... the fools of this world prefer to look for sages far away. They don't believe that the wisdom of their own mind is the sage... the sutras say,
"Mind is the teaching."
But people of no understanding don't believe in their own mind or that by understanding this teaching they can become a sage. They prefer to look for distant knowledge and long for things in space, buddha-images, light, incense, and colours. They fall prey to falsehood and lose their minds to insanity
