These teachings are like a raft


 
 

 
 
 
These teachings are like a raft, 
to be abandoned once you have crossed the flood. 
 
Since you should abandon even good states of mind generated by these teachings,
 How much more so should you abandon bad states of mind! 
 
 
Conquer the angry man by love.
 Conquer the ill-natured man by goodness. 
Conquer the miser with generosity.
 Conquer the liar with truth.
