WORDS OF DHAMMA
Kumbhupamam kayamimam viditva,
Nagarupamam cittamidam thapetva;
Yodhetha mara, paññavudhena,
Jitañca rakkhe anivesano siya.
Knowing the body to be as fragile as an earthen pot, making the mind secure and strong like a fortress, one should battle Mara with the weapon of wisdom, then guard what's won by keeping watch over the mind and remaining detached.
- Dhammapada 40, Cittavagga
