Nothing Compares

“Of difficult things, nothing compares to the difficulty of restoration.

In withdrawing things, nothing compares to the difficulty of withdrawing conceit.

In abandoning things, nothing compares to the difficulty of abandoning the channels of sensuality.

In goodness, nothing compares to the goodness of the 'going forth' ordination.

In searching for things, nothing compares to the difficulty of searching for oneself.

And in states of poverty, nothing compares to the difficulty of being poor in discernment.”

– Luang Pu Wan Uttamo
