rebirth is certain. Since both cannot be avoided, you have no reason for your sorrow.
Self-possessed, resolute, act without any thought of results, open to success or failure.
As a fire is obscured by smoke, as a mirror is covered by dust, as a fetus is wrapped in its membrane, so wisdom is obscured by desire.
Ignorant men without faith are easily mired in doubt; they can never be truly happy in this world or the world beyond.
Acting with deep compassion from within my own being, I dispel all ignorance-born darkness with wisdom’s resplendent light.
They say that life is an accident caused by sexual desire, that the universe has no moral order, no truth, no God.
