The Bodhisatta, having put Mara to flight, gave himself up to meditation. But selfhood blinds them, and they cling to their obnoxious desires. Thus they continue to move in the coil and can find no escape from the hell of their own making. Hollow like the plantain-tree and without contents like the bubble. The world is full of evil and sorrow, because it is full of lust.
Men go astray because they think that delusion is better than truth.
The Dharma is the truth. The Dharma is the sacred law. The Dharma is religion. The Dharma alone can deliver us from error, from wrong and from sorrow. From stirrings, formative and organizing, rises awareness or feelings.
