The Prison of Life #12
Buddhadasa Bhikkhu
Clinging to self as self and then as belonging to self, attaching to ‘I’ and ‘mine’ — this is the true prison, the heart and soul of all prisons. All prisons are gathered in this thing called ‘attā.’ Tear out the foolishness that creates attā, along with attā itself, and all the prisons will be gone.
