To achieve the Buddha Path and escape from suffering, there are two phrases in Buddhism you must understand: “End all secular feelings; bury all saintly views” and “Slay the demons and Buddhas as they approach.” Whenever you cultivate virtue, you should have no thought of “self” or “other.” If you hold on to the notion of self and other, you will be unable to attain Anuttara Samyak-Sambodhi.
