107 Arhat Revata (Thunderous Virtue)


People in the world are greedy for fame and profit, busy all day for them. But fame and fortune are external possessions, not brought into life nor taken away at death. Only poetry, literature, etiquette, and music are worth a thousand pieces of gold.


For those who receive this verse, one is busy making a living, and although one possesses some wealth, one's inner world is empty, like a walking corpse. One should read more and constantly enrich oneself with knowledge to enrich one's inner life. Otherwise, not only will one's inner life be impoverished, but what one has acquired will also be lost.
