The Dharma of the Buddha
does not require a person to go into homelessness
or to resign from the world,
unless he or she feels called upon to do so.
The Dharma asks every person
to free themselves from the illusion of self,
to cleanse one’s heart,
to give up one’s thirst for pleasure,
and lead a life of balance.

Buddhacarita
