“Just as the light of a candle has the power to dispel darkness in a room, so also the light developed in one man can help dispel darkness in several others.”
“With one candle you can bring light to a dark room, but you can never bring darkness in a well lit room.”
“It is like a lighted torch whose flame can be distributed to ever so many other torches which people may bring along; and therewith they will cook food and dispel darkness, while the original torch itself remains burning ever the same. It is even so with the bliss of the Way.”
“Life has a definite purpose: to have one’s darkness of mind dispelled, and so achieve never-ending happiness.”
“Like a lamp, dispelling the darkness of ignorance”
“The shadow of scepticism is dispelled in the light of real knowledge.”
