Following the Noble Path is like entering a dark room with a light in the hand; the darkness will all be cleared away, and the room will be filled with light.

More from Buddha

• An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
• A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
• Better than a thousand hollow words,
• However many holy words you read,
• We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
