1.189

The Buddha said: "When people follow emotional desires and seek illusory fame, it is like burning incense: many people smell its fragrance, but the incense is consumed by its own burning. The foolish covet worldly reputation and do not maintain the truth of the Way; the disaster of illusory fame imperiling oneself brings regret only when it is too late."
