Buddha said: Attachment is like an abyss, which leads to death.
Buddha said: Perseverance is like dust, it is futile and fruitless.
Buddha said: Persistence is like tears, which are broken into the heart, broken and scattered.
I asked the Buddha: What is fate?
Buddha said: The fate is ice, I hold the ice in my arms.
When the ice melted, I realized that the fate was gone.
