Sorrow is transcended

By giving up all, sorrow is transcended
And my mind will realize the sorrowless state.
It is best that I (now) give everything to all beings
In the same way I shall (at death)  

(A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, ch. 3, v. 12, trans.  Stephen Batchelor)


Matthew 6:19-21

King James Version (KJV)
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
