Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

Ajahn Chah — Mindful Way

“Tasmātihānanda, attadīpā viharatha attasaraṇā anaññasaraṇā, dhammadīpā dhammasaraṇā anaññasaraṇā.”

"Sen vuoksi Ananda, ole saari itsellesi, ole turva itsellesi, eläkä etsi muuta turvaa. Pidä dhammaa saarenasi, turvaudu ainoastaan dhammaan, eläkä mihinkään muuhun"
