"Attainment of enlightenment is like the moon reflected in the water. The moon does not get wet, the water isn't broken. Though it is a vast expansive light, it rests in a little bit of water - even the whole moon, the whole sky, rests in a dewdrop on the grass, rests in even a single droplet of water. That enlightenment does not shatter people is like the moon not piercing the water. People's not obstructing enlightenment is like the drop of dew not obstructing the moon in the sky."
