Wisdom is like water: if not used, it stagnates; if stagnant, it does not flow; if it does not flow, wisdom does not function. How then could one deal with greedy desire and wrathful anger?' Although I was young at that time, my mind knew that he was a kalyāṇamitra. Thereupon I requested to hang my bowl and staff."
