The eminent monk, the Śākya Daoshi, said: "One who vigorously repents, though knowing to rely on principle, must know the mind's false stirrings and distance oneself from the objects before one. A sūtra says: 'For example, a thousand pounds of cotton blossoms are not equal to an ounce of true gold.' This illustrates that when the mind able to contemplate is strong, the eradication of transgressions is strong."
