Buddha said: ‘I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of
dust motes. I observe treasure of gold and gems as so many bricks and
pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see
myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest
lake in India as a drop of oil on my foot. I perceive the teachings of
the world to be the illusion of magicians. I discern the highest
conception of emancipation as golden brocade in a dream, and view the
holy path of the illuminated one as flowers appearing in one’s eyes. I
see meditation as a pillar of a mountain, Nirvana as a nightmare of
daytime. I look upon the judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine
dance of a dragon, and the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left
by the four seasons.' Having only one robe and one bowl, Buddha never concerned himself with "projecting success." He saw through all of it for what it is - dust motes and the rise and fall of causes and conditions. Blessings upon his head... ~ |
