Merit and demerit are the only things we can take with us |
Addressing the former governor of Sri Saket Province, Thailand, when he visited the temple:
When you enter the temple, even a dignitary should leave his rank and title outside because these are earthly mantles.
They are not things you can take with you when you die.
They are merely masks, and once removed, you are no different from anyone else.
Nothing in life is significant except merit and demerit. They are the only things which matter. |
