## Chapter 2: Collection of Examples
**If a Teliputra (oil-presser's son) has 250 houses, and he has to climb a difficult mountain, he would guard his journey with the same care as he would guard his 250 houses.**
**Just as a Teliputra would not be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised, nor would he fold his hands (in respect) when he sees a king, so too he would not be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised, nor would he fold his hands (in respect) when he sees a monk, nor would he be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised, nor would he fold his hands (in respect) when he sees a path, nor would he be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised, nor would he fold his hands (in respect) when he sees a back, nor would he be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised, nor would he fold his hands (in respect) when he sees a front.**
**Just as a Teliputra would guard his 250 houses, so too he would guard his home. If there are any outsiders in his home, such as servants, messengers, or brothers, he would not be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. If there are any insiders in his home, such as his father, mother, or his son, he would not be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised.**
**Just as a Teliputra would guard his home, so too he would guard his bed. When he lies down on his bed, he would say to himself, "I am leaving my 250 houses, and I am leaving my home, and I am leaving my family, and I am leaving my friends, and I am leaving my relatives, and I am leaving my servants, and I am leaving my messengers, and I am leaving my companions, and I am leaving my wife, and I am leaving my children, and I am leaving my possessions, and I am leaving my wealth, and I am leaving my body, and I am leaving my life, and I am leaving my soul, and I am leaving my mind, and I am leaving my senses, and I am leaving my thoughts, and I am leaving my feelings, and I am leaving my desires, and I am leaving my attachments, and I am leaving my aversions, and I am leaving my ignorance, and I am leaving my karma, and I am leaving my rebirth, and I am leaving my suffering, and I am leaving my death, and I am leaving my liberation, and I am leaving my enlightenment, and I am leaving my Nirvana." And he would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He would be careful not to be careless, nor would he be negligent, nor would he be surprised. He
