~vlm.p.28 Say great sage, what difference is there between a child and a tree? Both have sensitivity, but neither is able to defend themselves from heat and cold.
Great Thinker
what's the power of an incompetent boy
?
can he escape from the heat and cold any better than an earth-bound tree
?

~vlm.p.29 Children are like birds, subject to fear and hunger, and ready to fly about when impelled by them.
a boy can be said to follow the dharma of the birds
:
he is always flitting about for food
and fleeing from unfounded fears
.

Contentment is the highest gain, Good Company the highest course,
Enquiry the highest wisdom, and Peace the highest enjoyment.
