Don’t burn something else. You must take refuge in yourself and take refuge in the Dharma. Don’t take refuge in something else. How must a monk light himself, burn the Dharma, and not burn something else? How must he take refuge in himself, take refuge in the Dharma, and not take refuge in something else? > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “Here, a monk observes the internal body as body diligently and without negligence. His attention to it isn’t lost, and he removes worldly craving and sorrow. He observes the external body as body … observes internal and external body as body diligently and without negligence. His attention to it isn’t lost, and he removes worldly craving and sorrow. He likewise observes feeling, mind, and principles. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “This is a monk who lights himself, burns the Dharma, and doesn’t burn something else.
