1.30

The Buddha said: "Craving and desire to a person are like holding a torch and walking against the wind. If a foolish person does not release the torch, there will surely be the calamity of burning their hand. When the poisons of covetous lust, wrathful anger, and foolish delusion reside within a person's body, if one does not early on use the Way to eliminate these misfortunes, there will surely be danger and disaster, just as the foolish and covetous person who holds the torch burns their own hand."
