________________
happiness must be sought inside the depth
of one's own heart.
11. Neither the body, nor family, nor caste, is adorable. Who would have respect for those that are devoid of virtue ? One that hath no merit is neither a Shramana nor a Shravaka,
12. Complete absence of ill-will towards. every living being and good-will for all, inspire the life and activities of a sincere aspirant who does neither covet life nor desire death. Prayer
I bow to Him who has conquered fear, conquered all afflictions, conquered sensual vexations, conquered passions, emotions, attachment, aversion and delusion, and has conquered pleasure and pain. May my misery end and the Karmic forces be annihilated. May I attain enlightenment and meet a peaceful death. May thy feet, O' Noble Jina, the friend of all living beings, be my happy refuge!
