四十二章經 1.21

1.21

佛言：「夫為道者，譬如持炬火入冥室中，其冥即滅而明猶在，學道見諦，愚癡都滅，得無不見。」

The Buddha said: "One who practices the Way is like one holding a torch and entering a dark room: the darkness is immediately extinguished while the light remains. Studying the Way and seeing the truths, folly is entirely destroyed, and there is nothing one does not see."
