THE PRISON of LIFE
Freedom is salvation from prison
~ this is  a discourse on non-attachment from a booklet from Wat Palalei - a translation from Than Achan, Surat Thani Province.


Life itself is prison
The instincts are prison
The senses are prison
Superstition is prison
Sacred institutions are prisons
Teachers are prison
Holy things are prison
Goodness is prison
Views are prison
Purity is the highest prison
Voidness is no prison
