Is it tall or far? The mind is a bright mirror. Is the reflection you or others? Conditions are terms. Are they sufficient or not? Temples are schools. Do you or do you not learn? Food is like medicine. Is it good for you or not? The body is an object. Is it functioning or not? Life is a candle in the wind. Is it safe or is it in danger? Human mind is a monkey or horse. Is it restless or is it peaceful? Desire is an abyss. Can you go down there or not? Arrogance is a lofty mountain. You may as well stay away!
