Thought for Wed, 31 Mar 2010

While the Tathagata, in his teaching, constantly makes use of conceptions
and ideas about them, disciples should keep in mind the unreality of all
such conceptions and ideas. They should recall that the Tathagata, in
making use of them in explaining the Dharma always uses them in the
semblance of a raft that is of use only to cross a river. As the raft is
of no further use after the river is crossed, it should be discarded. So
these arbitrary conceptions of things and about things should be wholly
given up as one attains enlightenment. -Buddha
