Daily Buddhist Wisdom
The
pleasure and joy that arise in dependence on the eye: this is the
gratification in the eye. That the eye is impermanent, suffering, and
subject to change: this is the danger in the eye. The removal and
abandonment of desire and lust from the eye: this is the escape from the
eye.
- Buddha, "The Connected Discourses of the Buddha"
