(THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO CHAPTERS --24)
The Buddha said: "There is nothing like lust. Lust may be said to be the most powerful passion. Fortunately, we have but one thing which is more powerful. If the thirst for truth were weaker than passion, how many of us in the world would be able to follow the way of righteous?"


(佛說四十二章經 --24)

(THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO CHAPTERS --23)
The Buddha said: "Men are tied up to their families and possessions more helplessly than in a prison. There is an occasion for the prisoner to be released, but householders entertain no desire to be relieved from the ties of family. When a man's passion is aroused nothing prevents him from ruining himself. Even into the maws of a tiger will he jump. Those who are thus drowned in the filth of passion are called the ignorant. Those who are able to overcome it are saintly Arhats."


(佛說四十二章經 --23)
佛言。人繫於妻子舍宅。甚於牢獄。牢獄有散釋之期。妻子無遠離之念。情愛於色。豈憚驅馳。雖有虎口之患。心存甘伏。投泥自溺。故曰凡夫。透得此門。出塵羅漢。

(THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO CHAPTERS --22)
The Buddha said: "People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue."


(佛說四十二章經 --22)

(THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO CHAPTERS --21)
The Buddha said: "Moved by their selfish desires, people seek after fame and glory. But when they have acquired it, they are already stricken in years. If you hanker after worldly fame and practise not the Way, your labors are wrongfully applied and your energy is wasted. It is like unto burning an incense stick. However much its pleasing odor be admired, the fire that consumes is steadily burning up the stick."


(佛說四十二章經 --21)
佛言。人隨情欲。求於聲名。聲名顯著。身已故矣。貪世常名。而不學道。枉功勞形。譬如燒香。雖人聞香。香之燼矣。危身之火。而在其後。

The Buddha said: "You should think of the four elements of which the body is composed. Each of them has its own name, and there is no such thing there known as ego. As there is really no ego, it is like unto a mirage."

The Buddha said: "Look up to heaven and down on earth, and they will remind you of their impermanency. Look about the world, and it will remind you of its impermanency. But when you gain spiritual enlightenment, you shall then find wisdom. The knowledge thus attained leads you anon to the Way."


(佛說四十二章經 --19)

(THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO CHAPTERS --18)

The Buddha said: "My doctrine is to think the thought that is unthinkable, to practise the deed that is not-doing, to speak the speech that is inexpressible, and to be trained in the discipline that is beyond discipline. Those who understand this are near, those who are confused are far. The Way is beyond words and expressions, is bound by nothing earthly. Lose sight of it to an inch, or miss it for a moment, and we are away from it forevermore."

(佛說四十二章經 --18)

佛言。吾法念無念念，行無行行。言無言言。修無修修。會者近爾。迷者遠乎。言語道斷。非物所拘。差之毫釐。失之須臾。

The Buddha said: "Seeing the Way is like going into a dark room with a torch; the darkness instantly departs, while the light alone remains. When the Way is attained and the truth is seen, ignorance vanishes and enlightenment abides forever."

(THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO CHAPTERS --16)
The Buddha said: "Those who have passions are never able to perceive the Way; for it is like stirring up clear water with hands; people may come there wishing to find a reflection of their faces, which, however, they will never see. A mind troubled and vexed with the passions is impure, and on that account it never sees the Way. O monks, do away with passions. When the dirt of passion is removed the Way will manifest itself."


(佛說四十二章經 --16)
佛言。人懷愛欲。不見道者。譬如澄水。致手攪之。眾人共臨。無有睹其影者。人以愛欲交錯。心中濁興。故不見道。汝等沙門。當捨愛欲。愛欲垢盡。道可見矣。

(THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO CHAPTERS --15)
A monk asked the Buddha: "What is most powerful, and what is most illuminating?"

The Buddha said: "Meekness is most powerful, for it harbors no evil thoughts, and, moreover, it is restful and full of strength. As it is free from evils, it is sure to be honored by all.

"The most illuminating is a mind which is thoroughly cleansed of dirt, and which, remaining pure, retains no blemishes. From the time when there was yet no- heaven and earth till the present day, there is nothing in the ten quarters which is not seen, or known, or heard by such a mind, for it has gained all-knowledge, and for that reason it is called 'illuminating."'


(佛說四十二章經 --15)

A monk asked the Buddha: "Under what conditions is it possible to come to the knowledge of the past and to understand the most supreme Way?" 

The Buddha said: "Those who are pure in heart and single in purpose are able to understand the most supreme Way. It is like polishing a mirror, which becomes bright when the dust is removed. Remove your passions, and have no hankering, and the past will be revealed unto you."


(佛說四十二章經 --13)

The Buddha said: "Evil-doers who denounce the wise resemble a person who spits against the sky; the spittle will never reach the sky, but comes down on himself. Evil-doers again resemble a man who stirs the dust against the wind; the dust is never raised without doing him injury. Thus, the wise will never be hurt, but the curse is sure to destroy the evil-doers themselves."

The Buddha said: "Once a man came unto me and denounced me on account of my observing the Way and practising great lovingkindness. But I kept silent and did not answer him. The denunciation ceased. I then asked him, If you bring a present to your neighbor and he accepts it not, does the present come back to you?' The man replied, 'It will.' I said, 'You denounce me now, but as I accept it not, you must take the wrong deed back on your own person. It is like echo succeeding sound, it is like shadow following object; you never escape the effect of your own evil deeds. Be therefore mindful, and cease from doing evil.'"
