Of paths, the eightfold is best.
Of truths, the four sayings.
Of qualities, dispassion.
Of two-footed beings,
the one with the eyes
to see.
Just this
is the path
— there is no other —
to purify vision.
Follow it,
and that will be Mara's
bewilderment.
Following it,
you put an end
to suffering & stress.
I have taught you this path
having known
— for your knowing —
the extraction of arrows.
It's for you to strive
ardently.
Tathagatas simply
point out the way.
Those who practice,
absorbed in jhana:
from Mara's bonds
they'll be freed. . .
