As You Wish for Yourself

Reflection

The verse begins, “If, like a shattered metal plate (gong), thou utter not, then thou hast reached Nirvana.” In its chapter, this image points toward recognizing that other beings fear pain as we do. Its value is practical when it changes how you meet one choice, relationship, or difficult feeling today. Because this is a historic English translation, test the teaching in experience rather than treating its wording as a demand for belief.
