5.13

'Laozi said: "Do not prize goods that are hard to obtain, so that the people will not become thieves." The Buddha said: "Do not keep gold, silver, or images of living beings." The Classic of Documents says: "Only by not boasting will no one under heaven contend with you for merit." (Fa means boasting. If one does not boast of having merit, then no one under heaven will contend with you for that merit.)
