The Buddha says:

Lust is hard to satisfy, just as it is hard for a river to fill up the ocean.

The oceans could be filled up with dirt and rocks until they were dry, but that tiny little hole under your nose--your mouth--can never be filled up.

A child gave Master Cheng Yen a folding fan that he had made himself. Master encouraged him to make an even larger fan. He said: "Master, please give me some advice."

Pay more attention.
