supreme realization. Upon his nirvana, his body turned into many precious relics for future

他在对弟子的教言中说道：“如果相信我的话，立时就可获得安乐，即使相信我，也没有

快乐，至少应从心底生起什么也不贪求、什么也不蓄积的心念。不欲获得是最殊胜的获得

. j5 u% R- x; w( s( G诚心想修法，就必须让心依于贫穷，贫穷乃至死亡。一旦生出此种念头，则无论天、魔、
人都不能侵犯，如果不遗余力地算计今生，则只能自取其辱，不但自己品尝自己酿成的苦
酒，还要承受他人的讥讽，来世还须奔赴恶趣去感受无边无际的痛苦。”
